This gearbox has four possible gear ratios, including the highest gear ratio of Tamiya's gearbox series, 5402:1. The other options are 126:1, 441:1, and 1543:1. This gearbox also features a worm gear, which locks the output shaft when the motor is not turning. A clutch gear prevents the gearbox from destroying itself in case the output shaft gets stuck.
The motor is rated for 3 volts but will typically work fine up to 6 volts. When using this product with the dual serial motor controller (or any motor driver based on an H-bridge), keep in mind that up to a few volts (depending on the load) are lost on the transistors of the H-bridge, so that a 4.5 volt battery delivers about 3 volts to the motors, giving them a reasonable amount of power. Motor overheating can be caused by excessive stalling, even at very low voltages. We recommend that you use stall-detection sensors, or just watch your robot, to make sure that it doesn't stall for more than a few seconds at a time.
The 3mm, hexagonal output shaft is compatible with all four types of Tamiya wheels.
(Note: This gearbox uses the 18100 motor variant)
See 'Which Wheel' tab for suitable wheels type HEX for a tight fit.

Motor Datasheet (1452-001.pdf, 57 Kb) [Download]
Features
"Lauren,
The motor torque can be found in the datasheet from the 'Downloads' tab. Simply multiply that by the gearbox ratio you desire. You can also take the motor rpm and divide that by the gearbox ratio to find the final rpm. The motor power is also in the datasheet.
If you take a look at the image, you will see that this has a small model motor with plastic gears and is intended for small models, clearly for £10 this is not going to be a 75W geared motor, in fact it is about 100 times less than this, nearer 0.75W.

"Hello,
I am currently looking at purchasing this gearbox (Tamiya 4 Speed Crank Axle Gearbox Item #70110). But I noticed that there is no mention of what the output torque of this gearbox is. The specifications that I am currently looking for is a torque value of 2-4Nm with a motor (60-180rpm) given a power of 75W. Will this gearbox be able to provide a torque of 2-4Nm under these conditions?
Thank you!"
– Lauren
"Michael,
1452-011 should be available again today or tomorrow. All of our motors are reversible so no problem there."
– Admin
"I am looking for a substitute for the Tamiya 6 speed motor gearbox, which you say is unavailable at the moment. A gear ratio of 1:1543 will suit my application, but can you confirm that the direction of the final drive can be reversed by changing the voltage polarity applied to the motor?"
– Michael Bone
"Wow great! I hadn't noticed about the calculator, very useful indeed!
Using the motor that you suggested I think that I could reach a speed of ~0.6 m/s which I guess is a good compromise for a 2cmx2cm ring.
Thank you very much"
– Gil Abrantes
"Gil,
In order to determine whether this motor is suitable, both weight and speed is needed as well as application. With a high reduction ratio, even the smallest motor has the capacity to carry and / or push large weights. With a lower ratio / higher vehicle speed, this capacity is reduced. This is a trade off that you will need to calculate. As a rule of thumb, we use 15W / kg for a combat robot that has both speed and pushing power. Two of these motors only has 1.5W combined so even though our rule of thumb is for a good performance, you would be a factor of 10 undersized. If you had a high ratio and accepted a slow speed it might work but we would not recommend it.
Our robot speed calculator is a useful tool. We would suggest looking at geared motors with at least a few watts each. We would probably choose the MFA 950D series geared motor."
– Admin
"Yes, sorry I forgot those important details.
It will weight around 1.5 Kg, about the speed that can be flexible, the "arena" will be around 2m X 2m, the robot should not be too slow but it must have some torque to pull others out(same weight), I need to find a good balance.
Thank you very much"
– Gil Abrantes
"Gil,
What weight and speed will your robot be?"
