Have you got paddles yet? I am thinking about just running them in the rear to keep more of the sand behind. I bet it will rooster something fearce.
I went with Panthers cause they got bigger scoops.

I haven't got them yet. Just ordered them yesterday. I have lot's of sand as well since I live by the bay. Should be here in a week or less.
I found that on my YZ250 that until I was on the gas and digging in, paddles were terrible. You were like hopping along and the bike felt like it was all over the place. The twist the throttle and let the magic begin. I was the fastest thing out there until I dropped into a valley and landed on my head (hard to tell when your railing, about a 15 ft drop, ooof!). Braking was a touchy subject as well. Grab a handful of front brake and, WHAM!
I ran with regular (Tmaxx stock) tires and had a blast as well. Not much roost but ton-o-fun. Beaches have a lot of really cool obstacles

tear down the truck regularly and check for wear and clean it out.
sand sneeking into the wheel hub can give you a suprise later on if not caught soon enough.
I would try to seal up as much of the truck I could. maybe even as far as getting "boots" for the drive shafts and stuff (esp shocks) to keep the grit out. and shield the clutch bell. thats another area were a tiny bit of sand can make your life interesting real quick.
