My home made RC lawn mower

Thanks for sharing man, I've been wondering where you have been. I haven't seen you around since you were trying to make a water cooling vest.

Thanks for linking to that site too. I don't know why I've never looked for an online injury support forum, but I think it will help me.

And don't think we need "epic" builds here, share anything you've got. All r/c is all good!

Excellent work and excellent execution of a plan.



As a side note: I've got a pair of wheelchair motors/gearboxes up for grabs if anyone is interested in a project like this. Shipping would be a lot, but their yours if you can use them.

:lolDo the motors have hubs for wheels or just gearbox with a keyway axle sticking out? I might be able to use them on a different mower setup. any chance you could link a few pics plus make and model chair they came from?

The V-1 cooling vest is done and works ok. I underestimated flow and made the mistake of routing 1 tube front and rear so you get cool but not as well as I wanted. V-2 will be the same insulated vest but 4 leads vs 1 wich should fix all issues.

I havent run my trucks in months due to independence overload. Started work, got the house, Moved out, built RC mower, am designing a custom quad friendly PS3 XBOX360 controller with bigger buttons and analog joysticks, as well as built in sip n puff switches that can be pluged into any action button to help play all shooters with ease. among other things that suck up my time.

That's the only downside to the motors/gearboxes I have, it is a keyway setup and the wheels that are on it are never coming off. The tires on it are pretty worn, but as they are two piece wheels, the wheels can be split in half and tires changed still, just, like I said, the one part of the wheel is permanently melded to the shaft.

They were out of a pride quantum blast, they are the "HD" motors and gearboxes (good for 7.5mph @ 24 volts)

Perfectly good units, they were replaced because the medical supply store that provided the chair couldn't get the wheels off


Awesome to hear about the vest. Congrats on the home man, that is awesome. I'm glad you are keeping busy. I'm just about done with an r/c snowmobile!
