That seems like a perfect Spot for the Grasshopper.

 

I like to drive mine on a flad Road with a 1cm layer of Sand. thats the mos perfect surface for my Hopper.
On my Gardentrack (very bumpy grass) it doesn`t make any fun because it is to "hoppy", but on a flat Sandy Ground i love the Grasshopper and its characteristics.

That's exactly how I use my GH, on a local baseball field that isn't used often.  Anywhere else and the tires/suspension flat out don't work.  In grass the suspension is too bouncy, and on the road the rear tires provide zero grip.  Great fun on loose dirt though.  I ended up putting the stock 380 motor back in mine since it was nearly uncontrollable with the 540 and stock tires.  The stock paddles look great, but are pretty poor performers.

Yeah the ball fields are perfect for all the hopper style buggies they run awesome in them!

Yes they are great in the ball fields, You should try the kyosho scorpion adaptors I has ampro engineering make that lets you use the scorpions rear wheels and soft tires on the hopper chassis buggies they make them run much better and smoother a bit because the tires are soft with foams in them... check out my other videos that I show the part and run them.
