Im glad to see im not the only one who makes these! I made mine out of a push mower rigged to an old wheelchair motor. The drive motors are windshield wiper motors, and i am using a 15A esc ( i think it was sabertooth ). It is VERY compact. About 1x2 feet. Good for small areas
best video so far explaining the saber!!!!!! thank you for answering my question.
now i know i can use regular dc batts on the saber. time to get to ordering!!!
Vids 10 years old and is still teaching people
Nice job bro. I actually want to make one of these and one for the snowblower trying figure out cost and where to start. Thank you can't wait to check out your other stuff
Nice break into the world of R/C: this is pretty much exactly the same setup i have on my mower. sabbertooth 2X25, spectrum DX7 (i fly helicopters too), 2x 12v lead acid batteries in series (if im mowing) or paralel (if a friend is mowing), and a pair of wheel chair motors.
haha the sabertooth seems to be the most popular way of making RC lawnmowers. Used it in mine too
Great Job Robert!
pretty cool, looks like you should be able to get nearly a zero turning radius.
@ihave2rocks The price for the controller is around $129. It is called the Sabertooth 2x25. Google that. As for the motors, those vary in price since people just sell those separate when they dissemble electric wheelchairs. eBay that :)
i like it. very clean
Great video Keep up the awesome work!
Mate you have made my freakin day, I really appriciate and thankyou so much for the links
@TheRemoteMower Wow, I really appreciate that. I wish I had ran into you a few months ago as I've already purchased 90% of all my parts and have most of the final design completed now...haha. I'll take note of your username though in case I build a second lawn mower in the future ;)
@RobertSmith3 Thanks for the quick reply, I have been looking around at different systems including Audrino and other expensive and complicated controls, this will cut the price of controlling the mower by heaps and will make it so simple to hook up :) Now to find cheap wheel chair motors in Aus. Thanks, Kramer.
Hi Robert, would ye be able at some stage to do a how to of how youve got the sabertooth 2x25 set up? im making an rc golf trolley and it would be a massive help to me to see how yours is set up. great work and keep it up! alternatively if you could take some pics of it so i can see how its connected that would be sick.
Great video! Thanks for posting it. How do you recharge that battery you have there? How long does it last? Thanks for your time and information.
I just got my sabortooth and mine didn't need the battery on the receiver, it powered the receiver through the controller. I plan to use a pistol grip radio instead of the style in the vid, I'm trying to make it easier for a left handed person to use because my dad has a bad right hand and he'll want to play around with this too. lol
what kind of plug or connection did you have on the receiver?
I've tried a 2ch (Harbor Freight plane) system and a 6 ch truck system, both at 27 Mghz.
I only got 1 channel to work with the motor controller each time. (Sabertooth 2X25).
I'm going to try a 2.4 Ghz radio next since that's what I see a lot of people using.
I just hope I don't end up with another hundred dollars worth of spare parts.
don't need a battery to receiver it gets powered from sabertooth if connected correct.looks like you have ground connected but not the red 5 volt.
@257corey257 Nope, the controller is made to handle 6-24V nominal and 30v absolute max.

I see you are using a separate battery for your AR5000. I've heard there is problems using the BEC on the Sabertooth for the RC receiver? If so, maybe a separate BEC could be used? Keep up the good work!
Thank you for making this video I made a remote lawnmower now I just need to figure out a camera and lights. Any suggestions?
Hey Tim. I haven't looked into cameras in a while, but I would point you in the direction to do a search for "RC cameras" and see if that pulls up something you find useful. Also, depending on how large the yard is you plan to use it for you should take into account to make sure the camera can cover the lawn size/max length.
Can you please advise me which mode of rc Transmitter works for such tank style robotic project.
Hey Pol_Khol. I am not sure for that type of project. I would think the mode I used in this project would probably work, but you may want to reach out to the Dimension Engineering company and see what they recommend also.
Sir, have tired 4x4 rc lawnmower and how you wire the 4 motor to the drive controller. Thank you
Are lawn and garden batteries deep cycle? I didn't think they were, but they'd be nice for saving some space
I am going to build me one,but i have a couple questions.What type of chair do i need to get the motors from?Do i need anything else from the chair to go with the build for as electronics..
Nice build! I made one using a power wheel on my channel.
good start for me, but where and what is the explaination of the motor controller from the receiver, thanks
Good video, wish you showed close up of connections on motorcontroller. Why not use Arduino? Isn't that cheaper?
P.S you do good work👍
Thanks Robert.
3 ch transmitter:
Tower Hobbies, Robot Market Place, Servo City
2x25 Motor controller:
Robot Market Place or Super Droid Robots
sweet
This is awesome! Can you tell me you got the motor controller from?
Thanks ! -- what mode do you have the Sabertooth in ? Mixed mode or independent ?You said you are only using 2 ch !
