Overview
About EasyMech 152mm Mecanum Wheel Smart Car Robot Chassis (Shock Absorber, Heavy Duty).
The EasyMech 152mm Mecanum Wheel Smart Car Robot Chassis is a heavy-duty omni-directional platform built for serious robotics, capable of carrying loads up to around 100 kg. It combines four 152mm aluminium mecanum wheels with four Orange 12V 256RPM planetary-gear DC motors and a shock-absorbing chassis, so a robot can move forward, backward, sideways and diagonally while staying stable under load.
Mecanum wheels use angled rollers to achieve full omni-directional movement without steering, and the aluminium wheels here use bearing-type rollers for smooth, durable motion. The high-torque planetary motors (95.5 N-cm each) and shock absorbers make this chassis suited to large, weighty robots rather than lightweight toys.
For Indian robotics teams, industrial-automation prototypers and college competition builds, this EasyMech chassis is a professional-grade rolling base. It ships with the motors, wheels, couplings, bearing housings and wiring, so you add your own controller, motor drivers and battery to complete a powerful omni-directional robot.

Buying guide
How to choose.
Buy this EasyMech chassis if you need a rugged, high-payload omni-directional base for a serious robot rather than a light hobby car. It suits competition teams, industrial-automation prototypers, research groups and advanced makers building heavy platforms.
When choosing, remember it is a rolling base, not a complete robot: you supply the controller (such as an Arduino Mega, ESP32 or Raspberry Pi), suitable motor drivers rated for the 12V planetary motors, and a 12V battery. Match the driver current to the motors' stall demand.
Pair it with four high-current motor drivers (or dual-channel drivers), a 12V battery pack of adequate capacity, and a controller running mecanum-drive kinematics. Add encoders if you need closed-loop odometry for autonomous navigation.
FAQ
Common questions.
How much weight can this chassis carry?
It is a heavy-duty platform rated to carry loads up to around 100 kg, which is why it uses 12V planetary-gear motors and a shock-absorbing frame rather than light BO motors.
Which motors are included?
It comes with four Orange 12V 256RPM planetary-gear DC motors, each rated about 95.5 N-cm of torque, one per mecanum wheel.
Is a controller or battery included?
No. The kit is the mechanical chassis with motors, wheels, couplings, bearing housings and wiring. You add your own controller, motor drivers and 12V battery.
Can it really move sideways?
Yes. The four 152mm mecanum wheels use angled rollers, so by spinning wheels in the right combination the robot strafes sideways, moves diagonally and rotates in place without steering.
What motor driver should I use?
Use drivers rated for 12V and enough current for the planetary motors' stall draw, such as high-current H-bridge or BTS7960-class drivers, one channel per motor.
Is it available in India?
Yes. EasyMech is an Indian brand and this chassis is stocked by Indian robotics retailers such as Robu.in and Aryabot, typically with a manufacturing-defect warranty.
