Came with 9V rated motors instead of 12V
I was expecting 12V motors like the description suggests, but got 9V instead.

Great Kit
I'm not really sure why this gets bad reviews. The quality is good, mine came with additional fixings which I assume are to aid mounting components to the base etc which was a nice bonus, and included the correct size allen keys for assembly.The tracks are very loose out the box but you can remove the pins that hold them together easily, twice as many 'links' as required and got them back together.

You pay for what you get
The platform is cheap and works alright with some modifications.The non driven wheels aren't fixed properly and require additional fixtures and supports to ensure they don't come loose and the axels wobble. The tracks can be shortened to keep them relatively tight but lack tensioners so any slack will cause the platform to veer off. Most of these issues I was able to rectify with 3d printed sprockets and axel mounts.The motors are quite powerful and the actual chassis is really quite good, I have built up a fairly large ROS robot on this and there is no strain on the motors.
