Workshop Guide to Tamiya 70167 Single Gear Box

The Tamiya 70167 Single Gear Box is a practical gearbox aimed at hobbyists and makers who want to explore gearing basics. With four distinct gear ratios you can tailor output for either higher speed or increased torque depending on your build requirements.

Layout and Mechanical Details

The gearbox runs a single motor and offers ratios of 12.7:1, 38.2:1, 114.7:1 and 344.2:1. These choices let you experiment with drive characteristics. A motor cover and crank arm are part of the package to simplify mounting on compatible models.

Materials and Compatibility Notes

Both the case and the gears are formed from durable plastic engineered for regular handling. The included FA-130 type motor suits small robotics and educational projects and the unit fits with a variety of Tamiya kits commonly used in workshops and maker sessions.

Do I need special tools to fit the gearbox?

Basic hobby tools like small screwdrivers and pliers are enough. No specialised machining is required for standard installation into Tamiya kits.

Is lubrication necessary for the gears?

A light application of a plastic-safe grease can reduce wear and noise, especially under heavier loads. Avoid over-lubricating since excess can attract dust.

Can this gearbox handle off-road use?

It is designed for educational and light hobby projects rather than heavy off-road stresses. For rough terrain applications you should assess loads and consider reinforced gearing solutions.

Where can I find spare parts if needed?

Spare parts and replacement FA-130 motors are often available from hobby suppliers and official Tamiya parts listings. Check parts compatibility before ordering replacements.
