Practical STEM Play with the Tamiya 70163 Submarine Motor with Float

The Tamiya 70163 Submarine Motor with Float is crafted to introduce core mechanical and buoyancy ideas through hands-on build work. The kit is part of Tamiya's STEM range and helps newcomers see how simple electric motors drive movement in water.

Included Parts and Operation

The kit contains a small assembly motor and a styrofoam float for straightforward demonstrations of propulsion and flotation. Assembly reveals the motor mechanism, while the float at 170x100 mm provides a reliable platform for testing in calm water.

Learning Scenarios and Safety Notes

Great for group projects or individual learning, the kit runs on a single R6/AA/UM3 battery (not supplied) and is best used with supervision when conducting water-based trials to ensure safe handling and observation.

No prior experience is required; the kit suits beginners and offers a gentle introduction to motor assembly and testing.
Battery life depends on the cell used and how long you run tests; use fresh R6/AA/UM3 cells for longer demonstration periods.
Yes, try adding small weights or changing the float trim to study how buoyancy and balance change with load and position.
