the reason you don't see them on hard packed dirt is because they are essentially useless on it, due to their small size and tires (tyres). Literally they will spin out with almost zero input even on a roll on the throttle. My micro DT with the stock motor, middle gearing and the 180mah lipo from Losi will turtle spin like mario 3 on asphalt if I get silly with the throttle or turn hard at any speed.

I have found that for these to be any fun, burber carpet or upside down carpet works the best.. put some towels under and build jumps.. then kiss your day goodbye because youll spend the rest of it playing with your micro DT. Its a blast when you have the right track setup..

I pulled everything out of my rather large living room/dining room area (25x20ft at its largest) and put down two 8x12 area rugs, upside down.. and four strips of 15x4 carpet, inbetween them.. invited friends over who had the micro T and DTs and it stayed like that for two weeks..

..much to the wifeys dismay.
