i'm looking for a decent priced body i can use for my robot but i cant find a decent-sized one that can move across the lawn, any ideas? I've been considering using a cheap r/c truck for it, could this work? or is there another cheap solution?


thanks.

    The r/c truck is probably the best value for your price range (cheap)

    Check out the Morphibian Thread.

    $22 on Amazon. 4WD and can even go across water.

    I have no personal experience myself with Morphibians, but I've bookmarked that thread for "someday".

    Here is a video of one on a grass.

    Good luck,

    Morphibian looks like a great platform, and is geared down for useable torque better than most RC cars. It's waterproof, that's a plus just to keep dirt & grass out of the chassis. Good find, johnnycarlos!
