rc mower

[cdm]

all my searches have led to normal sized mower conversions, commercial mower bots (awesome!) and others like that

all i did was get the motor mounted to a plate today and my allergies hit bad and i was done for. need to make the blade holder and some blades out of crappy alum - i should have ordered my stainless yesterday but its hard when you are sneezing constantly

if i ever buy those custom 1/8th tanks i can tow a real mower behind it. zip tie the throttle and go. hah. i just wish i could justify it.

Here is a bruder conversion of a mower with two blades. The end of the video shows a quick photo of the underside of the mower deck.

It looks like a scale mower has the same problem that others have with their scale diggers, and that is that the grass you are cutting is still full scale just like the dirt and rocks don't scale down. I am just guessing here, but something like a scale bush hog may be the most feasible mower to build that may also be reasonably functional. Bush hogs are made to cut through heavier grass and brush, and the grass looks like it scales more like brush. You would need lower RPM's than a finish mower, but higher torque. May be a bit safer.
