RC Mower Complete - On to Next Project

[CalgaryPT]

Paint and reassemble now done. Blade fires up nicely and I can't wait for the grass now. I'll park it and start hoping for warm weather.

I'm going to miss this project...6 months of work and lots of fun metal fabrication.

On to the next project...

Ahhh…. not finished quite yet. Needs 4 faux exhaust stacks (raked) behind the motor and a sharks mouth decal on the front.

I'm impressed, nice work!!!

Gonna need to see it running Peter. I think we need a meetup to see: rc mower, steam bicycle, anything else.?

Looks awesome. Once the camera is mounted it will look even more like a Lunar Rover.

Super cool project, would love to have one like that to mow my yard. Can not wait to see your next project.

You should make a timelapse video of it mowing your lawn.

Then you better add a satellite dish that points to some random spot on the sky.

If it doesn't throw winter land mines (doggy poo) 50 feet over your fence into your neighbours back yard then it's useless.

Watch where you step, did I say that..... LOL

 

[CalgaryPT]

All great ideas guys, thanks. I think.

So put the dog out the front and wait for Halloween when the kids run through your yard!

I thought pooch was supposed to get a seat to drive this thing?
Nicely done!

Yeah...not a good idea.

He'd drive straight to this place and run up my credit card:

I think whoever coined the phrase "dumb animals" didn't live with one.

 

[CalgaryPT]

100% agree.

Our pooch, Barti, actually did call this place once on the phone. I had been talking to Bon Ton Meat Market on the portable earlier in the day. Towards the evening he stole the phone and was carrying it around the house, like he often did. He must have pushed redial and I heard people on the other end saying, "Hello????" It was the Meat Market.

Accident? Maybe. But the look on his face said otherwise.

That's awesome. I love this stuff. All those electronics and mechanical problems that need you to devote your spare time to testing, rebuilding and modifying, over and over and over again.

Shocking to find out I never had a girlfriend in high school, right?

Where can you get tracks like that anyone know?
