    Taking the Tamiya Aqroshot to the Beach
    How will this DT03T Chassis handle the sands?
    Why do I think this model is not as good as others in the Tamiya Range
    Did we lose the Chief Engineer to the Sea?
    Did he drown or did he wash up on an Alaskan Beach and now working in a Fish Head Factory?

    Thank God we didn't loose the Chief at sea, youtube would never be the same again! 🙏
    But boy, he had a workout there didn't he?
    Highly amusing hearing the sniggering from behind the camera throughout the whole ordeal!
    That beach in the intro reminded me of the 'old grey whistle theft' episode of Father Ted.....a vast open expanse of windy, desolate, grey wastelands! 😂
    As for the aquashot, got to be honest, it's not really a car that
    'floats my boat' if you pardon the pun!! 😉
    Great video guys! 👍 👍 👍

      I think he did more exercise that day than he had all year! I watched the Father Ted Christmas Special last night, I think the bleakness is just right on that show, maybe it’s good there are not that many episodes, like Fawlty Towers. The Aqroshot is a miss for me 🤔👍

      Ah yes, now that's a classic!
      The largest lingerie section in Ireland, the mysterious Tod Unctious, and Mrs Doyles automated tea machine..... such a funny episode!
      Think my favourite bit was when they left father Jack in child care and he got the kids saying "Drink, Feck, arse, Girls!"

      Blitzer Beetle is by far such a better drive than the Aqroshot, it’s a great buggy, I think we will switch the wheels on the Aqroshot 👍

    Jeez! You guys were out in a hurricane running the RCs around!! Chief Engineer should have just unzipped his coat and he could have flown over to it much faster! LOL! I 100% agree the tries on these are only for decoration only and are basically useless. The kit should have come with the Blitzer Beetle tires on it and it would have done much better. It would have looked cooler too! I am very happy to know that the Chief Engineer was not lost to the sea and neither was the body shell!!

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Před 7 měsíci

      Yes e nearly lost both to the global trash vortex. It was a bit grim out there, but we do what we can for footage. Completely agree this should have blitzer wheels with it, as the ones it comes with are papp! 🤣😂👍

    I've never been on a beach as windy as Talacre! We stayed there in 2022 for a rugby tour at Bethesda, and lost a rugby ball on the beach. Blown away so fast, none of us could catch it. Such a stunning beach though.
    I've been thinking about an Aqroshot as a friend keeps going on about his. Looked like fun in the sand!! I might have to get one now. 😅

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Oof yes it’s a tad blustery at that beach, I guess that ball has washed up in Liverpool or Fiji now!
      If you do go for an Aqroshot I would recommend getting some Blitzer wheels for it, as this would increase the fun greatly! 👍

    Ha the Chief Engineer got a bit of a workout there 🤣 Anyway I'm sure others have said that you need Blitzer tyres on this and then it will be epic, even with a fast brushless set. Worth having those road tyres for tarmac although they aren't even very good on that. Glad you caught the body shell 😁👍👍

    • @RCsoandso

    Down Under we CAN get those tyres working, by putting them on a 4wd car, and using it on the tarmac/concrete in the middle of a hot sunny summer's day, when the road/driveway/carpark etc surface temperature is 65C+, after a few burnouts to get the heat into them, they almost drive in a straight line...😂 almost....

Love you guys but watching this is depressing in 2023 used to love Tamiya but now after playing with other brands and what you get for the money by the time you have paid for bearings and oil filled shocks that should come as standard in 2023 is it worth it?
