Tamiya Sand Rover on a lazy Day at the Beach

Tamiya Sand Rover 2011 on a journey on a beach. Location: Atlantic Ocean, France, La Terrière

[@joliousvideous]

Perfect add for Tamiya - I can't help cringing when you are driving through the salt water though - Great Video..

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, the salt water :-( but the fun was good and the buggy still working (with some rusty screws :-)

[@theharvester9683]

Omg I had one of these when I was about 14/15 loved it . Great video by the way

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Sure some good memories coming back... 👍😊

[@TeamIngel]

Sommer, Sonne, Sand Rover! Sehr schön geworden, da passt einfach Alles!

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank, schön das zu hören!

[@chrishardey1628]

Lazy days indeed, nice soothing tamiya goodness :)

[@Matteomeier]

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, the summer holidays! Thanks for your nice comment!

[@gifa01fly]

Absolutely lovely! Oh damn, now I need a Sand Rover! Just bought Wild One so I'm waiting the tamiya parcel! Ciao.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! Wild One is very nice! Sure you have tons of fun with, and the Sand Rover would be a great addition to it :-)

[@TheTata71]

Thanks for the video...the Sand Rover was my first RC car...a long time ago, I think in 1981. I loved this car.

[@Matteomeier]

I'm glad, my video bring back good old memories! Thanks for your nice comment!

[@matoctaneart5831]

Awesome video Matteo 👍🏻

[@justme8845]

The drivers of your vehicles have probably been to more locations than a lot of people! Excellent video yet again :)

[@Matteomeier]

Just Me Yes, they have to travel a lot! It's a condition for them to be under contract with me. :-)

[@justme8845]

Lol ... I understand that. I see mine as pets that don't eat, don't mess up the home and come back when you want them to :p

[@musikomax]

I love the way youre filming, the angles of the camera are so great!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you, glad you like it!

[@matthiashausel9390]

Nice car, weather, location, music... Typical matteo :-) Great!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks, nice to read your comment!

[@vialatteawrekodara]

i like it! the best parts are 0:26 (looks very realistic) and 2nds from video ending when you decided to slides and drifts.. i always like speed offroad actions and yours is so entertaining

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you for the nice comment! Glad you like it!

[@Tamor70]

Ja, Gelegenheiten immer richtig nutzen ! Sehr schönes Video und wunderbare beach location....lucky man! BG, Daniel

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank Daniel! Ja, hätte gern noch ein wenig mehr Zeit gehabt zum Filmen, aber hat dann doch noch ein kurzes Filmchen gegeben!

[@4mods]

What a great plate to boot! Love it.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Terry!

[@paulmcnamara16]

As always cool RC and awesome camera angles. Well done top job loved it

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks a lot, nice to read your words!

[@Del350K4]

i enjoyed that very much. I wish I could get tracking shots this tight and this smooth.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you, nice comment!

[@rcfanaticd.garcia6393]

¡Genial! Me he divertido con este video . Bonita playa y mi coche de Tamiya favorito.

[@Matteomeier]

Gracias! 🙏

[@nkohalarcbashing2510]

Thanks for another great vid. Keep'em coming.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you for the comment!

[@hollyhillrc]

This is a great video my friend. I have just got a Street Rover, but also I bought some chrome Carson All Terrain wheels for off road use. Big Thumbs up : ))

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! Have fun with yours!

[@WestCoastRC]

Such amazing camera work!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your compliment!

[@RCShowdown]

Absolut traumhaft!! =) ein wunderschönes Video! :):):) Ich wünschte, mein DT02 würde so schön fahren... aber mit den standard Dämpfern wird das nie was ^^

[@Matteomeier]

+RC Showdown Danke! Hätte dort gerne noch etwas länger gefilmt, aber ich war geschäftlich in Frankreich und konnte am Sonntag den Ausflug zum Atlantik machen. Die Zeit zum Filmen war deshalb sehr beschränkt.

