Does this operate in the yard as well as paved areas? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on a rc that does well in grass for about this price?

Great on tar, not so good on grass and honestly I had this model and had spent well over 500 by the time I was done with it because I turned it into a rustle vxl. Which may be a better choice. Or even a rustle xl5 would be better than a bandit because a lot is exposed on the bandit where on the rustier the body helps protect it a little better. Because of these cars being hobby grade I'll let it be known they will break but there are many parts out there to repair it.

Hello Sharon, i would suggest the traxxas Stampede if you want to use the vehicle in the grass as well as the street and the cheaper model can be upgraded to go just as fast as the more expensive models. 35 miles per hour is pretty fast for someone who is not really into racing but just wants to have fun and obtain a quality remote control vehicle. As i suggest to everyone to use rechargable batteries in transmitter and invest in a quick charger for truck battery. Charge time is 40 min vs. 8 hours to play with vehicle. I hope this helps! Also Merry Christmas!!!

Does great on grass. As long the grass is of regular height, there are no issues.

It absolute can be used in grass. My father-in-law used it a lot outside. :)

It works good on grass, my daughter rides hers on the driveway as well as the lawn with no problems. Sand doesn't go to well with it at all. As long as the gravel is really packed good it shouldn't be a problem.

I've never really flown it outside, the most I flew it in was in an underground garage with little wind. But I have had a few of these things ranging from the $19 to the $100 variety and this one was the easiest one I flew, it was really responsive and did what I wanted. Happy flying

Yeah, it drives on grass. If you're talking about long grass, it'll go much more slowly, might clog up the treads, but it'll go over a nicely trimmed lawn or a soccer field.

Yes, my son rides on both pavement and grass. It does just fine on a regular grass lawn, but probably wouldn't be too good if it's really rocky or rutted.

this chair will go up and down hills great. It takes more battery power so the battery may not last as long as advertised. I really haven't tried it on grass, but it does just fine on my carpeting. The chair has more than enough power. My husband is the one who uses it and I would recommend it for ease, size and weight. It has 4 speeds, and I recommend paying attention to them.. Makes a big difference

Yes, it drives great on grass! That's the majority of where my 2.5 yo son uses it. In our backyard. Even reverse is strong on grass!

I only know that it is good on hardwood floors. My grandaughter hasn't mastered this yet so I havent taken her outside with it just the livingroom which is hard wood floor. It seems like it would work in grass if it was leveled ground..

Hi it works on grass but if wet it will peel out.Flat patio concrete or asphalt is the best. My niece loves it but watch your feet.

Yes, it does very well. Make sure if grass is tall you use the highest setting for the wheels, then next time drop it down a little lower.

Yes. I have used it in grass and on dirt and gravel driveways at a fairgrounds. It rolls well on the main rubber tires but when you set it down on call four wheels, the smaller wheels tend to dig in and may get a bit stuck.

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 use it on a combination of pavement and dirt/pine needles/grass. You need more muscle in the dirt but the tires are plenty big enough and easy to manuver. I would expect it to work in grass just fine. Be prepared to use more strength though. My boat is 3500 lbs as a reference. 20 ft open bow fiberglass.

Yes! I found it to work very well on paved surfaces. The one I have now is my second one.

it will go pretty good in the grass but its mostly meant for dirt and gravel tall grass will slow it down a fair amount

It handles very good on dirt and grass. Acceleration is slow and smooth easy yard. Perfect learning bike. It has 3 speed settings from quick walk to full out sprint. Battery lasts about 3 hrs of mellow riding or 45+ full out. Well worth cash.
