I'm done with the mechanical portion of building an RC mower. I'm now looking for an RC capable, dual channel, 12 volt (or higher), 50Amp (+/- 10) DC motor controller, that will drive a pair of wheelchair motors. With a price between $100 - $200.

Anyone have any sources?

Thanks

 

The gold standard is Vantec - http://www.vantec.com/rdfr.htm

Lots of options. The typical wheelchair can take 15 Amp at 24v. The bigest problem is control. In the grass mowing arena, sending 24v is too fast to control with the normal gearset. Try it, you might be ok. Send me a note when you get yours done. I'm working on mine as we speak. B & D electric mower conversion.

 

Good DC motors and other RC mowing gear can be purchased from http://mo-to.synthasite.com
