Tizzi 1 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi Guys, Read a few previous posts about making a lure machine, everyone uses starter motors, is there any reason why a small 12v electric motor like the ones for model boats etc wouldn't do the same job? Cheers Quote Link to post
hogdog 61 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 They're not really powerful enough, you'll need at least 250 watts (depending on length of run and a few other things) and they don't make them that powerful. A cordless drill motor is better suited but you need to match the spool size to the speed of the motor. Quote Link to post

Cheers are you wanting to make one or is it you just cant find one to buy??? if its the latter , if you give it a month till i give mine a good test i'll be knocking them out and they should be well under a £100 posted! its not made with a started motor , so they will be light weight, the motors are meant to run for hours ,unlike the starter motors , you wont have to worry about discharge as much as they dont draw 30+ah like the starters all i use is my standard two 7ah lamping batteries, but nothings going to happen till i get lots of testing done as i wont be ripping anyone unlike the last person to make lures Quote Link to post

graham4877 1,181 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'll put a post up when its being tested, I could post a photo now but it don't look the way its going to look if it passes the test!! Quote Link to post

They get up to full speed then turn n get back up to speed so your getting take off sorted aswell i try to make its like a real course! some people run lure comps its ok for a bit of fun i'ed say, but some people take it to far!!

tinklefod1 21 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 i made one it is sooo easy, it isnt pretty but works a treat, hammers the battery though and i use one off a tranny van!! took about half hour to make i just need to buy some better twine for it to make for longer runs, my mate has a lathe so if he'l let me il turn out some bobbins either wood or metal and go from there oh and if you dont weld then spose theres nowt to stop you drilling holes and fixing with nuts and bolts hth....daks Quote Link to post
