4WD ATR RC Kit with 32mm motors

This is our 2nd generation RC ATR kit. The only difference between this kit and the Base ATR kit are the options for RC controllers and RC interface options. It is an extremely rugged well built robot. The wheels are axle mounted and are supported using sealed ball bearings. The motors allow this robot to climb walls. The base is made of aluminum that is easy to drill mounting holes for your electronics. The kit provides you with what you need to make a great All-Terrain robot.

This is a rugged frame made of 1/8" thick aluminum to accept our IG32 and IG32P gear motors. This is our 2nd generation ATR frame and wheel housing. We took our previous design that had separate motor housings that mounted to a base and made it all one piece. We also stretched it slightly, adding the ability to make it 6WD. The aluminum frame is fully gusseted adding greater rigidity. The aluminum is all laser cut for an exact fit-up and then hand welded and polished. Later if you want to make this robot 6WD, just add the middle set of wheels and motors. See our ATR page for more details.

The base is 12.25" wide x 17.25" long. The sides are 2.125" high (bottom edge to top surface). Note, these dimensions do not include weld filler, which adds a little to the overall dimensions. As configured it has a ground clearance of about 2 5/16". The width with the wheels is about 21" and the length is about 21.5". The overall height is just the wheel diameter of 6.75".

There are a lot of options and additions you can select, the links of all the items are included below. Follow the links for details of each item and option.

For full details and descriptions of the ATR and all the items, see our ATR Robot Building Page . Additionally, you can see our general ATR page for videos of the ATR robot in action.

When you purchase this kit you will get access to our assembly manual that contains color images and step by step instructions, or you can opt for us to assemble it for you.

Motor Options:

This kit is designed for IG32 gear motors. We recommend the IG32P 190RPM motor for a good balance of speed and power.
IG32 24VDC 067 RPM Gear Motor - TD-014-067 (qty 4)
IG32 24VDC 195 RPM Gear Motor - TD-014-195 (qty 4)
IG32P 24VDC 190 RPM Gear Motor - TD-015-190 (qty 4)
IG32P 24VDC 265 RPM Gear Motor - TD-015-265 (qty 4)

Battery Options:

For the motor batteries, you can choice either of these 24V batteries.
24V 1500 mAHr NiMH Battery Pack - TE-022-020 (Qty 1)
24V 4000 mAHr NiMH Battery Pack - TE-023-020 (Qty 1)

RC Controller:

For the RC Controllers, you can choice any of these controllers. You need 2 channels to control the robot drive functions. Our Aggressor Pistol radios offer a great way of controlling your robot. If you want to control lights or other functions, you should get a higher channel radio. If you plan on adding camera pan and tilt or other options you should get at least a 4 channel controller. Our digital QPCM (Quick Pulse Controlled Modulation systems offer better stability around noisy motors and feature fail safe modes for when the receiver is out of range.
HiTec Aggressor 2-Ch AM 75MHz - TE-075-000
HiTec Aggressor 3-Ch FM 75MHz - TE-076-000
HiTec Aggressor CRX 75MHz 3 FM w/ DCS Rx - TE-077-000
HiTec Eclipse 7 Channel RC QPCM Tx and Rx - TE-068-007
HiTec Laser 4 Channel 75MHz RC Controller Pkg - TE-033-004
HiTec Laser 6 Channel 75MHz RC Controller Pkg - TE-033-006
HiTec Optic 6 Transmitter package and QPCM Rx - TE-059-006
We also carry the Spektrum Radios which we have had outstanding results with. We sell the Spektrum systems with the fail safe BR6000 Bot Receiver. With the spread Spektrum frequency hopping DSM2� technology we get great range and reliability regardless of the other 2.4GHz systems around like routers and phones. The other benefit of 2.4GHz is most motor noise and mechanical noise/interference is well below this frequency, which often causes issues with the 72 and 75MHz radio systems.
Spektrum DX6i Transmitter with BR6000 Bot Receiver - TE-105-106

RC interface package:

The RC interface takes the RC receiver signal and drives the motors, servos, outputs, etc. See our RC support page for more details. We offer many different options for this control interface. The MD22 Devantech Dual Motor Driver and the Sabertooth Dual 10A Motor Drive are an all in one packages. It interprets the RC signal and has a 2 channel motor controller on board. We have also developed our own RC interface board. The RC interface offers better noise filtering and lost signal handling dramatically increasing the effective range and control over the MD22 or Sabertooth. Additionally, it drives relays so you can drive high current loads with the RC such as a motor (fwd/off/rev) and or lights (on/off)
