Dude that's awesome sauce rite there. I can spit out a bunch. Green machine, lawnsherdder , sir shreds alot , the grass hog , LOL they just came to me when I saw it I'm sure can think of more.
 
Me likey.

If you plan on trying to use the lawn mower wheels any, wrap them in a bicycle tire. Better traction on slippery slopes.
 
At least you are using a Lawnboy. Change the "b" to a "t" to get Lawntoy. You gotta do FPV on it too!

Other silly suggestions:
Lawnboy 2.4GHz
FunCut v1
LawnBot
iCut 22.2V
iMow Pro
Or just plain Moe.
 
Man, you guys are coming up with some good names!

So, today kinda sucked. I took 4 steps forward and 3.5 back today. I finally got the motors all mounted up and went to put the rear wheels on it and discovered that I had made an error in ride height so I had to take everything back apart and start over again. Got that all done and while the ride height is still about 1/2 inch higher than Id like its close enough for gubment work :)

Also messed around with the wheel chair caster wheels for awhile today trying to figure out how to mount them and make the 2 bearing system work. In the end I scrapped the nice expensive wheels and I went to home depot and found so much cheaper (and much more simple to install) caster wheels. Havent started mounting them yet but that will be my next step tomorrow. Also order a brand new blade for it. IDK who owned the mower before me but they sure didnt take care of their blade. Its so blunt and dull I'm surprised it cuts at all. lol

Updated original thread with new pics but will post em here too.
