Easy to assemble. Code available for arduino. Could not go straight though. Unable to fix that. Good learning experience using ultrasonic and laser distance sensors.

I have several things that I could mount on the chassis. But none of the holes match. Not even an Arduino as advertised. I don’t really like to drill this material, but I am going to have to to mount something.

I needed an extended chassis to support two power packs for a Raspberry PI powered unit with a separate HAT. I couldn't find the plastic/metal plate so I opted for this unit.The wheels don't fit well to the DC motor shafts which don't have any wires attached. So you need some 26 ga wire, connectors and a soldering iron to put this unit together. Be careful trying to force the dc motor shaft into the wheel slot. You could end up with wheels that wobble if you damage the plastic fit. I learned.The battery pack came with the wrong screws to secure it to the chassis. The AA batteries end up resting on domed screw heads so they don't settle in the battery pack. I used velcro strips to secure it to the chassis.I decided to scrap the wheels and find some that could be secured with metal screws that allow them to come off when necessary.Unlike an Adafruit unit, this is NOT a kit that could be easily assembled with the provided parts. Instruction sheet was helpful.

Ordered 10 of these for a birthday party. Overall quality was quite good - the wheels are big and chunky, and the motorized gearboxes work smoothly. The acrylic platform is a good size, and looks great.Out of the 10 boxes (20 motors), the only real problems were that one box was damaged (one bumper corner was cracked -- not critical), and one motor had skipping issues. For most of the acrylic platforms, the switch sat a little loose and required some glue to stay put.Would buy again, though, especially for the price.

There are screws missing and I was not aware until the middle of the build.

I used the car platform, added the Arduino and sensor modules, programmed them, and made my own robot car. The Arduino and motor controller boards are great for this car. I put them together and found that they are quite coordinated. I recently used my Arduino card to test and control the robot car to make it run and succeed. I was worried at the beginning that my card would be incompatible with this car, and now it seems that it can be done. This time I bought the 2 wheels . 2 wheels gives me the feeling that I will try several models. Overall, this car is very good, can be compatible with my Arduino card, if you want to try to make a robot car, you can buy this car to try, chassis and color, as well as the size is suitable. recommend

If you are looking for an inexpensive platform to use for your electronics project, this is a reasonable choice. It is important though to understand the limitations. These are gear motors. That means you will not be able to precisely start or stop them. In fact you'll have to move the vehicle at a fairly fast rate to overcome static friction. The pivot wheel will not move as freely as you like. So sometimes your vehicle will consistently turn to the left as you move forward, and sometimes to the left with the exact same power settings. Neither end is wide enough to mount multiple sonars, so if you want collision avoidance for multiple angles, you will have to get creative. The motors sit rather low, so you cannot drive across anything other than nicely paved surfaces. There are no screws attaching the wheels, so they will tend to fall off after lots of turns.My son used this for a mobile sonar platform. It was an adequate choice. But he would have been better of with something round using step motors. Then he could have had sonars in all directions and rotated the vehicle rather than rotating a sonar on-top. His collision avoidance would have worked at all angles, and he could have precisely programmed the movements of the vehicle. Instead he went with timed operations, which means the best he could do for a 90 degree turn is +/- 10 degrees. He can still add a gyroscope to compensate, but it is a much more complicated design.I am still giving this 5 stars, because for the price it seems like a good deal.

I bought the 2 WD for a small Bluetooth car using arduino uno r3. The instructions weren’t the best but they included pictures.putting it together was simple and self explanatory it was a fun project. (Please don’t judge my wiring I didn’t have any male to female jumper cables)

In theory this little fella is the most bang for your buck. Chasis, 2 motors with encoders, battery box, and beefy wheels look great online but in person lacks punch I expected. Adding to that, the chasis was partially cracked (super glued), one of the motor mounts snapped when installing (super glue, again), instructions were translated horribly, came with way too many extra screws which made using quantities to make heads or tails of which screw and nut went where, and a holes not lining up here and there makes me regret this purchase. Would send back if shipping wouldn't cost half the purchase price.
