Wireless controller, more powerful custom-made motors, stronger frame, and with a name like DeathBlades, we can’t think of a single reason why you would prefer heel treads, well everyone was young at one time.

If you have any information, do let us know, but in the meantime, enjoy these other weed whacker powered projects.
