Hiya Derek. Oh yes these are the sort of video I really like doing. Cheers for watching mate. Best wishes 😁👍👍

That little Beetle gets around pretty good with those sand paddles on! And that beach is such a great spot for filming RC's, so much great terrain to rip up, very well done, Pete!

Hiya Fil. I know you are a fan of this little chassis and with the paddle tyres and brushless set I think it's even better. Yes the beach is great and rather conveniently near my house. Best at this time of year when there aren't loads of holidaymakers getting in the way! Cheers for watching mate. Best wishes to you 😁👍

Very good video Pete thank you👍🇫🇷🙂

THAT WAS EPIC..... It would appear that the MF-01X chassis is really suited for the beach.

Very Well Done Sir 👍 Its a big thumbs up from me 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@@PeteWylieRC Unfortunately, I don't have one of these as I usually wrap them up and give them away ☹️ but I will get one and slip a brushless combo in it and lob some chunky tyres on ready for an outing to the beach one day 👍 I'll be catching up with you soon in time for your pre-birthday surprise 👍

That’s the reason I take all the 1150 bearings out of my crawlers and use the plastic tamiya bushes instead .not had one problem with bearing failure since and they have lasted for two years up to now on my main crawler that’s used in mud and water daily

@PeteWylieRC

Yeah I think it is a good plan for a beach runner to use those plastic bushings. This one had been built previously with bearings by the previous owner but if this is staying as a beach car I might put some bushings in.

Yeah it did well considering it's got about 1cm of travel on the shocks. Also the tyres are a bit bouncy but they do plough through the sand. Many thanks indeed for watching and your great feedback 😁👍👍

Effin Ell mate! That was an action packed RC rip if ever I saw one!!! 😮😮 Love it! Now you are giving me some MF01X modification ideas, I want some of that fun, the chassis seems to run much better in general on those bigger paddles and the power plant gives it plenty of punch. Suits you Sir! Great edit and soundtrack, a "proper" Pete Wylie RC like off the old days! Happy Sunday, all the best mate! 🤗🤗👌👌👍👍

Hiya matey. Oh yes I've probably said before that really I would just like to do this sort of video on KZread but as you know, these days you need to get involved with how to's and reviews. Yes you've already got some of these tyres haven't you so you could easily do something like this with your MF-01x. I do think you need the extra power on the soft sand so brushless is good. I've had a VW camper body donated too so once I've worked out how to fit that on this chassis then there will be more beach based fun. Cheers for your great feedback as ever. Hope Sunday is going well for you. Best wishes 😁👍👍

Delightful mate! What an awesome edit Pete, an absolute masterpiece of videography there. 👌 Loving the sun in the background shimmering off the sea, some beautiful layering of scenery. The beetle looked great in action, dicing with the waves, bouncing over the cobbles, pounding the rocks and churning up the sand trails! 👌 Love it! What beach was this bud? I used to take my midnight pumpkin to Southbourne, and a place called Leap I think? Southbourne had gorgeous sands and huge waves, and Leap was more stoney if I remember right.... the eighties were a long time ago! Bet you had a major clean up on your hands after this one man?! 👍 👍 👍

Hiya James. Oh yeah I was waiting for a day when the tide was out and so was the sun and this was it. I've got the So & So boys to thank for the idea of these tyres on a MF-01X. It's surprisingly good but yes a cleanup was required and I think it will always have sand in the crevices. This is Southbourne beach going towards Hengistbury head. It's good because it's beyond the prom and there are sand dunes to blast over. Cheers for your great feedback as ever my friend. Very best wishes to you 😁👍👍

And yes, those tyres worked a treat, that thing was right at home! Hengistbry head is gorgeous, I always wanted to buy one of those beach huts.... that is until I enquired into how much they cost! 😱🤑 I love the cliff top walk down to the beach with the little train line running through it, from up above on a bright day the sea looks so blue that you could be mistaken for being abroad! I also love Mudeford..... so many good places to RC out your way, you're very lucky matey! Really must get back out that way for a visit, spent so much of my childhood in that area..... It's like a second home! Keep up the great work fella. 😊 👍 👍 👍

Well I have to say that initially it just got put back on the shelf, sand and all 😬 I've since given it a blast with the air blower and a bit of WD40. One thing I've discovered is that a couple of the tyres had come away from the rims and got full of sand. I tried the trusty method of boiling them to get the tyres off and the wheels melted to a non round shape. Moral of the tale is to make sure the tyres are really properly glued! Cheers for watching 😁👍👍
