The 72003 Tamiya High Power and High Efficiency Gearbox works well when extra torque is necessary.

The Tamiya 72003 high-power gearbox can be built in a gear ratio of 41.7:1 or 64.8:1, making it well-suited for most vehicles that require a balance of speed and torque.

The low-voltage motors in the high-power gearbox run on 1.5-4.5 volts and draw up to a few amps, making them perfect candidates for the Pololu low-voltage dual serial motor controller and the DRV8833 motor driver carrier (2130-POLOLU). 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.

This gearbox has a 4 mm diameter, round output shaft, which works with the wheels that are compatible with Tamiya 4 mm, round shafts. Our 3 mm universal mounting hub also fits on the smaller threaded end of the shaft, although it is not specifically intended to work with this type of shaft (the hub’s set screw could damage the thread on the shaft).

For motor specs, see the Mabuchi motor RE-260 (#2295) data sheet (59k pdf). 

Note: The high-power gearbox is a kit; assembly is required. To use the kit in robotics projects, you need to connect the motors to your own robot controller.

General specifications

Typical operating voltage: 3 V
Gear ratio options: 41.7, 64.8 :1
Free-run motor shaft speed @ 3V: 9400 rpm1
Free-run current @ 3V: 150 mA2
Stall current @ 3V: 2700 mA
Motor shaft stall torque @ 3V: 0.97 oz·in3

Notes:

1- A theoretical speed of the gearbox output shaft can be computed by dividing this speed by the gear ratio.
2- This is the no-load current of the motor when disconnected from the gears in the gearbox; the no-load current of the entire gearbox with the motor connected will be slightly higher and will vary depending on the gear ratio.
3- A theoretical torque of the gearbox output shaft can be computed by multiplying this torque by the gear ratio.
