T'Rex Tank Chassis

T'Rex Tank Chassis

Discontinued

The T'Rex Tank Chassis is a full-metal, all-terrain robot platform designed for demanding driving conditions. Equipped with two independently driven 12V DC gearmotors and die-cast zinc tank treads, it provides excellent traction and durability right out of the box while offering plenty of room for expansion.

The anodised aluminium body houses ample space for motor controllers, batteries, sensors, and other electronics. Two top panels remove via quick-release spring catches, and a front hinged cover plate can be swapped for a custom mounting plate. The die-cast zinc gears, tracks, suspension struts, and wheels resist corrosion for low-maintenance operation.
