Remote Controlled Wagon - Explanation of Parts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- This is a follow up from my first video here showing the operation of the wagon. Go here to see how it works: • Remote Controlled Wago...
This wagon is for sale. Looking for $650, parts are well over that.
I was asked to go through and do a parts list. This is just what I used, and not the most cost effective way to do it, but it does work pretty well. Below I'll list the parts and prices.
Razor 4-wheeler - $460 new (can be had used pretty cheap): www.amazon.com...
R/C Receiver, 3 Channel - ~$30: www.amazon.com...
R/C Transmitter, 3 Channel - $100 (can find used easily): www.amazon.com...
Motor Controller/Driver - $185 (Can get a "single motor driver" for slightly less, but this is what I used): www.amazon.com...
Steering Servo or Linear Servo - $299 (can find coupon codes online): www.servocity....
Those are all the main parts. The rest was just modified or build from lumber gotten from Lowes. Still have all the pieces to build a railing, but never got around to it. I'll probably try and finish that off to make it more sell-able.
Let me know of any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

I know the video is a couple years old, so first...Cool Build! I am hoping to combine this type of build with another beach cart build that inserts to a tow hitch for transport. Thanks for the explanation and the inspiration.
Hello iam Leon from holland did you make the beach cart??
...I just did a basic restoration on a trashed Razor Quad....I performed over $800 worth of labor without any upgrades....I agree that $650 is a deal for your wagon.
This is amazing! I was just wondering if anyone had converted a razor quad.... great job!
Really a nice build, thanks for sharing all of the details!
This is incredible! Exactly what I was looking for! Is this Wagon still around and working?
Yes... Just used it yesterday when a friend came over with their younger kid.
@@elmo4vt1 Thats pretty cool man! I like it a lot!
Don, just found your video, great job. Did you ever create a parts list that you would share?
Thanks, Tim
Take a look in the Description area of this video. It has the primary parts at least. Any additional questions, just let me know.
Hi I have a mental block when it comes to electrical stuff. Did you ever spit together a ket
Don, for the steering arm, how do you have it anchored at the top? I watched the other videos and couldn't really see too clearly how you got it done. Thanks
Forget the plywood deck you should’ve bought gorilla cart or a harbor freight cart metal it would’ve been a lot easier to mount put your batteries underneath
the link for the radio controller don't work. do you have another link?
This is a 3 channel that comes with a receiver, but you really just need one that matches or binds with the receiver you're using. www.amazon.com/Spektrum-3-Channel-Transmitter-Receiver-SPM2340/dp/B0857DCP3V/ref=sr_1_7?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DQmMVWD24TGFCBoUlXdLK0Z3NzaY3lrqgdMZCdsZuRfRUIHwh1FefEQxci5bx6UrXu18QW0CL72A0dwshYq0wI884xwHCKWCnNDmtXg-T1wQQso5D0dkJp7SqKqOLcj-cYtSf6RC8evmAerTdXf48JWHwmOqNnYHBoRnbf4iga9_GU7fOcWBiRF5OXI76B9-EYl175_pEzvCW1zEYUDVnChqeIkFu2_UfEisKnP4TYj9hTfH3osd6lHItRpYKcYm.Xnri8NlCR95Nnz_Rtty0xVdUTpT5FI_qvDbZvra22Tk&dib_tag=se&keywords=spektrum&qid=1725283411&sr=8-7
That looks really cool, great job man!
Hey Don, this is awesome. Are you running a third battery to power your turning actuator?
No, the actuator load is pretty small compared to the main drive motor, so I split the batteries and power the actuator and the main ESC from just one of the batteries. The charge equalizes every time I charge it and I've never seen more than 0.1V less on the battery running the servo.
@@elmo4vt1 Thanks Don. Sorry, I'm not fully following. You split it and one goes to the ESC and the other to the Actuator? (Meaning each is running off its own battery? Or do they come together after the split to run the main drive motor?) Sorry if this is a simple question, I'm new to this.
So the blue and yellow wire go to the directly to the rear motor> The front actuator is always under power and when the signal is sent it moves?
Yes. With a servo motor, they always have power and you are just telling it where you want the position to be. The small wires from the radio receiver give it a position code using a pulse width modulation signal.
Greatly appreciate you answering my question. I went ahead and ordered away last night. Pretty excited! @@elmo4vt1
Thank you! @@elmo4vt1
Hi Don, is this still available for purchase?
Don, It appears that your parts list has been jammed with some type of virus. Are you able to check on this issue? Thank you.
The parts list is just text in the description field. It shows fine for me on my computer and phone. Let me know if you have a specific question I can help with.
I just saw your video and this is great. Is this still for sale?
How do I get in contact with you?
What's the stroke on that arm?
Take a look in the description for a parts list. The one I used was a 6" stroke version, but they had lots of options. This one took about 2 seconds to go from full left turn to full right turn, which isn't as fast as I would have liked. Also, wasn't really happy with their customer service, but it did work well once I sent it back and paid them to fix the first broken one they sent me. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Don , could you share a diagram of the wire
Thanks
Fernando
Sorry, never made one.
Woke up this morning, picked up my phone, found this video, searched for a Razor dirt quad, and found a used one for a great price! Thank you for this video! I'll be doing a beach cart conversion. Is the disc brake still functional on your setup?
No, the brake isn't hooked up to anything. Most new speed controllers (and this one) incorporate electrical regenerative brakeing, which is great for anything around slowing down. Staying still on a hill is another issue though, and where you could set up a servo on the brake, but it would require constant power.
Is it still for sale?
Yes - Haven't even listed it on sale sites, but if you're interested, let me know how to contact you.
@@elmo4vt1 you can email me- bmc757@gmail.com thanks!
Do you have any carts forsale
Sorry - No. I sold the one in the video and don't have the need for another. The costs are pretty high, so it'd have to be a built to spec for someone.
How did it go in the soft sand
@@ronfordyce3503 It didn't do that well with the tires in the video. It would just dig down if the sand was deep/soft like we have here in Delaware. You'd have to use beach buggy wheels (larger grey balloon wheels) if you wanted it to work on the sand. Not hard to do, but would be an added cost.
You think if I put wheeleez on it .it would go in the sand in ocean city Maryland would I have to change Axle because I’m picking up a razerdirt tomorrow
@@ronfordyce3503 no question that it would do well with those tires - Not sure if you'd have to change the axle or not. It probably depends on the overall height of the replacement wheels, but that wouldn't be hard either.
Have you sold your wagon? If not I am interested. Let me know.
No I haven't. Didn't even really put it up for sale yet. You can contact me at donronenterprises"at"gmail"dot"com
If you are still selling it, let me know how much it cost😮🙏🏾
Sorry - Sold it about a year ago.
Is it still for sale
Yes... Can't ship so it's difficult. 🙄. I'm in Delaware.
Don E. How much you asking?
@@naz7493 Sorry for the late reply - $550.
