I didn't know u were in a wheelchair, I'm also permanently in a wheelchair from a muscle disease that i have. I too am trying to figure a brushless wheelchair.

Unfortunately, I'm in this club too. It sucks!!

I'm in the process of buying my 2 year old son's first wheelchair. I had no idea they cost this much. I might actually have to sell a bunch of my R/C collection to pay for it. I, too, have thought about making it brushless eventually.

So, paralyzed, if you don't mind me asking, how do you go about controlling and building your R/C stuff as a quadriplegic? I thought that quadriplegic meant you have no control of your arms and legs. Were you able to figure out another way to do it somehow? I'm really interested, but don't feel like you need to answer if it's too personal.

Thanks.

alot of people think that. The body is divided into four quadrants splitting at the waist and down the middle of the body. I have no control from my nipples down, so the upper quadrants have been affected, making me a quadriplegic. a para is waist down. I'm very fortunate to have good use of my arms and hands. I was paralyzed neck down for 3 months after my accident. I've had to relearn how to use my arms, and I can't feel them. I can feel hot and cold, but not touch, it's weird. I can't eat chips froma bag because I can't see them or feel them . As long as I pour them out and can see them I'm fine.

It's very cool that you were able to learn to re-use your arms. You appear to be in good spirits too. You are a good example to many.

My son will probably never have control over his body, but his condition is a brain malformation. Fortunately for him, he's never known any different so he's the happiest kid you'll ever hope to meet, regardless of whatever typical things he can't do.

I'm pretty fond of him.

I'm a para and have no sensation or movement from my nipples down (except for spasms I can't control).
