Does anyone know the proper materials needed (shopping list style) to create a remote control garden wagon, i.e. childs radio flyer style wagon? I have fabrication abilities with metal and wood, but RC eludes me. Also, if you know of a more appropriate blog to ask such questions then I am happy to take note.
Essentially, I would like to drive loads of garden material around and/or drive my son around in the wagon via remote control. So the wagon would need to carry up to say ~150 pounds, give or take, and the top speed could be anywhere from 4 to 14 mph, give or take.
I considered this blog because I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and I assume many people on this blog have already build similar (and much greater) things; I’m looking for some guidance from the experienced and knowledgeable folks who peruse these blogs.
I had considered attaching the axle from a two-wheeled PAW (power assisted wheelbarrow) to the rear of a wagon but I don’t know what kind of servo could handle steering the wagon (1/5 scale, or maybe a linear actuater??), and I am not sure I could get a speed controller to handle the 26 amp peak draw on this 24 volt PAW axle…
Any advice is welcome.
