(Please refer to the downloaded tutorial to buy battery.) Overview: This is a programmable car kit, which has multiple functions. Whether you want to experience the joy of robots or learn to program, this is a good choice. We provide free technical support to help you with any questions and problems. Compatible Models: * Recommended: Raspberry Pi 5 / 4B / 3B+ / 3B / 3A+ * Also compatible but needs extra parts (refer to tutorial for details): Raspberry Pi 2B / 1B+ / 1A+ / Zero 2 W / Zero W / Zero 1.3 (Note: Raspberry Pi is NOT included in this kit.) Tutorial and Code: Comes with detailed tutorial and complete code (Python). (Download needed, no paper tutorial.) The download link can be found on the product box. Remote Control: You can use the following devices to control this car: * Computer: Laptop or desktop. (Run Windows, macOS or Raspberry Pi OS.) (Refer to tutorial for details.) * Android device: Android phone or tablet. (Run Android 5.0 or later, installed Freenove App.) (Search Freenove on Google Play.) * iPhone: (Run iOS 10 or later, installed Freenove App.) (Search Freenove on App Store.) Needed but Not Included: 2 x Battery (Please refer to the downloaded tutorial to buy.) 1 x Charger for battery 1 x Raspberry Pi board and its necessary accessories Review: Nice to play and plenty of opportunities to grow and learn to program! - The remote Android app works out of the box and makes this a full-featured remote controllable car to a fair price but actually much more: With all the options, it is a platform that stimulates learning of programming and to develop own projects. My child liked the easy start (to play with the car and the colorful LEDs) and is curious to learn more about programming. I'm sure he will be doing some projects with it as he grows. Otherwise, I will for sure do some fun projects with it. Being open-source, extensions of existing code (in Python) are easily possible. Out of the box, there are several programs included, like the tracking of black lines and obstacle detection. I think these are nice demonstrations of it that show the potential and that ask to be expanded by the users. The vehicle is rather easy to manufacture as there are just 2 Servos to install, took about 1 hour to get it working. Notes: Be careful when attaching the camera head onto the car as the pieces are a bit thin and not very robust. The initial setup of the Raspberry Pi (I used the 3B model) is well described in the tutorial PDF but you should have some technology affinity or interest to learn. I would therefore not classify it as a toy that can be used out of the box but rather a development platform. You can set up the Raspberry Pi such that it automatically runs the server software upon startup. I actually use the same Raspberry Pi for multiple projects as it is not too much effort to unmount/remount it here. The only drawback of the car is that the battery needs to be removed to be charged. However, during development, you can connect the power supply of the Raspberry to reduce the need to charge it. In the robot dog, the charger is embedded which has its advantages. To sum up: I'm very pleased with the experience of this kit, its quality, and potential. The price for it feels more than fair given what you get. I hope FreeNove will continue to make more of such high-quality kits. Review: A great kit, a great learning tool and best of all – open source! - It says so in the description, but do note, you need a Raspberry Pi (I used a Pi 3) and two 18650 batteries, which are not included. I was very keen to build this and try it out, so I downloaded the code and set up my Raspberry Pi, shortly after placing my order. Fortunately, I already had a couple of 18650 batteries. So, when the kit arrived the next day, I was good to go. Assembly took about 2 hours. First point to note is that I have big fingers and some of the screws are really tiny – I needed fine tweezers for these. Second point, when assembling the pan and tilt β€˜head’, the instructions tell you to plug in the servos and run servo.py to put them in the correct position before assembly. I would recommend carrying out steps 1 to 9 of the 11 illustrated steps (page 51 at time of writing) before connecting the servos. I would also suggest connecting the cables to the camera and ultrasonic units before connecting the β€˜face’ to the β€˜neck’ as they are lot more accessible at this point. Excepting a couple of fiddly bits, the kit was straight forward to assemble, I ran all the test modules and everything worked first time, except it went backwards instead of forwards – but the instructions covered correcting this. It does everything shown in the Freenove video and can also be controlled directly by a phone app (android in my case). I was impressed by the quality of the build and also that all the code is open source. At the price, having a kit you can control from your phone, pretty much out of the box, is already good value, but the potential for writing your own code is even more appealing and I would imagine would be a great incentive for novice coders. I hope a community will develop where people can share their code and ideas. I also think the kit is ideal for further development – a robot arm would be a cool addition, perhaps Freenove may develop expansion kits in the future. In summary, a great kit, a great learning tool and best of all – open source! ## Features - Multiple Functions: This car has four drive wheels, the rotatable head has a camera and an ultrasonic distance sensor (Assembly required) (Raspberry Pi and Battery NOT included) - Detailed Tutorial: Provides step-by-step assembly guide