The Mechanics
The robot chassis is made from ultra-tough laser-cut Lexan structural components, and custom aluminum brackets. By utilizing heavy duty polypropylene and rubber tracks with durrable ABS molded sprockets the robot has excellent traction. It includes two 12VDC gear head motors.
- Wiring Harness - Battery Connector
- 2 x Gearhead Motor Connection Wire
- Laser cut Lexan structural components
- 2 x 12VDC 120RPM 15oz-in GHM-02 Spur Gear Head Motor
- 2 x Track - 2" Wide x 21 links ~23" (single) (TRK-01)
- 6 x Track Sprocket - 6 Link (Pair) (SPRK-01)
This is a really well made kit, the plastic mounting boards are laser cut and very accurate, everthing went together very easily following the instructions which I downloaded. I've got it running just with radio control and a Sabertooth controller at the moment and it performs very well. The tracks are very good with grippy rubber block tread.
The parts are well organized when shipped. The instructions are straight forward. The spare bolt/pin here and there helped. Very high quality completed unit. Only wish is that the outside track plates could be option able available in aluminum for a different look. That's okay, I'll just make my own. PS you'll need a small Phillips screwdriver.
This kit was fun to put together. It's very noisy run, so suitable for outdoors, or if you don't mind a noisy robot. The kit was well-made and accurate. The Lexan looks good. Suitable for hobbyists.
All parts well organized. Everything went together very good and easy. Don't for get to download instructions, they do not come with it. Only took about 1.5 hrs. to put together. Looks like a good platform, looking forward to building the rest of my robot.
