    Wanted: A quick RC car that can handle offroad

    I'd like to pick up an relatively inexpensive, new or used, R/C car. Requirements: Fast enough to stay away from a dog, needs to be able to handle terrain such as a well cut field/hard packed but uneven dirt.

    The dog in question can run b/w 30-40mph, so if the RC car can approach 30 mph, I'd be pretty happy with that (if the dog is catching, I can simply turn the RC car...)

    What suggestions do you guys have? Anything for sale? Want your own RC car chased?

    electric...gas might startle/scare the dog, or harm him if he does indeed catch the thing But ease of use also points me toward electric.

    That said, if somone wanted to try getting their own rc car chased, I have no objections to gas...

    Given that I have no idea what the pricing is like for the given capability, I'm not sure...I mean, I'm okay with the idea of spending 200 bucks, but would hope I could find cheaper for used perhaps. Just not sure...

    I mean, I am NOT looking for the highest quality units...

    Basically the idea is to train the dog for lure coursing, and to me this seems like a better approach than the traditional way....

    And I've always liked RC cars to boot
