This is a rebuild of an RC lawnmower i built several years ago, but using an electric mower this time. It pretty much operates the same way an RC car / battlebot type vehicle does with just two opposable motors and casters for front wheels. In the future I plan to outfit the mower with FPV so that i can drive it from inside the house, and possibly do automation even further down the road. Here's a list of my hardware: - (2x) 35 A-h 12V lead acid batteries - 275-Amp battery disconnect switch https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T288VN8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Turnigy 9x 2.4 GHz transmitter / reciever (100 mW tx power, i think) - Sabertooth 2x32 dual brushed ESC (32 Amp / 33.6V max.) https://www.dimensionengineering.com/products/sabertooth2x32 - 1" x 1" x 1/16" thick square tubing, welded with 0.030" flux cored wire - (2x) 80mm 12V fans Music: Kevin MacLeod - George Street Shuffle Heatley Bros. - Dimension Drift Heatley Bros. - Sunset Beach
