A compact 2WD robot rover chassis kit that provides the mechanical foundation for your next robotics project. The kit includes an anodised aluminium chassis, two DC motors in a micro servo form factor, wheels, and a swivel caster — everything you need for the body of a mobile robot.
Pair it with any microcontroller (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Feather, etc.) and a dual H-bridge motor driver to bring your rover to life. The motors run on 4–6 V DC and require approximately 1 A per motor, making them compatible with a wide range of driver boards.
Key Features
- Anodised Aluminium Chassis – Lightweight, sturdy two-tier design with top plate for mounting electronics
- 2WD Drive System – Two DC motors in micro servo bodies for easy mounting
- Swivel Caster – Third-point support wheel for smooth turning
- 4–6 V DC Motors – Compatible with common motor driver boards (TB6612, L298N, etc.)
- Open Platform – Use any microcontroller and motor driver combination
Ideal For
- Beginner robotics and STEM education
- Remote-control rover projects
- Autonomous navigation experiments
- Raspberry Pi or Arduino mobile robot builds
Package Contents
- 1× Anodised aluminium chassis plate
- 1× Top metal plate with mounting hardware
- 2× DC motors (micro servo form factor)
- 2× Wheels
- 1× Swivel caster wheel

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- motor driver
- An electronic circuit that lets a low-power controller switch and control a motor that needs more current than the controller pins can safely provide. Checking motor driver support matters because pumps and motors usually cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller output.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
