Wow where is your Nobel prize?? You actually made mowing look like fun! What an awesome machine!
Thanks!
Haha, thank you, but I'm not the first to build an R/C mower. However, I think mine is better designed and not ugly like most of the DIY ones on YouTube

That is a clean build you have there...:gj:
I had almost forgotten... Back in ~1985 I was
given a dare to build a Radio controlled lawn
mower to mow our RC club's field... It just
bolted to the front of a self driven Gas powered
lawn mower.
This is what I came up with at that time using
a 27Mz RC radio...

I'm sure every man trying to get their kids to mow the lawn has had this idea cross their mind, I'm just so glad someone finally put one together with some quality :beer: No more, "It's HER turn," "No it's HIS turn!" Instead, "It's MY turn," "NO it's MY TURN!"

Lol, that is so true. I'm going to try to sell this, do you think I'll have a good chance of selling it? I spent alot of time and money building it.

depends on the price but i think you could sell a few

Someone on eBay sells his for $2800, and it is nowhere near as nicely built and designed as mine, so I think I could ask $2500 for mine and still make a decent profit.
I'm worried that with winter coming no-one will want to buy it

PLEASE tell me you have a Fail-Safe and it is activated. Dont wanna swallow up the neighbor kids XD
Oh and to the winter issue. Time to invent a R/C shovel
Btw Av8torken! Whos D/C motors are those on the back. If they are Bison. Then my dad sold them to the guy who sold them to you. Or maybe even directly.

Was kind-of silly asking that question considering the attention to detail I've made, no?
Remote engine kill switch and failsafes are on my mower. :beer:
