If you are seriously wanting to run in sand the best clutch would be an Elcon clutch, you can get one here;

Be sure and get the titanium clutch plate for an additional $19 to make a great clutch set up.

You will also need a steel clutch bell, I use the bell from Turtle Racing, I use the Blue bell it's faster you can get it here;

I would also recommend a clutch cover, there are a few on the market now, personnaly I would get this one;

But there are also these available;
