Gelände

"Now I'm really confused.

First, Edith talks about "Automarke," but this is a tank.

Then, Ellen says "driving," but this is an RC model. You run, operate or steer it usually. If you use "drive" in such cases, it's mostly in the passive voice (can be driven, etc.).

Third, the question's incorrectly parsed, IMO, but I assume aykon doesn't want to battle this one out with a moderator. "richtig im Gelände" = out there in BFE where you need to keep your wits about you.

This here is titled "Richtig im Gelände" and that is exactly what it means in German (starting at around 2:00 minutes):

And over hill and dale? Isn't that a bit too "scenic" for a tank? Almost the same reason why I don't really like off-road. I mean what's the main purpose of a tank, model or not? To cause a traffic jam in the inner city?"

Still think this is a good option (for the glossary).

in this context, Björn, as I read it, is more of an expletive (really, truly) than a modifier (actually) > You can, you know, you can drive our models, I mean really drive them over terrain/anywhere and everywhere/over hill and dale, that's what fascinates me about/I find fascinating in/the fascination of building models for me, cuz, what just stands still isn't a model to me, I mean, it's a nice model, it's nice to look at, but I want to see it drive.
I'd opt for the last version.

I like Edith's suggestion (terrain), considering this is a tank and the word is quite commonly used in a military context (model or no model); maybe "in any terrain" instead of a plural.

Here, "richtig fahren im Gelände" means that you can go some place, any place, and run the model.

An example:
"The large tires and streamlined body is perfect for any terrain."

If you want to, you can combine both terms:
"It’s highly versatile in the terrain it can handle, as it can go from pavement to off-road terrain, even if the terrain is wet or covered in snow."

Or:
"The high ground clearance, fully independent suspension, and wide wheelbase allow for excellent maneuverability and stability over any rough and rocky terrain."

So you could just say "no matter how rocky and rough the terrain is" or similar. "everywhere" on its own wouldn't cut it for me because of "richtig."
