- Quote and account options for campus projects and procurement teams, with VAT invoices and documentation.
Common chassis types and when to pick them
Whether you need a classroom-friendly kit or a durable platform for a research prototype, choose by payload, terrain and maneuverability. Below is a compact spec table to compare typical options stocked locally:
| Chassis Type | Best for | Typical Load | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2WD Wheeled | Basic navigation, line following | up to 3 kg | Simple, low-cost, pairs well with Arduino/Raspberry Pi |
| 4WD Wheeled | Higher payload, rough indoor floors | 3-10 kg | Better traction; consider motor torque |
| Tracked | Uneven terrain, outdoor demos | 5-20 kg | Higher ground contact, more complex drive |
| Omni/Mecanum | Holonomic motion, demos | up to 5 kg | Requires precise motor control and encoders |
Specification callouts to include in your quote
When requesting a quote, include: chassis dimensions, wheelbase, payload, motor type (voltage, rpm, stall torque), gearbox ratio, battery voltage, and mounting hole patterns. Communica staff can match compatible motors and motor drivers to the chassis - see our product categories for parts and brands.
Explore chassis and accessories in our Collections to plan your build: Shop by Category.
Compatibility guidance and accessory bundles
A chassis quote often needs matching motors, motor drivers, wheels, batteries and mounting hardware. We recommend requesting a bundled quote that lists each component with part numbers. Popular brands stocked locally include maker favourites and established component manufacturers - see our brand index for options and availability.
If you're unsure which motor matches your chassis, provide expected top speed and payload - we calculate required torque and suggest gearboxes. For hands-on comparison, Shop by Brand to see compatible motor and gearbox families.

Quotation process, lead times and branch pickup
Requesting a quote is straightforward: send chassis model or requirements, intended use, and delivery preference. Our quotations include stock status and estimated lead times - many common kits are available from our Samrand warehouse for same-day or next-day collection. Check branch availability and trading hours for collection: Branches & Trading Hours.
Sample wiring diagram and quick assembly notes
For a simple 2WD chassis powered by two DC motors and controlled by a motor driver and microcontroller, a basic wiring ASCII diagram helps visualise connections:
Microcontroller --- PWM/Direction --- Motor Driver --- Motor A
| Motor B
+--- Power (Battery +, -)Remember to size your battery for required voltage and current; provide battery voltage in the quote so we can recommend compatible motor drivers and fuses. Use fuses or polyfuses rated for expected stall current to protect drivers and wiring.
Handling objections - procurement and project timelines
Concerned about lead times or compatibility? Our quotes detail stock status and substitute options when a specific SKU is low. For education and tertiary projects we provide consolidated VAT invoices and can flag items for campus procurement workflows. If you need a formal quote for tendering or departmental approval, request a quote and include your purchase order or project code - we'll include all required documentation.
