The only drawback I see with that motor (besides the price) is the small amount of space you would have for a motor shaft on the same side the little motor sits on.

I didn't see that( the shaft length) you could add an extension to it to clear the motor.

I guess it's just a matter of preference.
Myself, I'd rather use two motors that cost $6 to $8 dollars each than use a $60.00 motor that I would still have to extend the shaft and re-engineer the whole skeleton chassis.

Luv it, thanks gonna try something like this next year

Wow! that's incredible. Wish I had a big enough yard to make something like that useful. Looks fantastic!

Thanks!!
Even with a small yard it could still work for you. Mine doesn't crawl very far before I stop it. Or you could tether it in place and just have it crawl without moving.

could you make this thing remote control?

A few years ago a forum member here (bourno) used my original design to make a remote controlled headless zombie. I guess it used servos and a model airplane controller. I myself haven't tried making a remote controlled crawler, except for just starting and stopping.

RC Crawler

I love it so simple.
