Thank you!
Yeah, mowing the lawn has never been such fun |
I've also been pondering the RC lawnmower idea Dafni.
In the form of a mower deck that sticks out in front. Built out of 1/8" aluminum plate, powered by twin AXI 4130/20 outrunner motors, it will use 4S lipo along with a pair of airplane ESC's. The batteries that power the mower deck will hang over the rear to act as a counterbalance. I was first thinking about using a pair of carbon tipped 7 1/4" circular saw blades, but then began to imagine bad things happening. LOL Instead of saw blades, how about we use a pair of these? http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...eedbutcher.jpg |
Saw blades would be mean indeed :lol:
That idea sounds good, I thought about something like that as well. I ended up with the towing of this old mower thing because of the simplicity and all... I just un-hook the thing and the truck is back to "stock". Change the gearing and it's a pretty decent basher. Only thing I see with a mower tool up front would be hitting objects. Towing behind is easy, just hard to get the corners. Hey, that would be a cool "bash" session :lol: everybody bring their garden RCs and go through the neighborhood, doing the work :rofl: |
Hitting objects? I've thought about that too. So, on each side of the mower deck, a guide wheel shall be mounted in such a way, it will hold the rotating blades at, oh let's say, 1/2" distance on the sides.
Built like this, the only way you're going to hit something is head on. You could actually oversteer a little, and still do a beautiful job trimming along edges. Ran without a body on the truck, this can be built to pin in place on the body posts. Easily removeable. |
