Upgrade Your RC Projects with Tamiya 70173 Plastic Beams

For builders who enjoy kitbashing or making bespoke parts, the Tamiya 70173 Plastic Beams are a straightforward material for small-scale structural work. The 1mm square profile is versatile for many detailing jobs.

Great for Custom Bracing

Use these beams to create tidy braces, linkages or mounting tabs where compact, neat profiles are required. Their consistent dimensions make alignment and stacking predictable during assembly.

Compatible with Common Modding Techniques

The beams cut, file and glue with standard modelling tools and adhesives, letting you incorporate them into standard mod workflows. They are a handy go-to for quick reinforcements and custom fittings.

What is the best way to join multiple beams?

Butt joints with solvent cement or small gusset plates bonded with superglue create sturdy joins. Consider overlapping pieces for extra strength at stress points.

Can I use these indoors and outdoors?

They can be used outdoors but exposure to UV and weather may degrade some plastics over time. Apply a UV-resistant coating or paint if long-term outdoor use is intended.

Are they suitable for radio gear mounts?

For light mounts or tidy cable guides they work fine; for critical radio mounts use a more robust backing or combine with a harder material to avoid flexing.
