  • these are all test videos from early 2019. I replaced the carburetor and install higher capacity batteries since this video. I change the motor position from horizontal to vertical during the build to reduce the dimension

    I have also made rc snowblower to the same frame and many of the solutions are same than in my build. :) Really nice! Good to know that it can actually work.

    Awesome! What about a shovel lip on the bottom or brushes? Sand tosser on the top?

    Still waiting on a snow storm to really test both of them

      I used rc brush motor controller to control the dc actuator. I used still pics thats in the video to show my progress during the build

    I'm working on pretty much the exact same project!!! Same snowblower Craftsman II 23/5, Flysky Ix-6 remote although I've got Quantum motors. I gotta ask what did you use to engage the auger? What motor driver/controller did you use? And would you do anything differently now??? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

      I used a 2" actuator to push lever with the pulley to tighten the belt. I used a small brush motor controller to control it.

      I used a heavy duty 20kg waterproof servo. Cheap and simple. Cheers

    What's that blue coupler thing on the axle called ? I assume that's to separate the two axle shafts ? Where do you source you're component's ?

    • @apache1120
      @apache1120  3 роки тому

      Pillow block bearing supporting the two axles. Motors from ebay, motor controller from robotshop, hardware from surplus center

    Nice job. I did one a few years back and I absolutely love it. ua-cam.com/video/4kbdapGpmnA/v-deo.html . I have a trac drive just like yours that I would love to convert. I haven't converted it yet because it seems like the chute is under sized and clogs a lot more than it should. Do you have clogging issues?

    • @apache1120
      @apache1120  2 роки тому +1

      Once in a while with slushy snow. I replaced the carb and now my working rpm is higher. I was thinking about doing the impeller mod but it already shoots the snow at a good distance and. It doesn't clog frequently

    I'm building mine right now,i used the same tracks. How have they held up?

    • @apache1120
      @apache1120  7 місяців тому

      They held up fine. Not much yet. I am currently building a bigger one.
