rapidjenky 97 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 maybe put another turn just before the machine so it whips it to the side at 90 degrees so the dog runs past out the way of it. ide like to come have a few runs on it myself! well my dog lol. looks great mate.

That seems to be what a lot of the lure racing events do, either that or a simple piece of white painted plyboard staked up with a hole cut into it for the string to pass through. cheap effective and easy for the dog to see when concentrating on the Lure.

graham4877 1,181 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) looks grate mate, was just wondering what motor you using? im in the middle of a engine converstion and got a spear alternator would it do the trick? well it would work but the thing is with starters they are only ment to run for 10/15 sec, and they draw 30ah+ so you'ed only get a few runs with a 18ah batteries, but you need deep cycle batteries or a car batterie ok if you have a car to carry everything! my lure has done 12 runs with only a 2 min brake ( the time it takes to walk the line back out) used my 18ah for them and it used a 1/4 if that! if in two weeks it pass's my testing i will start making them! and they will be well under a £100 with p&p all you will need is a batterie Edited January 8, 2011 by graham4877 Quote Link to post

I think you can turn them in to a motor tho!! I think i have a book on doing it! you may be on to something with them if they can b used as a motor! Quote Link to post
