Tamiya 70240 - Overview of the 36T/12T Gear Set

The Tamiya 70240 set supplies a useful assortment of gears for hobbyist builds and educational kits. Parts are sized for accurate engagement and straightforward substitution in compatible gearboxes.

What You Get

Derived from the Tamiya Single Gearbox (4-Speed), the package includes:

36T/12T gear items, three pieces
34T/12T crown gears, two pieces
One 36T final gear
Assorted bushings, shafts and small mounting parts

The 0.5 module tooth standard makes these gears adaptable to a variety of small mechanical assemblies.

How Builders Use These Gears

Suitable for repairs, custom gear trains and educational builds, the Tamiya 70240 components can be integrated into other Tamiya kits or used to prototype gear reductions in model projects.

Can I swap these gears into an existing gearbox?

Often yes, provided the shaft diameters and spacing match. Measure clearances and alignments before swapping to avoid binding.

Are these suitable for waterproof or sealed applications?

The gears are standard model parts and are not specifically sealed. If using in wet conditions, protect bearings and apply appropriate lubrication to limit corrosion and wear.

What lubricants work best on these gears?

A light synthetic grease for plastic gears or a PTFE-based paste is recommended to reduce wear and noise without degrading plastic components.
