You only "try"? I have no doubt that dog poop will be like Charlie Brown's kite-eating tree.
Overall, I feel much more comfortable after reading all these posts and watching the video. I saw some others with the tanks in grass (fairly short grass).
As far as pictures go, I actually bought this as a present for my grandson. He's a bit young for it, however his father (my son) is, or at least was, a keen RCer. So adult supervision will be there. Nevertheless, running it outdoors where's there more room to make mistakes would be prudent. Hence the question on terrain. Hopefully I will be able to get a video of it running.
Reading up on these tanks, and knowing my son, I did take the liberty of applying the decals. Yes, a bit fiddly, but they went on OK. All the accessories that glued on were done as well. I left the double sided tape accessories for them to do together.
All in all, I kind of wished I had bought it for myself. I did test it on hardwood floors) and it was a lot of fun. Maybe I'll buy one and we can use the infrared stuff.
