Nice build. I’ve sent a lot of people to your channel, especially on the golf cart videos and the tractor videos. You did the golf cart in a way that actually holds up long term, with that shaft and pillow block bearings. I really enjoyed the tractor build too.

What an awesome concept I would like to do this for a surf fishing cart. I have a question on the steering using this skid steer concept. Does it track pretty straight when going straight ahead only. In the surf fishing world sometimes we have to go down walkways that are narrow so I’m wondering how easy it will be to negotiate that with a remote control system like this.

It tracks very straight as long as the axles are straight I can drive this one down a sidewalk no problem.

The axles are currently 3/4 all thread rod , the hub has a notch while the rod has a 1/8 pin through it, the notch sits on the pin and 3/4 nuts hold everything tight

Hey mate, Thanks for the info. I'm building one! How long did you manage to run it for on the Ryobi batteries? Did you say what Volt and W motors you have there..... Thanks
@ChrisfromKeyfarm6 ай бұрын
The Ryobi batteries do very well, especially for the price. I have some 20 amp hour lithium batteries I run in series for 24 volts. The 18 volt Ryobi batteries are parallel, so if you want longer run time you could add more batteries but the run time for 2 is good. The motor are electric wheelchair motors that are rated at 24 volts but work great anywhere from 12-24v . Thanks for watching

you didnt put any fuses to protect the sabertooth? Peak amp is 64A
@ChrisfromKeyfarm11 ай бұрын
When I run the 18volt drill batteries, they do have 40 amp fuses in the hot leads, in this 24 volt setup if you over amp draw the batteries, they internal monitor in the battery will shut the power down. My battery connector only hooks up one way, so as long as it is installed right, there is no reverse polarity to worry about. A fuse wouldn't be a bad idea, but I just haven't installed one in the current setup, thanks for watching and commenting.
