Newbie to forum wanting to race dog

[Khreat]

Hi all, this maybe a bit oddball, but I used to frequent the newcastle longbenton club in the late 90s, but haven't since used my cars.
I have a lurcher who is pretty unstimulated by fetching a ball (as in I get more excersice than him from the game) and since he is essentially a hunting dog and I don't want to explain why my dog has killed something I though I might be able to use my old carbon bosscat to either wear a furry coat, or tow a bait for the dog to destroy.
I have become very aware that tech had come on a long way in the 20 years I've been out of the game and need to do some homework on brushers motors, esc, and lipos, but would be interested in reading any suggestions from folk on this.
I dont want to corner too quickly ad the dog goes lame quite easily when turning too quickly, but he is very fast, so acceleration and top speed are important.
Unfortunately money is not in too plentiful a supply, especially as this may not work, maybe put more in if it does work.

Hit me up with some ideas, if you'd be so kind!

hi there

i have a lurcher saluki/grey ( technically a longdog ) she loves chasing my shortcourse truck around the garden, its a good change from a tennis ball as she gets bored easily and turning and changing direction all the time adds extra fun for her. What ever you do i recommend running something that has an enclosed body shell so that the wheels are covered, this way if they accidentally step on it they wont hurt themselves on spinning wheels or anything sharp etc that will put them off from chasing again. if i were you and was on a tight budget id sell the vintage stuff you have and buy a ready to run short course truck. ( for what you get for the vintage stuff will cover most if not all costs of new kit i think ) at least this way you have no issues with spares or breakages.
i dont know what your budget is but iv seen dms are doing ashima rtr sct kits for under £90,
what ever you do i would recommend you tie some washing line/string to the back bumper and drag a soft toy along ( not too long as you dont want them to get caught up in it ) this way you save your car from getting munched on ;-)

or if you have a bigger budget the worlds your oyster theres loads of toys to buy!
