Radio Control Cat Post
I have made cat post for years, But this is a new twist on it,
Remote control, Left and right,
I started with just the car on it's side on the top of a pole,
The better RC you cant get, More fun YOU are gonna have, Oupps the CAT'S are gonna have, :)
This cheap model had two motor control independently, The remote has no speed control, just on off, and foreword and back, ,
More power and better response would improve mind, Better RC would solve this, :)
But still cat's love it,
Supplies
This Cat Post is Made of a :
* recycle Kid's toy RC car,
* Broken coat stand,
* A long wood pole
* And yes a Cat toy,
Chosing Wood and Gluing
First you need to decide how the head of the post is gonna look like,
The component off your RC may be different,
I took discarded plywood, Glue them,
I cut them with a jig on my table saw,
The Head
So depending on the model RC,
Bild a space for the component,
The part that spin's on top as one of the wheel rim of the RC, I t was easy-er that way, :)
Battery Compartment,
The RC i used had a drawer type battery holder,
I cut just what i needed from the RC so I could re-use the drawer in my cat post,
The Post
The post is made of a broken Coat post,
I haded a new top section,
The Cat Post can be use indoor out outdoor,
There is a pick that can be screwed on the bottom,
The Remote
The RC had two motor, two lever,
But I only need one, The remote is now on it's side way in my new box,
One lever only, I ca be used left and right instead of forward and backward,