[@RCShowdown]

***** Haha das kenne ich nur zu gut! =D Das musste ich beim letzten Dreh in Frankreich selber feststellen..... ;) Aber das Ergebnis gibt's morgen zu sehen! :):) ;)

[@Matteomeier]

RC Showdown Super freu mich schon drauf!

[@RCShowdown]

***** Schön zu hören! =) :) Einen wunderschönen Abend noch!:)

[@Monty.1963]

einfach Geil Tip Top Danke!

[@Matteomeier]

Danke fürs Feedback! 👍😊

[@JaxTellerRC]

Another fantastic Video, love em, keep em coming (:

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your comment!

[@Natural-born-crawler]

Super Video! Deine Kameraführung ist der Hammer

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank, freu mich über deinen Kommentar!

[@rcprojectable]

Great day at the beach!

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, it was nice there! Thanks for your comment!

[@scalerc4x4]

I loved the video Matteo. Looks perfect at the beach. =]

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Tybo, for a long time I wished to go to a beach for filming. Now, I had to work for two weeks closer to the sea and on the weekend I grab the chance!

[@rolexr]

Das Verfolgen mit der Kamera kommt so klasse - wie immer 1a Video Matteo. Und die Musik passt auch komplett!

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank für den schönen Kommentar, freu mich immer wenn's gefällt!

[@mullesmagasin5244]

Realy nice movie :)

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you!

[@0706666]

Ich sag nur "Grenzgeil " wie all Deine Filme !!!

[@Matteomeier]

Und ich sag nur "Vielen Dank"!

[@Jurgentaur]

Im sure you had a fun time cleaning the buggy afterwards😅👍

[@Matteomeier]

Always! 😂😂

[@bel_976]

Matteo, you make the best RC videos!

[@Matteomeier]

Oh! What a great compliment! Thank you!

[@marcovandevelde]

Very very nice and inspiring video! I want one...

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your nice feedback Marco! 🙏😊

[@marcovandevelde]

@@Matteomeier Hi Matteo, I'm always wondering how you make these awesome movies, especially the close-up follow-the-car bits. Do you use a follow-me drone, another car or simply a long camera stick? Maybe you can do a how-to movie?

[@Matteomeier]

Marco van de Velde Hey Marco, I have the camera on a stick and hold it down, while walking beside the car! It’s simple as that!

[@marcovandevelde]

@@Matteomeier Thanks for sharing, that is even more impressive! Btw: It's totally your fault that I've just bought a traxxas Defender...

[@gicab045]

Nice, I love rc on the beach ;)

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, me too, a lot of fun! Thanks for your comment!

[@ManiadeRC]

Very good Matteo's!!!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you!

[@superrc2420]

Great video and car I've always wanted a dt-02 but haven't got me one of them yet.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@FrankygoestoHobbywood]

schönes Video, ich mußte es gleich 2x ansehen! ;-)

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank! Freut mich das es so gut gefallen hat!

[@BuoyEngine]

Nice relaxing RC video and beautiful beach!! and it is good to hear the wave sound～～～ here is a new place for your video is it？

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, it was a new place for me, enjoyed every minute there. I was for working in France, and on the weekend I went to the beach. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!

[@Tamiya8584]

Such a smooth video Matteo. Next time, come to the south of the country and drive with me and ***** :)

[@Matteomeier]

Oh yes, very good idea! I am sure we can find beautiful places and play with our Tamiya's!

[@kazacorpora]

ok , i'll come so

[@DocterJones]

Just great! Fun video! Makes me wanna go buy one!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you very much!

[@thestuffz]

I wish I was there!!

[@Matteomeier]

Maybe some time your wish come true!

[@Bastos175]

Nice vid.... May i ask you one thing? After a beach session like this one what kind off maintenance do you make? Do you unbuilt all, clean all and ré-built? Thanks

[@Matteomeier]

No, I'm a bit careless in this, I only rinse the car with fresh water, and a bit of oiling and greasing, that's all.

