I really like the simplicity with which you made the lawn mower. I am looking forward to seeing an even more explicit clip made by you, so that even those who know nothing in the field have the courage to start building such a useful object, and if possible a clip in which you disassemble it and then assemble it back.
@@redbull5037 What type of motor controller do you use? And is it the radio you have configured to do the control of the two motors? I am thinking on the mix of the two for steering..
Nice job. To think i had a Murray used it for 15 years, repaired it at the level of carburetor, and taking the piston out, adjusting the valve etc. , then donated it to a guy. I went and bought a Self-propelled EGO mower. You put the Murray to a better use. 👍
I think that one is not enough rpm for alternator. Also I used Dewalt battery so it would need to charge with balanced charger. Thank you, I’be been thinking something for that pulley but…
Very nice project. Can you please help me with my issue? How can switch FS-GT3C from steering wheel mode to the skid ( differential ) steering? Thank you
Are you talking about the way the lawn mower moves left and right like a tank? if you are then that is control by the speed controller that I have for the mower as I just steer using the wheel of the remote normally. if that not what you mean then I do not know how to do that with the remote, sorry. thank you
I've been watching a lot of RC mower vids since I wanted to build one myself. I haven't seen anyone control them zero-turn style. Left stick for the left motor, right stick for the right motor. It seems to me this would be much more nimble and easier to control.
I did not really time it, but my front yard is about 30 ft x 40 ft and the 5A battery is about to slow down. I do kind of wasting the battery energy by driving it all over the place since I have a hard time to keep it go straight :) and also just to have fun.
I bought the wheels and motors on eBay, searching for wheelchair motor and wheel. There are many types, just pick the one you think it works with your setup. The controller is from Amazon, www.amazon.com/dp/B07V692RFS The Dewalt battery adapter, I printed with 3D printer, template you can find on Thingiverse.
I really like the dewalt battery set up
… easy charging
Id like to know what you made to receive the battery and wiring
Love the speed. More like a rc lawn basher :)

Thank you I am going to take it apart to paint the mower so I will try to do another clip
@@ThingToDo, Thank you very much for the answer and for the intention.

It is SmartDriveDuo Smart Dual Channel 30A Motor Driver and any RC controller
What kind of motors? Can you tell me where to buy?

You could put a belt on that pulley on the side of the engine and power the wheels with an alternator instead of a battery.
Would like to know all info for DIY remote control lawn parts I have the perfect lawn mower and it's a project for me and my son to build
Very good implementation. Are you running 2 dewalt 5AH batteries in parallel ? Is the speed controller and motor working good with 18V ?
It is running fine even too fast on one battery 20v. The parallel setup just for longer use.
Thank you
Could you run a small alternator off that side pulley to keep the battery charged ?

Look great! what size of the rear tire?
3.00-8 I think they are wheel chair tire
NICE! Which motor controller are you using
It is SmartDriveDuo Smart Dual Channel 30A Motor Driver
@@ThingToDo ok thanks
I have a build like yours that also uses dewalt 20v batts for power. I agree the knock off batteries do not have the power a real dewalt has.
Thanks
I have that battery I know it works great in my low voltage stuff like fans, band saw , lights .. and ya they cheap
Yeah they do not last long like the real one even it said 6A
The motors still have the brakes or they were removed?
They been removed when listed on eBay
@@ThingToDo Thanks for the info!
What motors you used.
I bought them on eBay. Just search for wheelchairs motor and find what fit for your application. Thank you
Would you be willing to sell drawn up plans?
Sorry, I am not sure what u mean.
I've been watching a lot of RC mower vids since I wanted to build one myself. I haven't seen anyone control them zero-turn style. Left stick for the left motor, right stick for the right motor. It seems to me this would be much more nimble and easier to control.
Thank you . I did get the idea from other TH-cam
I use a pistol grip controller for my RC mower. The speed controller I use works out the channels for steering and throttle. I love my RC mower build.
RC Mower. Check this out.
Hi, how long does the battery last?
I did not really time it, but my front yard is about 30 ft x 40 ft and the 5A battery is about to slow down.
I do kind of wasting the battery energy by driving it all over the place since I have a hard time to keep it go straight :) and also just to have fun.
Hell .can you give me the link to buy a different élement please .
