Our Review
After integrating the 4WD Robot Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoders, ABS + Metal Construction, Quad-Drive DC Motors, 2-Pack into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Drive: Mecanum wheel 4WD, Platform: Carbon fiber frame, Motors: 4x TT gear motors.
Assembly took about 1 hour following the included instructions. The fit and finish of the parts was excellent for the price — laser-cut parts fit precisely.
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 design accommodates various controller boards and sensor placements.
The 4WD Robot Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoders, ABS + Metal Construction, Quad-Drive DC Motors, 2-Pack earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
What We Like
- Modular design allows reconfiguration for different projects
- All mechanical hardware (nuts, bolts, spacers) included
- Sturdy construction withstands crashes during testing
- Pre-drilled mounting holes for servos, sensors, and controllers
Watch Out For
- Wire routing is tight in compact chassis designs
- Software examples are basic and need expansion for real projects
- Some acrylic parts are brittle and crack if overtightened
