Default RC advice for offroad electric

Hi Guys,

I have an ex racing greyhound that i adopted. I love seeing him running at full speed and he really enjoys it, problem is he can only even do this when there is another dog to chase at the park.

I used to own a nitro onroad racing car however i understand these days for a fraction of the price electric are just as good.

I want to get an offroad electric, second hand or not that i can tie some string too and tow around my dogs play toy so he can chase it. He has a muzzle on so there is no chance of the car or himself getting damaged.

Any advice on what models etc are in the cheaper range that would suit this use or anyone know of any good second hand ones??

I need offroad so i can drive it on the grass, greyhounds cant run on the road because their feet will bleed cause its really soft.

THanks for the advice.

What kind of speeds would those do??

My dog can do 60-70km/h however it is only in a straight line, if i can get a car that handles not bad then he wont keep up, ill have a look at those