and complete Python code (The download link can be found on the product box) (No paper tutorial) - Compatible Models: Raspberry Pi 5 / 4B / 3B+ / 3B / 3A+ (2B / 1B+ / 1A+ / Zero 2 W / Zero W / Zero 1.3 is also compatible but needs extra parts) (NOT included in this kit) - Control Methods: Controlled wirelessly by your Android phone or tablet, iPhone (with Freenove App) and computer (run Windows, macOS or Raspberry Pi OS) - Battery NOT Included: Please refer to the downloaded tutorial to buy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07YD2LT9D | | Best Sellers Rank | 19,418 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 29 in Single-Board Computer Kits | | Box Contents | 1 x 4WD Smart Car Board for Raspberry Pi, 1 set Machinery Parts (9 kinds), 2 x Servo Package, 4 x Driven Wheel, 4 x DC Speed Reduction Motor, 4 x Motor Bracket Package, 1 set Acrylic Parts for Pan Tilt, 1 x Line Tracking Module, 1 x Camera, 1 x Ultrasonic Module, 1 x Connection Board, 1 x Jumper Wire F/F(4), 1 x XH-2.54-5Pin Cable, 1 x Cross Screwdriver (3mm), 1 x Black Tape, 1 x Cable Tidy (25cm) | | Brand | FREENOVE | | Brand Name | FREENOVE | | CPU Model | None | | CPU model | None | | Compatible Devices | Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 3B, 3A+, 2B, B+, A+, Zero 1.3, W | | Connectivity technology | Ethernet, USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 636 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | NΓ£o aplicΓ‘vel | | Included components | 1 x 4WD Smart Car Board for Raspberry Pi, 1 set Machinery Parts (9 kinds), 2 x Servo Package, 4 x Driven Wheel, 4 x DC Speed Reduction Motor, 4 x Motor Bracket Package, 1 set Acrylic Parts for Pan Tilt, 1 x Line Tracking Module, 1 x Camera, 1 x Ultrasonic Module, 1 x Connection Board, 1 x Jumper Wire F/F(4), 1 x XH-2.54-5Pin Cable, 1 x Cross Screwdriver (3mm), 1 x Black Tape, 1 x Cable Tidy (25cm) Included components 1 x 4WD Smart Car Board for Raspberry Pi, 1 set Machinery Parts (9 kinds), 2 x Servo Package, 4 x Driven Wheel, 4 x DC Speed Reduction Motor, 4 x Motor Bracket Package, 1 set Acrylic Parts for Pan Tilt, 1 x Line Tracking Module, 1 x Camera, 1 x Ultrasonic Module, 1 x Connection Board, 1 x Jumper Wire F/F(4), 1 x XH-2.54-5Pin Cable, 1 x Cross Screwdriver (3mm), 1 x Black Tape, 1 x Cable Tidy (25cm) See more | | Manufacturer | Freenove | | Manufacturer Part Number | FNK0043 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 4 MB | | Memory storage capacity | 4 MB | | Model Name | Freenove 4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi | | Model Number | FNK0043 | | Model name | Freenove 4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi | | Network Connectivity Technology | Ethernet, USB | | Operating System | Raspberry Pi OS | | Processor Brand | Broadcom | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | LPDDR4 | | Total USB Ports | 1 | | Wireless Compability | Radio Frequency | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FREENOVE - **CPU model:** None - **Connectivity technology:** Ethernet, USB - **Memory storage capacity:** 4 MB - **Model name:** Freenove 4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi ## Images ![4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ Zero 2 W, Face Tracking, Line Tracking, Light Tracing, Obstacle Avoidance, App Control, Camera, Servo (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71037u7h2PL.jpg) ![4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ Zero 2 W, Face Tracking, Line Tracking, Light Tracing, Obstacle Avoidance, App Control, Camera, Servo (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vFBrOKNOL.jpg) ![4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ Zero 2 W, Face Tracking, Line Tracking, Light Tracing, Obstacle Avoidance, App Control, Camera, Servo (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XcG6HG+1L.jpg) ![4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ Zero 2 W, Face Tracking, Line Tracking, Light Tracing, Obstacle Avoidance, App Control, Camera, Servo (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71beGB4yZ2L.jpg) ![4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ Zero 2 W, Face Tracking, Line Tracking, Light Tracing, Obstacle Avoidance, App Control, Camera, Servo (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710DxTNgJ1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where can i download detailed tutorial (pdf) with 110 pages and complete code (python) from?** A: Hi!

Programming set up is clear and car performs well. Programming is by using Python 2.7 I had a raspberry pi4 and did not realise 2.7 is actually included but needed activating.(support informed me Python 3 programs are being developed). The main control program does not work with remote desktop so need to use VCN. My car had commands round the wrong way but programs are clear and it was easy to amend. I had to contact support and received prompt reply. All in all a good starting model for learning robotics. ## Frequently Bought Together - Freenove 4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ Zero 2 W, Face Tracking, Line Tracking, Light Tracing, Obstacle Avoidance, App Control, Camera, Servo (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) - Freenove Ultimate Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ 400 Zero 2 W, 962-Page Detailed Tutorial, Python C Java Scratch Processing Code, 223 Items, 128 Projects (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/166100851-4wd-smart-car-kit-for-raspberry-pi-5-4-b](https://www.desertcart.be/products/166100851-4wd-smart-car-kit-for-raspberry-pi-5-4-b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
