This is an anodized aluminum servo horn for the FEETECH Ultra-High-Torque, High-Voltage Digital Giant Servo FT5335M. The FT5335M ships with a set of plastic horns, but metal is the way to go if you want to get the most torque out of this 1/4-scale servo.

This track set includes a pair of 30-tooth silicone tracks, two white drive sprockets measuring 35 mm (1.4″) in diameter, and two matching idler sprockets along with mounting hardware. To work properly with the track, the drive and idler sprockets should be set up approximately 85 mm (3.35″) apart. The drive sprockets are designed to work with 3mm D-shafts, such as those on our micro metal gearmotors and mini plastic gearmotors. These are the same sprockets we use on the Zumo chassis and robots, just in a different color and with a longer track.

These hexagonal male-female aluminum standoffs are intended specifically for use with the Raspberry Pi. They keep parts spaced 11 mm apart, which is just the right height for mounting expansion boards with standard-size female headers, and they have 4mm-long M2.5 threads that are just the right size for the Raspberry Pi’s mounting holes. These standoffs are sold in packs of 4.

The S9V11F5 switching step-up/step-down regulator efficiently produces 5 V from input voltages between 2 V and 16 V. (Note: it requires an input voltage of at least 3 V to start, but it can operate down to 2 V after startup.) Its ability to convert both higher and lower input voltages makes it useful for applications where the power supply voltage can vary greatly, as with batteries that start above but discharge below 5 V. The very compact (0.3″ × 0.45″) module has a typical efficiency of over 90% and can supply a typical output current of up to 1.5 A when the input voltage is around 5 V.
