Ok. I used 1/2 bolts with a spacer made out of a 1/2 nut. I will use a rod later. I also use eye bolts and hose clamps. Solid as a rock. Ran into a big problem. I have 10.75x3.25 wheels and the deck is too low. Aarrgg thinking is I can find larger diameter wheels around 14 inch will work. Also been trying to find alternatives. Go cart, universal etc.,. I don't want to drag the motors in the grass or near the ground. One more thing, I used the bottom part of the handle as a equipment and roll bar. Just drill out the holes.
Hey Adam! ive found your video after many hours of research to be my inspiration for my own RC mower build personally i hope to have a mini fleet to care for the entirety of my RV park as of now out the gate im trying to keep cost down givin what you know now im curious if theres anything youd change or couldve done diferently to cut cost further take the threaded bar for example im finding them for like 80$ online after the 150$ for the motor and wheel combo found via ebay which i hope is the right one. and the cytron board sitting at $80 via amazon it does add up a bit either way thank you so much for this quality vid! also wanna ask the easy mow front end there price jumped up to with mixed reviews now any other suggestions perhaps? thanks for your binding vid and servo one you need to get back to pumping vids out bro! im 28 and just discovered this passion of mine your a teacher man id follow you in a heartbeat! i have a couple projects in development but am needing to sharpen my robotics knowledge any help is greatly appreciated!
Good video, and good RC mower, BUT there is one, but significant, difference between ROBOTIC and Radio-Controlled ;) Robotic means it controls itself autonomously, without ANY manual control at all ;) Like robotic vacuum cleaner for example ;)
What size of tires are you using? I have 10.75x3.25 and would like larger diameter size. On my build I used two eye bolts with washers and lock washer. Then treaded a metal hose clamp thru. Motors are very secure. And you can use the bottom part of the handle as a roll bar or light/equipment mounting Just drill the holes out and mount.
I'm almost ready to button mine up and take it for a spin. Have same controller and Tx. I would like to use a step down transformer for the RX and servo separate from the controller. I'm setting up a remote kill for the power/controller as well as the engine. In no shape to go chasing after it😮. Also been testing "relays" to control the power feed. I think its been solved. Started out with a for SW-3 solinoid. Big problem is heat build up from the internal coil. It draws 5amps to keep the circuit closed that's why it's getting hot. Tried on the negative side and still gets hot. So starter solinoids are out. Back to the controller power issues. Think running just the signal wire might work. Waiting for reply back from Cytron.
@@TheWaterman1000 I have a video on here where I used a servo and step down for my kill switch. Please let me know if you come up with a good dependable relay.
Update: just took the mower out today for a test. Looks like I found a relay for power is working for now. Used a 30amp fuse for testing and everything stayed pretty cool didn't get hot. I'll edit a video and upload for some feed back.
Sorry for the late response. Check ebay, that's where I found mine. Just search for used wheelchair wheels. Some have a keyed shaft with a spline and others have 5 lugs/nuts. Hope this helps.
@@AdamSmasher Didn't work for me, I just ordered the smartdrive that you used, hopefully that gives me more luck. Did you have to bind your controller before using it?
@@mrlilstrom It's been awhile but I believe I just inverted some controls and changed my mix. This was my first experience with rc controllers so I was a bit confused at first myself.
If you desire more fine control of the mower look at your transmitters setup and find the Exponential (Expo) setting adjustment for the stick you use to control the movement. By increasing the value you will dumb down the response of the stick around its center point. You will still get full speed, just not so soon, not at the moment you touch the stick. So slow fine control is gained by adjust the expo value. My mower also has FPV features so I can cut the grass while sitting in my living room chair and view everything as I drive. Doing this also improves the experience because by now you have noticed that its hard to know how close you are when you are standing across the yard and more importantly, you dont have to think backwards when the mower is coming toward you, ever. Its like you are inside the mower driving it.
Hi I attempted this, thank you, I got jazzy motors that work with 200 watts continuous and 1200 watts peak, the problem is the fuse keeps blowing as my duo 30 only takes 30Amps, so I put a 30 Amp inline fuse to protect it, it runs ok but when the motors draw more power, the fuse blows, I don't know what to do, how can I keep the motors from not pulling so much Amps? any ideas? Thank you
Thanks for the great video. Very informative. I am building an RC lawnmower and was wondering what size of battery you would recommend?

Do you have the reference for off-road wheels adapted to the engine axle?
Wheels adapted to an engine axle? Elaborate please.
Are you not able to adjust the height of the rear wheels then?
Yes, using the zip ties on the rear. It's not ideal though. I just adjusted my rear height once and have left it alone.
How do I slow down the reaction time from the radio control to the motor controller?
Add expo in the rc controller.
