Well, that's it, I'm gonna RC my push mower, lol! Tigger, RC lawn mowers are pretty neat. Would be a fun build! If I didn't have a lawn tractor I enjoyed riding I would consider it! There plenty of write-up and such for them online! An automated one would be even better. Map out a grid for it with obstacle detection.

The RC JEEP has been up and running for a couple of weeks now. Everything works really. I have been having fun making people do double takes with no driver in it. Especially at night. Still need to wire in the front park/turns and rear stop/tail/turns but the headlamps are in. Here are some crummy cell phone camera output pictures. DRL: Cutoff: Width: It also has auto headlamps based on ambient light to sitch between DRL and low beam. None of the throw pictures came out but these LED DRL/Fog fit the bill for this project nicely.

Haha, that's slick! I have an old Infinity BassLink that I need to do something with before Mrs. Tigger tossed it out... Got it for 5 bucks at a yard sale because "it don't work", lol, right...

Throw it in the trunk! I have a few projects going on at once PW wise. Here is another upgrade for the orange jeep: Dual ESC (variable Throttle). One controller for each motor. Banebot motors are 700 series and have way more torque than PW motors. The #7/21T are the gearboxes. Upgraded from 19T to 21T to keep the top end speed. As the the banebot motors have slightly less RPM than PW motors. The ESC bypass will kick in automatically at full throttle to provide more power in high current situations to prevent stalling. Coast feature: if the shifter is not in park/neutral or brakes applied it will do a slow roll like a real vehicle. Quick enough to force use of brakes or place shifter in park to come to complete stop but not fast enough to cause a wreck if driver becomes absent minded. These are my last modifications I promise haha

You know I love the orange one, lol! Really cool, man. Your son has to be the MAC DADDY of the block, haha. Might throw it in the Jimmy, only 200w. Running a 600/1 with a 12" and a 200/4 for the cabin speakers in the 'rora, kinda copied your old setup, appearance wise that is. Beauty panels are a witch!
