Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini - Build and Test

The Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini joins the Educational Construction Series with a focus on hands-on building and simple hydrodynamics. The kit contains the submarine motor plus a 6mm thick styrofoam float, ideal for quick water trials and garage-scale experiments.

Build Skills and Water Trials

This kit helps users test basic propulsion and flotation ideas in real water. Try different float positions and small hull concepts to learn how balance and thrust affect running behaviour, and integrate it with 1/700 Waterline Series models for scale experiments.

Power Needs and Integration

The motor takes one R3/AAA/UM4 alkaline battery (sold separately) for straightforward powering. Its compact form factor makes it easy to combine with other Tamiya parts or to adapt into your own DIY boats and teaching rigs.
