Hey there,
So I'm building a dog lure for our rescue greyhound.
Its basically a great fun way to build fitness and confidence in a controllable way for a rescue dog that was mistreated.
It's a simple system - a large reel of thin dacron cord like a builders brick line, a few strips of a plastic bag attached to one end of the line as the lure. You switch the motor on and the dog chases it.
I've seen several people use a starter motor directly attached to a car battery. BUT you don't have any control over the speed obviously.
I'd like to have a little more control so I can vary the speed of the lure and thus build the dogs fitness back at a steady and safe pace.
I have this motor here - https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/210...MI4JP0kJ2S3AIVSF4ZCh0O3AAmEAkYASABEgJeUvD_BwE
It's a 12v starter motor for small RC engines and it will be plenty powerful to use to drag the lure even through longer grass. I have a 12v motorcycle battery that I'm planning to use.
What would be the best variable speed controller for a motor like this? I know its probably a simple question for many of you but any advice would be gratefully received!
many thanks
