Eagleseeker Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Hi guys I too would like to thank you for your help. I'm a bit behind Dave (Sharpster) in the training of my bird but am looking for the same kind of vehicle. I've followed the thread and links. I don't need the roof crawling attributes but need fast for my bird too. Sadly I don't have the same budget but wondered if either of these two might do the job, what do you guys think? The same as Sharpster I'm just looking to drag a dummy bunny over grass etc. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160901032979?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261351898394?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Thanks in advance for your help.

tonysmini Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The second one, much better availability of spares if it does get broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleseeker Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thank you gents. Just one last question. I don't think that the motor is brushless does it make that much difference and what kind of actual speed can I reasonably expect. Many thanks again.

tonysmini Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Probably good for between 15-20 mph on short grass depending on how heavy the lure you are pulling is. Might be worth putting a bit of lead weight in the front of the truck to stop it rearing up. Edited December 29, 2013 by tonysmini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi M8, Just a quick idea, Have a look on youtube for different cars, most of the vids are pretty crap quality as they are only done by armatures however it will give you a rough idea of what they are capable of on different terrains, Rather than just buying something straight out. Hope it all pans out well for you Kindest Regards Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
