So this weekend I took the mini DT out to the beach (ocean shores, WA) and had a blast with this beast. Im running 8 cells and a tekin brushless system. Keep in mind that when I was filming I was driving with one hand,,,I had much more fun when i had the use of both my hands, too bad I didnt get that on film.

As you can see, this thing can take the abuse...I had a hard time keeping this thing on all 4s

Enjoy,

This video is of my MINI DT 1/18th scale, not the micro (as per previous video in hawaii :razz: ) I didnt get a chance to grab both on this trip.

You live close to the beach? if not how many trip do you go on lol....I know I go on a ton of them ( trip to wal mart, hobby shop, beer store)

That thing looks fun on the sand, I would take my stuff to our beach but instead of jumping dunes like you it would be rotting fish and waste :shock:

That looks like a lot of fun. I don't know how you can drive that one handed. :shock:

Left handed with finger on trigger and thumb on the wheel,,,its tricky for sure :cool:

VooDooMafia:

I live near Seattle (no good beaches there) but Ocean Shores is about 2-2.5 hours away...We only do that once a year or so. The micro was taken in Hawaii and that was a special occasion (honeymoon) so they are few and far between. The great part is all I have to do is a quick change of wheels/tires and Im back to the back yard :-o
