Remote Control / Radio Control Thread

[Phil Timmons]

Dunno if anyone on here does or has interest in Remote Control (typical Radio Frequency Control, as least to start) type Tractors / Equipment?

This is pretty much "poor-boy" of it. The RC / RF controllers and receivers are REALLY Cheap and rather industry-standard.

This is a jump up from cable / remote switches controls to Cheap RF / RC link(s).

But still a step down from Wifi / Cable Industrial network version.

The real "Tractor Build" portion of it is for control of: AC Motors, and Variable Frequency Drives, DC Brush and Variable Speed DC, and Stay-Alive ("Kill") switches/circuits, along with controls of accessory and implements type equipment.

Never wanted a remote start for the tractor, but I bought a couple Amazon wireless remotes for my winches. A two-pack had two controllers, two larger remotes and two keychain remotes. Both work well and make life easier. The blue wire sticking out of the Warn is the "antenna". No, I don't drive around with the winch on the front of the Trailblazer

Nice. So they have a forward and reverse? And single speed? And I guess some sort of safety or kill switch?

Just making something like a table of options for Best Practices.

Thanks!
