Crawlers Tracked Mower project
 

Hey fellas hows it going? I havent posted on an RC Forum in a long time, im happy to be here and hope you guys enjoy the thread as well.

So this project has been ongoing for a couple yrs now, I know what the hell is taking so long??? A full time job and many many projects along the way seem to have slowed me down from time to time.

I have alot of hillside to mow and I hate mowing but really hate mowing hillside so I decided to build this mower to help turn mowing great again!!


Its not RC yet but will be soon, Im using old jazzy mobility chair motors and drive unit right now but as soon as I get a few more things dialed in I will switch it over to full RC.

I used photobucket last time I posted pics on a forum, but we all know Photobucket sucks now so if someone could give me a clue as to what the most simple way to post pics is I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance....

Welcome to RCC!

I switched over to Imgur, the process works the same as Photobucket.

I'm curious to see what you've come up with, this idea has crossed my mind before.

The plan is to have the Ego hang inside the frame with a 3 link set up and it will ride on two (one in front and one at back) wide anti scalp wheels.

HOLY COW!! You're building real one.
I thought it would be built from pile of Hodgepodge stuff just laying around.
