Default Driving my T maxx on the beach?

Does it matter if I drive it on the beach? We are going on vacation in a couple of months, and just wanted to make sure that the sand won't hurty anything? I am pretty sure it won't...but just wanted to make sure...

no, it wont harm the engine as long as u have a good air filter, ur only problem would be if the air filter got blocked and not enuff air would be getting into the engine, other than that u should be fine

paddle tires are awesome, if u run em on street it sounds funny, but they will definitely give u the best traction

Default driving on the beach

hay daaaaaan,
i live in long beach ca and drive on the beach all the time. the t-maxx will handle anything you throw at it. and you dont need to buy new tires for it the stock tires work just fine. all you is to do is change the tires from the left side to the right and vise-versa, so the tred is backwords. it is just like a paddle tires.

you need to clean and regrease all the bearings. The sand gets stuck to the grease and works like grinding compound. It also may get jammed in the spur gear and get stuck in the clutch bell. Just clean everthing after you run.
