The twin can only be built with 2. **Q: I have a Tamiya 1:35 scale Sturmgeschütz IV (Kit #35087), what else do I need besides this motor gearbox to make the tank R/C?** A: From what I can tell from TamiyaUSA your model is basically a static display. You are going to need an RC system (transmitter(s) / receiver(s) ), propulsion (presumably DC motors and possibly but not necessary a gear box like the one you asked about. I would contact someone in the RC model business (RC planes, boats, cars, whatever) to discuss your plans.http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/plastic-model-series-20/1-35-scale-military-miniature-12000/german-sturmgeschutz-iv-kit-35087 **Q: how much more narrow is the twin motor gearbox than the double gearbox?** A: here are the dimensions for twin motor gearbox: Specifications:Size: 75 x 50 x 23 mmShafts: 3 mm hex, 105 mm long.The included FA-130 motors run at 3.0 Volts (4.5 V max)Stall torque: 4.6 gcmNo-load speed: 13,230 rpmCurrent: 0.5 A (each)Maximum ratio: 203:1Open axle space: 50mm each sideSpeed and Torque outputs (approximate), at 3 Volts:Gear Ratio: 58:1, 203:1Speed RPM: 230, 65Torque g-cm: 269, 941 dimensions for double gearbox:size: 70mm x 60mm x 23mm **Q: Will this gearbox match up with the Tamiya tracked vehicle chassis or would I need to pick up the other style you sell that's around $1 more?** A: I have used those two together without a problem ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by S***O on 5 May 2015* Stong this one well made id buy again ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ やっぱりタミヤ *by K***U on 27 June 2025* 前にも購入して使いました。工作にカチッとしたタミヤの製品はグレードアップさせてくれます。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamiya 70097 Twin-Motor Gearbox Kit ... *by C***N on 11 March 2017* très bon matériel un peut dur a monter notice en chinois a recommander pour les char 1/16 en kit non radio-commander ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya 70097 Twin Motor Gearbox Assembly Set - Tamiya 70168 Double Gearbox - Tamiya Track and Wheel Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/112535408-tamiya-70097-twin-motor-gearbox-assembly-set](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/112535408-tamiya-70097-twin-motor-gearbox-assembly-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
