im waiting on a tmaxx that is in the mail....

i wanted to take it with us on vacation to the beach in NC.. outter banks...

my local HS guy said if i take it to the beach i will basically need to throw it away when done...
but someone else told me that if i have anodized things. it is like sandblasting... other than that i will kill the bearings... then told to get double sided sealed bearings..

so will i be ok or just dont take it????