[@mikerogsch7535]

Das war bestimmt ein toller Tag, den Sand Rover an der Küste zu fahren. Bei dem Video hast du wieder alles richtig gemacht. Klasse! Ich hab dein Kanal abboniert, Video "geliked" und ein Kommentar da gelassen. Hmm, nun ich doch noch ein passendes Auto für mich, da ich mit meinem alten, gepimpten tl-01 Glattbahner nicht wirklich glücklich bin. Ein Tamiya Kit soll es wieder werden. Aber was? Engere Wahl wäre der Bigfoot, Subaru Brat oder der Grasshopper?! Nebenbei hast du noch kein Video vom Grasshopper2, aber evtl. ne Empfehlung für mich?! Bräuchte etwas das sowohl auf Straßen, Feldwege, Rasen und auch mit ein bisschen Acker fertig wird. Weiter so!

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank fürs Abo und Liken! Nun von Tamiya gibts wirklich viele Klassiker. Ich würde etwas mit etwas grösseren Rädern empfehlen, Monsterbeetle oder Blackfoot. Die kommen einfach etwas besser durchs Gelände und machen deshalb viel Spass! 👍😄

[@The52r]

Sehr cool gefilmt 😎✌

[@Matteomeier]

Danke! Habe versucht ein wenig Ferienstimmung einzufangen!

[@fernando427]

Wow nice! What beach is this?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Fernando. It's the Atlantic Ocean, east coast of france, near to La Rochelle 👍👍👍😊

[@Matteomeier]

I meant west coast... 😌😌

[@v6hot]

Love it.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@denny75t]

:-) Video really nice. Too bad I do not have a beach close to home ;-)

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, me too! So, I was happy to getting a chance to filming on a beach! (have to work there)

[@HoboHeaven]

Love it, very cool

[@Matteomeier]

Acehh21 Thank you! Glad you like it!

[@HoboHeaven]

***** Wußte nicht, dass du deutsch sprichst. Baue heute meinen Scorcher fertig.

[@Matteomeier]

Acehh21 Hey super, wünsch dir viel Spass dabei!

[@Gas319]

realy cool video as usual my friend!!! i have Holiday Buggy in same chassis , realy funny cars... :) Ciao

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you, yes these Buggys are funny!

[@dirtyglovercadventures5626]

Great video. What shocks are you running to get the lowered stanch that you have? Mine sits much higher.

[@Matteomeier]

+Dirty Glove RC Adventures Thanks. I have the CVA oil shocks in it. The highness depends on the springs and the preload.

[@khoanuyen1411]

I have no idea how you get such great tracking shots. Do you have another person film while you drive? Do you have a camera mounted on another vehicle that you follow? Tell us your secrets :)

[@Matteomeier]

Khoa Nuyen It's not a big secret! I use a stick, got the camera on it and hold it down while I walk beside the car. I use a GoPro and a Sony HDR CX-730.

[@khoanuyen1411]

***** do you use a gimbal? your panning and tracking shots are very smooth for handheld. I'm inspired to create videos, but I'm more of an FPV person.

[@Matteomeier]

Khoa Nuyen No gimbal, only by hand. Yes, create videos of your things!

[@lawnshedguy]

Another great video. Is the Sand Rover stock?..or are there upgrades on it?

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you, the Sand Rover is equipped with CVA oil shocks and a 540 motor.

[@sabihajavid8134]

Nice one.Check for rusted screws

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, all metall is rusted because of saltwater. Fortunately this rc car is build mostly in plastic!

[@StankoPerko]

Very, very cool.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks bro!

[@dmamuc]

Awsome man! Do you make your videos alone? Really impressed with your close up running shots.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you, yes I do everything alone. Left hand radio, right hand camera!

[@m2steve2m]

love all your videos, please post more any new video on your buriser?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks, I try my best to post videos, but it's not easy, because a lot of work!

