I just got this for my bday. I'm an RC Noob. Can this drive on hard dirt (as opposed to muddy or loose sand like dirt), or will dirt destroy it?

hard dirt would be ok i suppose, i would try and stay onroad with it. mud or loose dirt wont destroy it but you wont get very far on it..

Hi, no problems. everything is fine. It has a good ligth but not as good as the over $1,000 better quality ones. but performs great for my use in offroad.

It does not look sturdy enough to drive far or at any speed! But I would be willing to drive with mine up around the campground. Just keep the speed around 10 MPH and if you have it on tight it should be good!

I just love this cart. I am afraid that I can't answer your question because I have not run it over sand. I have gone through both rough and fine gravel without a problem and it can go through mud pretty well too.

Mine is installed in my ps4 and it is much faster than the 5400rpm stock. It boots, sleeps, and shuts off twice as fast as my friends with the stock drive. I'm sure you'd see performance boosts in a laptop or pc

I have used ours on loose dirt and it worked great. I think if you had issues you could use the chock wedge to keep it from moving as you pull on the leveler and then just chock it in the back with a rock or piece of wood. This is the ONLY leveler to buy in my opinion.

The drive is very quite for a large storage device. I have 2 hooked up and it's still quite. They only spin up when you need them.

I've used them used under the wheels of some rather large class A motorhomes. What destroys them is if they start to slide when you drive onto them. You have to orient them like a staircase so that you are not attempting to "climb" more than the thickness of "one block per step". Rough, rocky ground can also damage them. In many situations, you'll need more than just 10 blocks. If you really want to be prepared, get 20, or even 30 blocks (two or three 10-pks.) If you use them under the rear of a motorhome that has duals, you need separate "staircases" of blocks for inner/outer wheels, because the blocks are not wide enough to support both inner and outer wheels on the width of a single block.

Small puddles of mud and water are okay, just don't go through mud that is higher than the bottoms of the axle housing. It will rust the bearings if the truck is not waterproofed. If you want to waterproof your rig, check our rc sparks on YouTube. He has a front to back video of waterproofing electronics.

Same thought as Mario. I have a traditional HDD in it and so far have not experienced a spin down.

Yes it drives well on just about anything, including grass and dirt. I hope your home or room is large though, I can't imagine riding it in a room less than 20 feet long and wide enough to turn around! But it's an awesome toy.

I own several Buffalo mini hard drives. All have never let me down. I have one 6 years old with no problems. Highly recommended.

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 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.

If I have to guess. I would say 35 in the street. I can tell u that the wheels will throw a roster and rock in the dirt. Being all wheel drive really helps control but you lose speed. For a beginner its perfect for learning to control that speed. I think there are some gear changes and motor changes to increase speed. Haven't looked to deep into due to where we live. Not enough room to get really fast.

Film of dirt is ok....filthy and lots of heavy dirt is jot ok. Check out autogeekonline forums for more info.

I would mostly use it on flat surfaces. I've tried to take it on rougher terrains and it shakes and rattles and is very bouncy. Doesn't do very well on dirt roads.
