like Ram,
I connected successfully a radio shack RC truck (4WS) to the handy board.

(snip)

I am still looking for cheap shaft encoders, and good DC motors drawing less
than 600mA.

I also have one of the Radio Shack RC trucks.  A good solution for shaft
encoding would be to glue a couple (or 4) magnets to the inside rim of the
rear tires.  Then glue a hall effect sensor to the axle.  When the wheel
spins, the hall effect sensor would sense the magnets.
