Tamiya 70272 Compact Bevel Differential for STEM and Spare Parts  [70272]

Compact Tamiya 70272 bevel differential with transparent casing

This differential gear unit is supplied as a spare for Tamiya educational construction projects. The bevel-gear configuration enables differential rotation between driven shafts so inner and outer shafts can rotate at differing speeds through corners. The transparent housing allows direct viewing of gear engagement, useful for monitoring mesh and teaching mechanical principles.

Internally, the gears have low-friction tooth profiles and torque is delivered through three metal 3 mm hex shafts. The design is compatible with separately sold Universal Plates and Universal Arms from the Tamiya Educational Construction Series, providing a compact differential option where space is limited.

Serviceable and user-friendly aspects include removable screws for internal access and a factory-applied lubricant that reduces break-in wear. The part is aimed at hobbyists, educators, and collectors who want a visible differential mechanism for classroom projects, models on display, or as a replacement component.

The 70272 differential offers a space-efficient, inspectable solution for STEM builds and part replacements, with metal hex shafts and a clear case for easy verification of gear action.
