Hi Simon, here is the link to the Mantis 4WD and 6WD. The battery and controller depend on the setup you would like. Our Tech Team would be glad to make some recommendations based on your setup your wanting. Please feel free to contact us directly at tech@servocity.com or 620.221.0123 with your project specifics. www.servocity.com/6wd-mantis www.servocity.com/4wd-mantis
Hi Quentin, payload would depend on the number of shocks (4wd has 4, 6wd has 6), shock location (they are able to be moved) and preload setting (they’re adjustable) but even in the stiffest configuration I wouldn’t recommend over 2lbs. The spring rate of the shocks are relatively light which makes the chassis crawl well without a payload. If your intended use is to haul something you might consider swapping the shocks for a heavier duty set from a large scale RC vehicle. Feels let us know should you have any other questions tech@servocity.com
@@ServoCity I am currently building robot base prototype for my senior design class and the goal of this project is to have a robot base be able to have suspension travel while being able to have around 30 pounds of weight on top. We are pretty much using the front half of a 4WD mantis and making the back half of the prototype have no suspension travel (solid) . We have decided to use 4 shocks in the front instead of 2, but I am now learning that the shocks on this mantis are not even close to being able to hold that weight. What is the stiffest spring that you guys recommend that can work with the mantis stock shocks that can maybe get close to being able to carry that weight taking into consideration that the weight would be distributed among 4 total shocks.
I saw these in action at #scitech USA Science and Engineering Festival yesterday and they were amazing. Easily drove over all of the obstacles in the demo area.

my mouth waters as I look at those wonderful robot chassis.....damn
It would have been nice to see a video of what it can do.
Hi Christopher, we do have a video of the 6WD in action via the following link ruclips.net/video/TSAqW9H-gZw/видео.html.
Can this be used in ftc
how do you drive the mantis. what battery and things like that please give me a link to purchase these things.

What is the maxium payload that the robot can lift ?

No video of them working? No link to your website.
Can I separate the wheels and bolt an aluminum lawn chair on it?
