@sxayaxang I use a sabertooth 2x25 motor controller

@alecfederov91 I use a hobbyking TX & RX, it was around $30 new incl shipping.

@jimenezlee It looks like they are still on there. Did you leave them as a dust cover? My setup stops as well, but I'd like to figure out a way to engage the remote from the R/C transmitter. Later on with an Arduino or the like I suspect it will be easy. DO you know how to take a servo output and control a relay? I have 2 switches on my R/C transmitter, so I suspect that it's capable of doing this, I just don't know how. Hobbyking has little to no documentation :-/

You forgot to start the mower? lol jk

that is very cool
so can you help me about the electronic and the speed controller
thanks
How do you control the brakes? I need to figure out how to implement the ones on mine. I was thinking of using a switch channel on my R/C transmitter. How could I make that activate a relay though??

@allanonmage My design needed no brakes. When the stick returned to center it would stop and the motors would offer resistance to movement. The Sidewinder controller did all this.

Why not start with a unit that has a rectifier regulator on it. Or add one. You could have cut the weight and cost of the Battery's in1/2 or better. And never had to charge the Deep cycles. Us a small Motorcycle battery there what 20 bucks at Walmart. Vers proly 300 bucks for the deep cycles.

The deep cycles were also from Walmart at about $75 a piece. I did not put a generator on it as I was anxious to get it running. It would probably be a good idea to add one.

is hat made from a powerchair chassis?

Yes, pretty much the front part of the frame is the original chassis.