[@SWISSRCCHANNEL]

oh hätte ich doch das "Urmodel" nie an die Wand gefahren... Sehr schönes Video! Wo hast du nur den Sound her? Passt genial zum "lazy day" ;)

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank, Musik hole ich meistens auf adiojungle.net, dort kriegt man Musik mit Lizenzen zur weltweiten Verwendung

[@tamiyatoyota9972]

Wie man in deinem Video sieht, macht`s immer wieder Spaß am Strand! Ich bewege meinen CC-01 dort auch am liebsten! Ist die Federung bei deinem Sand Rover orginal oder nachgerüstet? Mach auf jeden Fall weiter so!

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank für dein Lob, die Federung ist mit CVA Oil Shocks von Tamiya nachgerüstet.

[@daperturedan3454]

What are you using for the rolling shots?

[@Matteomeier]

GoPro on a stick and hold it down.

[@bestamerica]

' are both beach buggy and sand rover same chassics, same parts, same gearboxs, same motors... what motor size

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, both are the same chassis and comes with 380 motor. Have to be upgraded for 540 motor.

[@bestamerica]

@@Matteomeier ' big hello M R C M... 380 motor is a not good on this car and not fast / not strong... 540 motor is the best motor on this car... dont use a brushless motor with lipo battery... dont do that

[@Thomas22may]

Super video Matteo, gseht us wies sehr viel spass gmacht hät :D Chan nöd warte zum mit mim RC es bits ufem meer strand/sand ummenand's 'cruisa' :D :D Macht immer i gueti luune zum dini videos z'luege :)

[@Matteomeier]

OH la la, Schwyzerdütsch - super! Jo spass häts gmacht, bis aber vorsichtig mit em Salzwasser, esch cheibe aggressiv! Immer guet spühele nachher mit leitigswasser! Viele dank für din Kommentar!

[@Thomas22may]

***** Als Schwyzer söti ja chöna ;) Ich han scho gseh das salzwasser en RC killer isch, ich wet eh nur de sand duune spass ha, wasser häts gnueg i de Schwitz, haha :D

[@kazacorpora]

great !

[@Matteomeier]

Merci!

[@gongyupapa1610]

Very good

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@82670614]

Hey Matteo I'm new to rc with a second hand holiday buggy recently purchased wonder if you could guide me along this journey of driving?:)

[@Matteomeier]

It exist only one way: Practice, practice and more practice. So, your skills getting better and better...

[@82670614]

***** you know I mean like tuning the car:0

[@Matteomeier]

82670614 Ahh, now I understand! On the Sand Rover I tuned the motor (540) and the shocks (Tamiya CVA oil dampers). I tuned my CC-01, high lift, and TXT-2 too, you can find some videos on my channel.

[@82670614]

***** yeah I do see your videos they are great! My cva shocks on dt02 seems to be really soft will that compromise off road capabilities??

[@Matteomeier]

82670614 I like soft suspensions, they work well! If you like it more harder, you can use harder oil or preload more the spring.

[@HennyJore]

Nice!

[@Matteomeier]

Henny Jore Thanks!

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

How did you waterproof it?

[@Matteomeier]

I use the rubber balloon method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaO8qIeMn7lohM0

[@shahram72]

Oh no! All that saltwater!!!!!

[@Matteomeier]

shahram72 Ohh yes, but with a rinse with sweet water after a ride, it's not a so big problem!

[@walterspindler9739]

Hallo Matteo, sehr schönes Video! Ausgezeichnet gefilmt! Wie/mit was hast Du du die Aufnahmen gemacht?

[@Matteomeier]

Walter Spindler Vielen Dank für dein Lob! Gefilmt habe ich mit einer GoPro und einer Sony HDR CX-730.

This is nice, your Tamiya collection getting bigger….:-)

[@MegaDrsnake]

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@kokia333]

[@desmoboy]

Nice and lazy video. Hopefully did you cleaned your car totally.

[@Matteomeier]

Unfortunately I am a bit careless in this, I only rinse the car with fresh water, now some screws are rusty… :-)

[@acrylator78]

beautiful :D

[@Matteomeier]

acrylator78 Thanks

[@daz1975ify]

Love driving on the beach just a shame there so far away. Roll on summer holidays!!!!

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, far away, In my case 10 hours by car. (had to work near there, so I got the time at the week end)
