Heavy-Duty Motorized Frames

 
Price $899

Want to build a mobile robot with plenty of power?  This motorized frame features one-piece steel unit, two high-power 12V DC motors (also functions with 24V for greater speed and power). 

Also features quad drive system that can propel the unit to speeds of 15 MPH or more. Consists of 10" puncture-proof wheels, drive belts, and pulleys. Suitable for a variety of terrains, this dynamo has strength and toughness. 

The frame consists of 3/4" steel tubing with a maximum load capacity of 200 lb.   Ready to be customized with your choice of battery, electronics, and accessories (not included).  Available in two styles: KD-RFR1 and KD-RFR2 (shown left).

 
 
 
 
The KD-RFR2 uses high-torque DC drive systems with dual pulleys on each motor, providing maximum power to all wheels. 

Note:  The RFR frames now use 24VDC motors.  They feature adjustable motor mounts and also run at 12VDC. 

 
 
 
 
The KD-RFR2 consists of re-designed sturdy 1-piece steel frame with attractive black finish.  Included are two metal 5/8" axles.  Mounted to the frame are two high quality DC motors. 

Featuring 3/4" steel cross-section, the frame is easily drilled to suit your needs. 

Maximum frame capacity is 200 lbs. 

(Note that while the frame may support large loads, we recommend you apply no more than 1/2 the maximum load capacity to limit stress on the drive motors.)
