Saltmoon 2,208 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Dont bother with a lure machine!!! Them rc petrol remote control cars are the same I've just discovered on my evening walk. Couple blokes racing them round the moor I didnt see them but the dog did he took right off after it was quite far away aswell i didnt know what the feck was going on at first soon as the car stopped he wasnt interested but it did get me thinking they can twist and turn and go like the clappers so could be a cheaper solution? Not that I know what price they are Quote Link to post

shaating 17 Posted May 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 So I now have a lure machine but I can’t control the speed it’s either super fast or nothing at all. I want to be able to control it like a drill ? Quote Link to post
