|  Electric Lawn mower
Hi guys, I'm starting a school project, and I'm planning on converting an old (really old) Webb lawn mower to electric. I was thinking I could take the gas motor off, mount a 5th scale motor and Esc on it with a huge Gens ace battery. I was wondering if this motor and Esc would have enough power to power the lawnmower to go fast enough to cut the grass, and yet I don't have to wind it up so much that I fry the motor and ESC. Do you guys think it will work? And I was also wondering, how can I control the esc without a remote. Will I have to make a circuit or is there a product, or what? |

Check some of these out. I'm willing to bet the motors are way bigger than you are expecting http://m.acehardware.com//family/ind...goryId=1341452 |

Why not just use a relay? Get yourself an old golf cart motor or otherwise - run it on 24v with a relay. Cheap and powerful.  |
