Ultralight Antweight Chassis
Looking for a perfect solution for a rugged, low-profile and light-weight Antweight (1 pound) robot chassis? You've just found what you need.

These Antweight Chassis are just what you need to incorporate all the components into one compact, one-piece chassis, with integrated motor supports, wheel guards, and large center bay for your electronics. A full 4 wheel drive mobility base can built for only a few ounces.

These Chassis were designed for use with the Sanyo NA-series gearmotors, usually in 4WD configuration.The new Treaded Drive Base Kit is used to make your own treaded robot powered by four motors. This new base design incorperates the new motor mount design which uses a wide screw head to securely mount the motor. Read more about the drive base here.

Drive Base includes:
5/8" billet machined aluminum body
Four 100:1 extra long shaft gear motors
4 direct mount wheels and treads
1 acrylic laser cut lid kit with screws (not shown)
Motor mount screws

Ultra-Light Wheels
If you need more options than treads can offer, we offer a selection of wheels that will fit with the Treaded Drive Base Kit. These are some great, grippy and very light wheels (only about 2 grams each!). Choose from several different styles. You get a set of four (4) wheels, which will press right onto the Sanyo motor output shaft. Read more about these wheels here.
50:1 Micro Geared Motors x4
