The RoboRacer Core Kit removes the setup friction that slows down autonomous-vehicle work. Instead of spending weeks sourcing parts, debugging hardware, and resolving integration issues, teams receive a fully assembled, pre-tested autonomy system for 1:10-scale robotic vehicles, with sensors, compute, and software integrated and validated. This gives academic programmes and research labs a predictable, standardised platform, faster deployment into classrooms and labs, and reduced dependence on specialised hardware-integration expertise.
RoboRacer is the current name for this 1:10-scale autonomous-racing platform family; teams familiar with F1TENTH-class vehicles will recognise the same class of platform under the RoboRacer name.
RoboRacer Core Kit Pro (with Software Setup / Technical Support): Software Setup / Technical Support from Ambimat is included with this listing.
What is included in the RoboRacer Core Kit Pro?
- Jetson Orin Nano Super — onboard compute
- VESC 6 MkIV — motor control, steering, wheel odometry and IMU
- MDF base plate — laser-cut equipment deck
- Hokuyo LiDAR — 270° planar laser scan
- Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis — 1:10-scale platform
- Power Distribution Unit — Ambimat AE170 board (regulated 19 V, 12 V and 5 V rails)
- 3S battery — included for India orders only
- Battery charger — included for India orders only
International configuration: The 3S battery and battery charger cannot be exported with the kit; international customers source battery and charger locally. That exclusion is not a price discount. The Traxxas chassis may be supplied with the kit or sourced locally. If the chassis is sourced locally, an optional discount of approximately US$464 applies (indicative resulting price approximately US$5,636 before shipping). The discount is approximate; the final quotation controls. International quotations are supplied on FOB terms — destination customs clearance, import duties, local taxes and related destination charges remain the buyer’s responsibility.
For orders in India, please refer to the India pricing and ordering information on the RoboRacer site or contact Ambimat for the applicable INR + GST quotation. This USD checkout is the international storefront.

Frequently asked questions
What is the RoboRacer Core Kit?
It is a fully assembled, pre-tested autonomy system for 1:10-scale robotic vehicles, with sensors, compute, and the Ambimat AE170 power distribution board integrated and validated on a Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis.
Who is the Core Kit for?
Academic programmes, research labs, and teams working on autonomous 1:10-scale vehicles who want a standardised, ready-to-use platform instead of sourcing and integrating hardware themselves.
What does the kit include?
Major parts: Jetson Orin Nano Super, VESC 6 MkIV, MDF base plate (singular — no spare plate), Hokuyo LiDAR, Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis, and Ambimat AE170 Power Distribution Unit. For India orders, a 3S battery and battery charger are also included. For international orders, battery and charger cannot be exported and must be sourced locally.
Is the kit assembled and tested before shipping?
Yes. Every item arrives mounted, wired and tested together as one vehicle — not as a box of components to integrate.
What problem does the Core Kit solve?
It removes the weeks often lost to sourcing parts, debugging hardware, and resolving integration issues, so teams can focus on algorithms, performance, and research or coursework outcomes.
Is "RoboRacer" related to F1TENTH?
RoboRacer is the current name for this class of 1:10-scale autonomous-racing platform. Teams familiar with F1TENTH-class vehicles will recognise the same class of platform under the RoboRacer name.
Does the Core Kit include the RoboRacer Power Board?
The kit includes the Ambimat AE170 Power Distribution Unit (regulated 19 V, 12 V and 5 V rails). Standalone RoboRacer Power Board listings on this store are for customers who need Ambimat power boards separately; contact Ambimat if you need a like-for-like part match before ordering.
What scale of vehicle is the kit designed for?
1:10-scale robotic / autonomous vehicles.
How is the kit supplied?
As a single-quantity kit (one complete kit per unit).
Are the chassis, battery, and charger included?
The Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis may be supplied with the kit or sourced locally. If the chassis is sourced locally, an optional discount of approximately US$464 applies (indicative resulting price approximately US$5,636 before shipping; the final quotation controls). For India, the 3S battery and battery charger are included. For international shipments, battery and charger cannot be exported and must be sourced locally — that exclusion is not the US$464 chassis discount.
