Our Review

For $24.89 CAD, the 4WD Robot Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoder for, ABS+Metal Material, 4-Pack Gear Motors 1:48 packs respectable specs: Drive: Mecanum wheel 4WD, Platform: Carbon fiber frame, Motors: 4x TT gear motors. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.

Assembly took about 2 hours following the included instructions. The fit and finish of the parts was acceptable — minor filing needed on a couple of pieces.

The platform provides a solid foundation for learning. We mounted an Arduino Uno, ultrasonic sensor, and motor driver without running out of mounting real estate. The acrylic frame is lightweight and easy to drill for custom mounts.

Overall, the 4WD Robot Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoder for, ABS+Metal Material, 4-Pack Gear Motors 1:48 fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.

What We Like

  • All mechanical hardware (nuts, bolts, spacers) included
  • Compatible with popular Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards
  • Detailed assembly instructions included
  • Good starting platform for learning robotics fundamentals

Watch Out For

  • Wire routing is tight in compact chassis designs
  • Screws and standoffs are metric — imperial tools will not fit
  • Battery is usually not included
