Does this RC work well on the beach or in sand/dirt?

Works good on dirt, for Sand you would need a set of paddle tires which are designed specifically for sand. Other wise it will probably just keep getting stuck.

I've never been to the beach with it but I live in sand dunes with very fine sand and it does pretty good! I would recommend using compressed air to clean it out after every use that sand gets everywhere! But they are very fun!!

In the dirt with the Traxxas stock tires, the truck works great! It gives you just enough slip to slide around and have fun while maintaining control. As far as the sand, I bought sand paddle tires to drive on the beach. They really worked wonders. The treads on the stock tires don't have deep enough treads for traction. As a precaution, if you happen to drive on the beach, make sure you take care of your motor or it will burn out.

I did not use it on the beach. The beach wheelchairs I have seen have different type wheels. If the sand is compact enough as in a dirt trail, it may work.

I haven't tested it in sand, however the spikes that dig into the ground are sharp. Depends on how much sand....it may work better in sand than mud, as the weight of the vehicle would help to keep the strip under the wheel; The trick is to get these strips out as soon as you are stuck. If you are on the beach and tide has risen up to your axle (I have seen this), it might be difficult to get the strips properly placed under wheel, and the water would add "slipperiness" to the rescue process. The strips have some weight, probably would not float away.

I use it at beach, in yard and concrete. I just make sure it is steady before I sit down.

I've only used it on soil, both soft and compacted. It worked just fine in both. Never took it to the beach...sorry. It locates property pins really well; my primary use.

Yes, our family has used it at OBX on both the ocean and sound sides and it moves easily compared to other beach devices we have used. We have also used it at our grandkids soccer games to cart everything from car to the fields as well.

No, it has not been used at the beach. I wonder if the weight of the cart contents might make the wheels difficult to maneuver in the sand, but I really have no idea how useful it would be in that situation.

Yes, our grandson drove it on grass & pavement. It rode fine. He had a blast!

We took our BOB on a cruise and on our beach vacation. It worked great on the sand as long as the tires are inflated!

If you are talking about riding down the beach or gravel more than an inch or so it probably would not work, but a dirt road would not be a problem. Our son also rode it through 3" grass and it slows down but still works.

I actually had a cookout today and kids were all over the place with this scooter. I have a dirt driveway and it is excellent, used to have one with the small hard tires and I considered it useless here. On grass goes ok but nothing is going to roll the same on soft grass compared to hard dirt.

It works best on smooth surfaces but it will work on a sidewalk and driveway also. Granddaughter loves it.

Not likely to work on the beach. It needs a hard ground to plug in the pegs that hold up the net. I am not sure whether you will find the hard ground on the beach, because of texture of the quick sand.

We used ours at the beach, if you can stake it down fairly well (not just in sand), it does pretty well.

works awesome on the beach. I take it often and it is loud. battery lasts a long time also.

As long as you are on a smooth surface, the scooter works fine. I tried it on a boardwalk last summer and it was not very steady because of the uneven surface of the boards. I have not tried it on uneven ground.

Does very well on cement, smooth surfaces, etc. Doesn't do real well on rocky or real bumpy ground. Could you be more specific about what type of terrain?
