Wheelchair User Builds Remote Controlled Lawn Mower

My husband bought some motors from a power wheelchair and mounted them onto a lawnmower he got for free through the app NextDoor and plugged it into an RC receiver. He can now mow the lawn remotely. We realize that this is not a new concept and that there are remote-controlled mowers that already exist. We just wanted to show that creating something like this is possible. See below for a list of items he used to do this.

**Update**
We did forget to mention the DIP switches that need to be set on the motor driver based on your configuration. Please consult your motor driver's manual on what is the correct settings for your configuration. If you have the same Sabertooth motor driver shown in this video, you can use this wizard to select your exact configuration
