Quick Overview
This DIYables RC 2WD robot car chassis kit includes motor speed encoder support, 130 magnetic torque motors, and acrylic double-layer chassis for Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi robotics projects. The kit features speed disk holes for encoder sensors, enabling precise speed control and odometry.
The chassis includes two powerful 130 anti-jamming magnetic motors (3-10V, 1:48 gear ratio) with stable operation and minimal vibration. The thickened acrylic chassis measures 22cm length with mounting holes for 5-AA battery packs or 2-lithium battery setups. At 7.2V, idle current is approximately 130mA, running current around 200mA.
Ideal for autonomous robots, line-following cars, obstacle-avoidance vehicles, remote-controlled cars, and educational robotics. The double-layer design provides space for electronics, sensors, and battery mounting. Simple installation with included guide.
