I successfully made the buggy from the raspberry pi website: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/build-a-buggy and I am happy with it because it works and everything.

BUT the chassis is made out of... well it looks like particle board, probably with asbestos, whatever material it is I do not to like it.

Does anyone know of a set (like erector sets but not that exact set) that I can build a chassis out of that is made out of a better material?

    your question has nothing to do with Raspberry Pi .... why are you asking it here? – jsotola Jun 15 '19 at 17:14
  • It won't contain asbestos if made in the UK. Asbestos is completely banned here. – Dougie Jun 15 '19 at 18:23
  • Well, the Rpi buggy project tutorial says the following: "... but in this project, a cardboard box is used as a temporary solution, ...". The cardboard box looks ugly and damages the reputation of projects.raspberrypi.org. Perhaps you can google a deluxe model to replace the ugly thing. – tlfong01 Jun 16 '19 at 01:12
  • @jsotola it is the pi buggy which is a pi project, but you are right, this question would be better on the pi forums. Oops, my asking in the wrong place was unintentional. – thecanmanisback2 Jun 16 '19 at 02:06
  • @dougie the chassis was made in China... but that is good to know that it is banned in the uk – thecanmanisback2 Jun 16 '19 at 02:07
  • @tlfong01 yeah I googled deluxe pi buggy and found this: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/1?lsf=seller:16705561,store:16774769696904428477&prds=pid:9436221797738061389,oid:5947123553296426556&q=raspberry+pi+deluxe+chassis&hl=en&ei=QqMFXafRB6Hr5gL9qJeQCw&lsft=gclid:EAIaIQobChMI8p2Gs_Ts4gIVD7bICh27NgvnEAQYBCABEgJrzvD_BwE which I'll buy, thanks for the tip! – thecanmanisback2 Jun 16 '19 at 02:07
  • @thecanmanisback2, but I forgot to check out if you have already read the GpioZero soruce code a couple of times, and have already successfully moved your 4WD (yes, not 2WD) a perfect square. Otherwise your buggy only deserves an ordinary cheapy plastic chassis, not a proud Erector class metallic titanium bullet proof model - https://www.aliexpress.com/popular/robot-chassis-kit.html – tlfong01 Jun 16 '19 at 02:57

  • @thecanmanisback2, your might like to look at my 4WD chassis! :) (1) https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/99460/motor-wont-stop/99465#99465 (2) https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=234304#p1440566 – tlfong01 Jun 22 '19 at 03:21
