Awesome... Dagu does make a 4 wheeled version... So I assume these are the same motors then? Curious though, why are the motors in Roli's (Dagu) base rated at 7.5V... The motors from you link are 4.5V.... I assume they have a wide voltage rating?

Yes they do have a 4wd version , but it's also harder to find and if you bought a Roli kit then you already have a chassis to play with. As seen in the pic you can swap to off-road style tires as well . Just fun things you can do with your Roli.

I have a Roli kit on order so I will pick up a couple of these motors (nice find by the way)... Curious on the voltage diff... Dagu rates their Rover 5 at 7.5V motors... The ones in your link are 4.5V... Shall I assume that they have a wide voltage rating and just go ahead and order?

That's usually the case , voltage recommendations are based on the highest efficiency volts versus torque. Your best buy is to get another rover chassis because then you have spare parts for modding. You can get a chassis from ez robot or jameco has them for 59.99 and has coupons and free shipping offers all the time too. It would even be cool to glue the extra wheels to the edges of the current ones and have double tracks on each side and double the power !

I have a Dagu Wild Thumper, so now you got me thinking about 4 wheeled drive and some all terrain wheels from the wild thumper ... I might just grab a cheap Rover 5 chassis just to play with until I get Roli and the couple of EB4s I have on order...
Cheers

I'm going to grab one or maybe two soon , I thought about modding the rover so a servo can turn and adjust the height as well. So it can go from low profile to tall quickly.

If you accomplish that... You really need to show us.... I can absolutely see how useful that would be when traversing from one type of terrain to another.... Excellent idea.
