My DIY RC Mower - Free plans available on my website - members.iinet.net.au
My dad's getting on in years... he just turned 66 yesterday. I've been living with him since my mom died (I'm 25) and he keeps wanting me to cut the grass, which doesn't bother me. But I'm moving out next year.
My sister and I were thinking of getting a remote control lawn mower for him. Does anyone know if one of those exists?
To the guy who called me "lazy cow"... did you eve READ my story?!? Grr..

I'm not sure a remote control lawn mower is your best option. I think your dad would be better off with either a riding mower- try to find a used one. Or with you hiring a business or person to come and do it for him. Or maybe there is a neighborhood kid or a friendly helpful neighbor that would be willing to help out.
Good Luck!
Is there a way to attach some wires and levers to be able to steer a self propelled lawn mower? I want to make it be controlled like an RC car. Is there a site or a place where I can buy a system or the necessary parts?
Buy one already made its cheaper and safer
I heard gas powered remote control cars cannot be played on the streets? Is that true? I have a neighbor who lets his son play his remote control car on the street of our house. It is soooo loud! It sounds louder than a lawn mower. Someone has told me that it is illegal to play on the street. I can't find that on the web. Can anyone help?
in the UK motorized RC vehicles [battery] are allowed
to be used with caution and not on the road
but nitro fueled RC vehicles can be used without a permit
but only on private grounds/property and with owner of the land permission ,which is fair enough because some nitro fuelled RC vehicles go extremely fast,and would cause a nasty injury if it hit somebodys foot/leg on the main street,if that helps at all?
ps:and of course there is the high level of
noise pollution to be taken into
consideration too,so all in all !
and i have never been to sunny california in my life,i will stick my neck out and say no you cannot use a gas/nitro rc vehicle on pavements and streets purely because it
makes sense not to
***what shall i buy a 2 stroke petrol remote control car or a nitro whats the difference***?
hi all i want to buy a remote control car but whats the difference between a 2 stroke that uses a mix of Petrol (93#)/engine oil mix (25:1 ratio) and the nitro ones.. the one im looking at has a 26cc water cooled engine..2 stoke engine is that the same as a lawn mower engine...
Go with the nitro. with the gas mixture hardly anyone uses. I have a traxxas T-maxx which is nitro and it is awsome. even though nitro costs $25 a gallon it is worth it. there are different nitro % you can buy for your car. Traxxas makes up to a 33% nitro. If this is your first time with a high performance rc car a T-maxx will be a good starter car. The t-maxx is a nitro monster truck. there are plenty of upgrades for it and it comes with reverse a feature most nitro cars dont have. After you develop your driving skills you can pull off tricks with it. ex. backflip frontflip double back flip. The t-maxx 3.3 comes with a whelie bar for when you lift the front tiers off the ground. what ever you do dont get the gasoline mixture car. They will give you a headace. Traxxas also has a support line to help you fix your car when it breaks. All nitro cars need ajusting fixing and tuneing regualy
Remote Control Lawn Mower
A demonstration video clip of Evatech remote control lawn mowers from The Discovery Channel's Canadian Daily Planet in 2006. The overall lawn mower design has evolved since this video was made to make these remote control mowers even better including the ability to add a snow plow attachment to the remote control lawn mower. You can also view a video of a remote control snow blower .
