Our Review
For $22.79 CAD, the 4WD Robot Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoders ABS + Metal, Quad-Reduction DC Motors, 2-Pack packs respectable specs: Drive: Tank tracks, Platform: ABS molded, Motors: 4x TT gear motors. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.
Assembly took about 1.5 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 design accommodates various controller boards and sensor placements.
For the price point, the 4WD Robot Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoders ABS + Metal, Quad-Reduction DC Motors, 2-Pack delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where robotics kits & frames components are essential.
What We Like
- Compatible with popular Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards
- Good starting platform for learning robotics fundamentals
- Open-source or well-documented wiring diagrams available
- Modular design allows reconfiguration for different projects
Watch Out For
- Some acrylic parts are brittle and crack if overtightened
- Wire routing is tight in compact chassis designs
- Screws and standoffs are metric — imperial tools will not fit
