I needed a gearbox that would run ... - this gearbox is super nice. I needed a gearbox that would run super slow and steddy so I got two of these and was able to get the exact speed I wanted. it all went together quit well the assembly is simple almost lego like so it allows you to fit it to whatever you want to fit it to easily. To any hobbyist this is a vary good gear box to have lying around Review: Good but some confusion - puting it together can be a pain, instructions are ok but need to take it very very slow. also these tiny little tabs that you break off at the start you should really use clippers to make sure its removed smooth to the surface otherwise you may haver some issue like i did at first. But besides that once its all put toogether i noticed with 2 AA batteries as the power source it was able to pick up 6lb weight, i suppoted the other end of the shaft also with a wheel so the rod does not bend, pretty cool. ## Features - Kit features snap or screw together construction and color molded parts to eliminate needing paint or glue - Target Gender: Boys - The main country of manufacture: Japan - high quality material - size 4.2 x 7.2 x 1.5 inches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001Q11U4C | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #281,329 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #59 in Toy Interlocking Gear Sets | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (154) | | Educational Objective | Team Building Skills | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 7.24 x 4.17 x 1.57 inches | | Item Weight | 0.35 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Tamiya | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 168 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 72001-000 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 72001-000 | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Power Source | rechargeable battery | | Set Name | Planetary Gearbox Set | | Size | 4.2 x 7.2 x 1.5 inches | | Subject Character | RC | | Theme | Planets | | UPC | 885499869181 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![72001 Planetary Gearbox Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Zw09bcGFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this gearbox is super nice.
