Details

This is a set of parts which you can use in creating a “Mecanum” type vehicle, the set includes

  • 4x 58mm Mecanum wheels, 2x A and 2x B (left/right)
  • 4x typical Yellow DC hobby gear motors (3-6v)
  • Plastic base plate with holes for screw fixing
  • Clamps for screwing the motors to the plate
  • “Axel couplers” for connecting the wheels to the motors
  • Screws
Colours may vary from those pictured.

From there you can add some brains with an Arduino, batteries, sensors, whatever, none of that stuff is included, just what is listed above!

The wheels have a HEX shaped hole which measures 7mm across the points, about 6.2mm across the flats, and has a screw hole in the middle, the axel couplers adapt that to the motor’s rounded rectangle shaft.

This is undoubtably an affordable set, the cheapest I’ve seen, but the quality isn’t too bad.  I haven’t built anything with it myself but looking at the components my only real complaints are that the axel couplers make the coupling a bit on the long side which might limt the weight bearing, and the plastic base has a little more flex than I’d like, but probably once battery or arduino is attached I think that would stiffen it up.

Photo and video from supplier in China show how it’s intended to be assembled.

All of our products are shipped from Christchurch, New Zealand using CourierPost for NZ, and Airmail for international.