@shartne you know it ;)
hey man what channels did u use just 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 or idk what Chanels did u use btw nice vid
I have the same motor control board as your. Is your dip switch setup as pin #1 down and # down?
@robotmotor I did not have to do anything to the motors.
I have transmitter Spektrum dx5e and receiver Ar600. I am using sabertooth 2x25. I am using wheelchair motor - i am looking to build remote controller snow thrower. Right now I wanna get the first stage in check - connecting my sabertooth and wheelchair motors running. How did you connect the 6v battery to the AR600 receiver and what connections where made from the sabertooth to the AR600. Slots on AR600 from L to R; BIND/DATA, THRO, AILE, ELEV, RUDD, GEAR, AUX1. Thanks for your help! Lisa
Hello Robert, what pin configuration are you using for the receiver? I need one for throttle and one for stopping one wheel at a time for turning. the transmitter does not have a mode for a car only ones for plane or heli, is that a problem for controlling an RC lawn mower? Thanks
4430salton if you get the computer cable for spectrum transmitter you can set diferential trust
@RobertSmith3 Ok thanks man
i have a rc mower i made and a dx5e trans. and a ar 500 and ar6210 when i try to bind the light blinks fast then slow and then goes out and does not come back on Help
use 80/20 for the frame
I'm brand new to sabertooth 2x32a , controlling wheelchair motors...I also have a Flysky FS CT6B tx/rx and a New Rain ESC/BEC...do I still need a battery pack & universal 3 pin servo wires? ...I'm really frustrated not getting answers from RUclipsrs...Not even how to bind my
transmitter...help would be much appreciated.
Do you have contacts for the 2x25 sabortooth and the 3 channel controller working on a different project other than a RC lawn mower Thanks for the help
In similar projects what do you suggest the type of circuit breaker or fuse?
I would suggest you use a breaker if you can, but most people would probably use a fuse since they are a little cheaper sometimes and you can find many size types.
What kind of motors did you use? Where to buy motors.
hmm you are getting to be like make magazine. Robert are you going set in the shade in a chase lounge, sip on a drink and mow the lawn.
so if you put 24 volt to the motor controller it wont hurt it none. i no you are using 12 volt now but it wont hurt it for 24 volt.
Hey Robert this is Robert Denney I wanna hook an alternator to 2 ,12 V battery is building a snow plowI don't know how to do without a regulator.I bought a 12 V alternator 60 amps.
I have never tried to hook an alternator to a 12v battery, so I would not know the best advise to give in this case, but I would recommend joining some online forum communities to see if anyone may be able to provide you some support. Forums helped me a lot when I was first getting started with this project :D
You have the link of the battery?
where you order this motor and they are geared motor or not and the are speed ? please answer friend .. thanks
Robert, I like to flip my motors up . Which would change the direction on them. My question , will the motors run in reverse with out any problem? Is that okay ? or will the motor burn up or mess-up due to not running the default direction? Because now my right motor will be on my left side and my left motor on my right side.
if its a DC motor there is no real "right" direction
could please provide a screen shot of connection between motor controller and receiver.
I am a beginner for my project. :D
I have a RC mower I bought how can I make the fast speed faster
So what the cheapest recommended controller and motors?
hey could you please help me to finish this project. I connected the cables as it looks in your video but the motors doesn't move just crank end the sabertooth it's flashing the red led when I try to move the wheels.I hope you can help me.thank you
+Brian S I have the same issue. Have you figured out what was the problem? Would appreciate any help. Thanks
Hey What are these motors. Can I know the details of this project please
where did you get the code for the sabertooth at?
I need help..
There was no special code other than the dip switch settings, which at the time was found inside the manual on their website.
what model wheel chair motors did you use?
Hey Chris. I believe the following was the type of wheelchair motors I purchased: CTM HS 1000 Right Power Wheelchair Motor Gearbox 511000-10010
help sabertooth 2x60 with 12 volts each 4 motor dip switch setting thx
what is the name of the speed controller
could we get a parts list
Hello sir what name I want to buy the engine like him and thank you
what the hole setup coust
모타컨트롤라
어디서 팔아요
@Kramerfuckthis Google: Sabertooth 2x25, it should pop up as the first listing :)
Nice Video.
I personally prefer using a dx3 steering wheel controller .
check out my video's my mowers don't have a frame and the motors are tucked in tight giving you much better cutting up close to objects. I really like your video.
ชอบๆๆ นะนะจ๊ะ
How can I get transfer/receives
where or how?
Can you help me please
Create binding video
dont use a 12v Led Acid battery please people just dont. Use 2 LiPO batteries.
I can hook you up with parts for this project. I build and sell remote control lawn mowers. I have a contact in china and I wouldn't mind helping you out.
