in the desert, sand will go in the motor, and the motor will break down, so i really don't know,
you sure don't, that's what an air filter is for,, LOL

I run my cars and trucks in the Dez all the time
a ST/2WD sucks in the sand. No traction. + the sand will mess up the plastic spur gear
and you'll go through tires real fast

Go with a 4WD buggy or monster truck,
You'll have much more fun with the high ground clearance of a MT
and the sand won't be a problem for the metal gears

The desert sand is heavy, unless you run in the sand washes or at the dunes, it's not going to be a problem for the filter either, the dust underneeth is just like any other dry dusty dirt, clean or change the filter when it looks dirty Saying you have to change it every run is a little much. From experiance that's about every 30min of run time, or 5-6 tank fulls, just like running at a dry track

That's why I want to get the new XTM MAMMOTH ST
