RC Lawn mower

My RC lawn mower I built over the weekend.
As with most RD lawn mowers, I used the motors, batteries and wheels from an electric wheelchair. I had to use what I had on hand since there were no steel shops open on Saturday. I think it turned out pretty good. Its a little tail heavy so I need to work on that part.
I used the Sabertooth 2x25 motor controller and have since upgraded to the Spektrum radio and receiver.

I used a servo connected to the slide where the handle you hold down to start and shut off.

I put it on the "throttle" side of the radio.

Dimension Engineering's stuff rocks!

Very nice :) I just got the Battle Switch from Dimension Engineering to put inline with the spark plug wire to be able to kill the mower engin from the radio, just in case.
