Hobbyist Friendly Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor

The Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor is a straightforward component for model watercraft and educational kits. It is engineered to be easy to fit into small projects while illustrating the basics of small motor drive systems.

Experiments in Buoyancy and Thrust

The kit is great for testing buoyancy, balance and thrust on simple models. It features a type FA-130 motor and a suction cup mounting option that attaches to smooth plastics, enabling quick trials on makeshift hulls.

Features and Practical Tips

The Tamiya 70153 includes a rudder for simple course correction, improving on-water handling. Typical continuous operation is about two hours depending on battery and load. The kit needs one R6/AA/UM3 battery, sold separately.

Rinse or wipe off any salt or debris after use, keep the shaft lubricated lightly if needed, and store dry to prolong the FA-130 motor life.
Yes, rechargeable NiMH AA cells can be used but may alter run time compared to fresh alkaline cells. Check voltage and capacity to match performance needs.
Fine-tune rudder angle and balance the hull fore and aft. Small trim tabs or weight adjustments often help the model track straighter during runs.
