Re: RC Lawnmower
Literally the only thing I can think of right now...
Kidding aside, a quick perusal of Pinterest will net you a variety of results. But basically, you'll need to construct steering (cable or rack and pinion), throttle control servo and possibly a remote start. If you wanted it to be autonomous, that'll be a Roomba.

Re: RC Lawnmower
hahahaha the fact is I understand the electronics but I've never soldered iron and metal and I'm afraid to do it wrong. A gameboy zero is simple but an iron shell?? I don't know...

Re: RC Lawnmower
Well, you can't solder iron, but you can weld it which is an entirely different skillset. But you don't need to know how to weld to make a basic framework. It'd be a less elegant solution but you could make a steering frame like the one in the above picture with just drilled holes and bolts. If you're interested I'd look into projects other folks have done: there has been an R/C just about everything you can imagine with complete guides since the technology has been around for decades.
