Welcome to the companion page for my book “Robot Cars with the ESP32”! Choosing the right chassis is the first exciting step on the way to your own working robot car. A good chassis is like a solid foundation for a house – it gives your project stability and the necessary flexibility for all the creative ideas you want to implement.
To make it easier for you to get started, I have put together a selection of chassis types here that are excellently suited for the projects in the book. Whether you are looking for a complete beginner’s kit or prefer to combine individual parts – here you will find the right basis for your adventure in robotics.
Ready to run buy Chassis Overview:
These two chassis are my personal favorites for getting started and form the basis for many projects in the book. I have tested them extensively and can recommend them without reservation.
- Easy Assembly: The assembly is straightforward and easy for beginners to manage.
- Robust and Reliable: They are durable and can forgive a small crash during the first test drives.
- Flexibly Expandable: There is enough space for the ESP32, sensors, batteries, and everything else you need for your experiments.
With these models, you are guaranteed to make no mistake and will have a reliable platform that grows with your skills.
Besides the classics I have tested, there are of course many other great chassis on the market. The models from Yahboom are popular in the maker community and known for their good quality and well-thought-out designs.
Important Note: I have not yet personally tested these specific Yahboom models for the book. However, due to the many positive reviews from the community and their professional presentation, I want to introduce them to you as promising alternatives.
They are often available in complete sets, which further simplifies getting started. If you decide on a Yahboom chassis, you will be entering new territory compared to the book’s examples, but that’s what makes tinkering so exciting, isn’t it?
I wish you a lot of fun and success in building your robot car! The most important thing is to stay curious and enjoy experimenting.
