How much weight can these two mobile platforms handle?

Hey,

I’m currently trying to decide between these two mobile platforms. How much weight can you stack on top of them and still expect “reasonable” movement speed. Rough estimates are welcome!

Thanks in advance.

The payload capacity for either platform depends on quite a few factors. We suggest inputting the values into the Drive Motor Sizing Tool

The motor used should be:

This has a maximum output torque of 0.8Kg-cm
The wheels are 65mm diameter.

You’re looking at around 0.5Kg additional payload for the 2WD, and a bit more for the 4WD (around 0.8Kg).
Once again, these are estimates.
