Hi,  
So I have a project that would require a small car (4 wheels) controlled by a raspberry pi, as I am not so good with electronics, I am confused should I buy a motor drive or a motor controller? And which motor to buy?  
It will be a small car, the chassis, a breadboard and the raspberry pi itself. So if you could recommend some products for me, I would be so grateful.

Thank you!
