Overview of Tamiya 72101 with Geared Motor 380K75 and sponge tyres

The Tamiya 72101 kit provides two 380K75 geared motors fitted with sponge tyres, suitable for hobbyist robotics and small vehicle projects. Each 380K75 motor runs on DC7.2V, has an unloaded speed of 242 rpm and a maximum torque rating of 5.0 kg/cm, enabling the combined units to carry around 4kg when used appropriately in builds.

Performance, mounting and use cases

Ideal for prototypes, school teams and weekend builders, each motor-wheel unit supports about 2kg. The kit includes motor mounts, wheel hub shafts and assorted fittings to ease installation into a variety of chassis layouts.

  • Motor Type: Geared Motor 380K75

What load can each motor handle in the Tamiya 72101 kit?

Each motor-wheel assembly is rated to support roughly 2kg, giving a combined capacity close to 4kg. Real-world capacity depends on gearing, battery voltage and duty cycle.

Do the sponge tyres suit outdoor use?

Sponge tyres offer good grip on smooth indoor and flat outdoor surfaces but wear faster on abrasive terrain. Choose running surface accordingly for longer tyre life.

What should I check before installing these motors?

Confirm the motor shaft orientation, secure motor mounts firmly and verify the wheel hub shaft aligns with your chassis. Check wiring and voltage before first run.
