Platform update: New RoboRacer Core Kit and Core Kit Pro systems are built exclusively on the Traxxas Slash 4X4 Brushless (P/N 68454-4). Earlier configurations based on Slash VXL / Slash Ultimate platforms are obsolete and are no longer supplied for new orders.
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 is supplied with the kit, and there is no chassis adjustment. 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 listing is the international storefront; Core Kit and Core Kit Pro purchases are completed against an Ambimat quotation.
How much does the RoboRacer Core Kit cost?
The RoboRacer Core Kit is currently priced at US$5,870, without battery and charger. It is supplied against an Ambimat quotation rather than through the online checkout: email roboracer@ambimat.com with the quantity you need and Ambimat will prepare a manual quotation together with the applicable commercial and ordering information. Shipping is charged separately from the kit price and is confirmed in the quotation. A Power Board-only order ships for US$65 through the online checkout. See the Shipping Policy for the full matrix. Please review our shipping, cancellation and no-return/no-refund policy before requesting a quote.

Frequently asked questions
What is the RoboRacer Core Kit?
It is a fully assembled and pre-tested autonomy system for 1:10-scale robotic vehicles, with sensors, compute, and the Ambimat AE170 power distribution unit integrated and tested on a Traxxas Slash 4X4 Brushless (P/N 68454-4) 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 MkVI, MDF base plate (singular — no spare plate), Hokuyo LiDAR, Traxxas Slash 4X4 Brushless (P/N 68454-4) 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 saves teams weeks of time spent sourcing parts, assembling hardware, and getting all components working together, so they 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 4X4 Brushless (P/N 68454-4) chassis is supplied with the kit, and there is no chassis adjustment. For India, the 3S battery and battery charger are included. For international shipments, battery and charger cannot be exported and must be sourced locally, and they are not included in the international price.
