Updates! The Viper now uses our new and improved Twist Hubs! It also includes a JST-to-9V Adapter cable so you can power it with a 9V battery instead of a lipoly battery (saving you the cost of battery and charger until you are ready to upgrade!). We've also updated the sticker. :)
• The Viper Combat Robot Kit is quite simply the best way to get into combat robotics. You will not find a cheaper robot kit with this functionality and expandability anywhere else.
- The Viper kit comes with everything you need to get started in competitive robotics:
- Chassis, motors, wheels, speed controllers, armor, and an easy to follow instruction manual.
- Radio and lipoly battery options are available if you need them too.
- Once you've mastered the basics, upgrade your kit to a Lifter or a Spinner with optional add-ons!
The Viper Combat Robot Kit comes with everything you need to get started in combat robotics.
- The custom-formed 6061-T6 Aluminum chassis has plenty of strength and space for additional components and upgrades.
- Two FingerTech "Silver Spark" gearmotors with 2.25" Foam Wheels provide both speed and pushing power.
- Two FingerTech "tinyESC" speed controllers translate the radio receiver commands into motor movement and provide 5V power to the radio.
- Polycarbonate combat armor keeps the components safe.
