Our Review
For $26.79 CAD, the 4WD Robot Smart Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoder for Arduino, for DC Motor and ABS+Metal Structure packs respectable specs: Drive: Tank tracks, Platform: Acrylic dual-layer, Motors: 4x TT gear motors. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.
Assembly took about 45 minutes following the included instructions. The fit and finish of the parts was good — holes lined up and screws threaded smoothly.
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.
The 4WD Robot Smart Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoder for Arduino, for DC Motor and ABS+Metal Structure 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
