LOL, that's pretty cool. There's more than one way to mow the lawn huh?

Thanks for posting. That's a really nice Revo you have there too. :yes:

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?

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.
