Finally got some time to advance this project. Lawn mover is mounted and height adjustment functioning:

I am short on #25 chain, need to get it ordered.

 

[agniusm]

So i dug up this project. Last time motors with chain drive did not work, too fast, i put it aside until i get wheelchair motors. Lucky enough i got the whole wheelchair for thank you.
Was easy enough swap, bigger wheels as someone earlier sugested and needed only one tube patched.
Here it is:

Today i have tested it and the electic RC side of the project is good. Need to tune gaser thou:

Will need to get some sort of RC camera

 

[The fingers]

Add a conventional walk-behind mower handle bar and conceal the operator for some candid camera fun in town. :lol:

 

[agniusm]

Have build new battery for mover. A123 8S1P:

 

[dmwahl]

Nice terminals, they should handle a few amps...

 

[agniusm]

Done new box for battery and electronics. Good heatsink fot the controller:

Make it smart like those automatic lawnmowers. ie Turn it on and only cursory supervise it.

Program it to chase dogs. THAT would be funny.

Program it to chase dogs. THAT would be funny.

Or rabbits, they're breeding like crazy right now around here.

 

[agniusm]

We don't have rabbits here. Dogs are on the leash but cats, cast give me headache. Need to figure out how to implement chop chop blade at the front

 

[agniusm]

Almost there. Got the damn thing sandblasted and powder coated. Its shiny and brand new. Got new front tyres too:

Fitted FPV cam:

New rc controller:

I have also ordered bit more powerful iA10 transmitter and voltage unit with thermo sensor so i could monitor those on the controller.
The controller lets to set me top speed, channel reverse, accl. ramp on the fly, very happy about that.

 

[Drunkskunk]

Dude, that's awesome!

I would totally have to put on the handle, and strap an "Inflate-O-Mate" love doll's hands to the bar.

 

[agniusm]

Thanks. i have a spare hole to attache fake handle and a blowup doll. this just might be such a fun to cut some grass in public park haha
