Wolfie · Answer

Yes it dose have some power for its size the base was from an RC snow cat from radio shack and now moves alot more wight than before. I cant wait to see it working in the snow When it was just an RC plow it did ok with up to 3" deep dry snow on my deck should be better now that it wight is alot more and seen how good it climbs when it has traction Soon the blade will be working then i need to work on a better power system for it "I want to power it all on less than 1.5 volts" wish me luck on that part lmao

Rural Geek · Answer

Great build Wolfie. Why do you want it to run on such low voltage?

Wolfie · Answer

then my batts will last alot longer and cost way less to power it

CardboardHacker · Answer

Wolfie · Answer

pulse motor, joule thief, and some good capacitors
