Part Request: Tamiya boat mototors (replacements for Mabuchi S-1) - Eugen - 2024-10-16

Request for Tamiya boat motors (successors of discontinued Mabuchi S-1):

Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor ("Yellow with Blue rudder/propeller/hub"): Tamiya 70178/70179 Submarine Motor Mini ("Blue with White rudder/proppeller): Tamiya 70185 Submarine Motor Mini, High-Speed variant ("Red with White rudder/propeller"):
Playmobil 7201 Underwater Motor (with stiffeners, almost identical to Mabuchi S-1)  Playmobil 5159/7350 Underwater Motor ("Blue Violet"???, with slots on nose part and longer rudder part) There was also some unnamed variants without labels (clones of made in Hong Kong?), different from other by angled rudders and much longer noses, some has propeller hub too (just for reference):
NOTE: Mabuchi S-1 already has few variants:

Hello Eugen,

Out of curiosity, why are you asking for these parts? Are you planning a digital MOC that includes them, do you have an immediate need for them?

These are the only Mabuchi S-1 replacements (Third Party parts) on the market actually, which are backward compatible with the next LEGO sets:
  • Set 1118
  • Set 314
  • Set 315-2
  • Set 316
  • Set 4005
  • Set 4015
  • Set 4025
  • Set 709
  • Set 775

And they looks identically to the "white unnamed Third Party motor siluete" as shown in the LEGO instructions for these sets.

found a Playmobil 7350, that one is NOT compatible with the newer hulls...
this one only fits to the weighed keel with tab because it has some "fins" at the connector side which makes it too wide for the integrated tabs of the newer hulls.
(and we dont like playmobil that much)

I'll state for the record that the Playmobile parts will not be included in the library regardless of compatibility. I was dubious about the motor that has already been submitted. 

Additionally, I can virtually guarantee that any new submission of these motors (aside from patterns of the one already on the tracker) will not fulfill the new policy (but I'm welcome to be proven wrong).

OK, declined request for Playmobil.

I suppose that all of available patterns should be added for Mabuchi (2 out of 3 already on PT).

And request is active for Tamaya's motors, as they are the only successors to Mabuchi S-1 available in stock (if call Playmobil a "clone brick" company).
