I am about to order a set of Pro-Line paddle tires with matching fronts (the ones with the single huge fin) to run at the area beaches. What I was wondering is if there is anything special I could/should do with my spring and shock setup to run in the sand. My truck is the RC10GT RTR Plus. I have the stock shock/spring setup in the toolbox, with a set of Evader shocks (all fronts-oops, but works well in parking lots) with medium front/stiff rear springs installed on the truck. Just looking fo max fun in the sand.

Thanks in advance-
Shaun

if you stiffen the rear ( thicker oil ) you will get some awesome wheelies but there should be so much grip dont worry about it.

I would advise against it because it will be very harsh on the truck. Be careful with sand it will tear your truck and engine apart. IF you really want to then make sure you run an air and fuel filter and make sure they are good ones. Cover the reciever and try to cover the outdrives they make a special cover at rc10gthobby.com or melt some heatshrink over them. Clean it very well after you run it by taking it apart somewhat, check the bearings because i'm sure sand will get in there and eat them up.

Not too worried about the engine-just gives me a reason to upgrade. :lol: I have a fuel filter and quality air filter already. Also ordering the RPM receiver box and MIP CVD's at the same time. I also am ordering spare bearings for eerything. I basically just bash with this truck and know that I am going to start tearing that stuff up. In regards to tearing stuff up, and buying parts to keep that from happening, does anyone know where I can find a cover for the clutch bell and spur gear? Knock on wood, but I am the only one of my friends who has not torn up a spur gear yet, and I don't want to start anytime soon.

hi i run mine on sand at beach and .what i did was raise the chassis as high as i could and as stiff as you can . 80wt all 4 shocks red springs and 1/2 inch of preloads use what you want this set up works for me ps seal up radio gear good sand can find its way into very small holes ...and for wheelies no its called a rooster tail lol And our sand in erie pa. is more like gravel not the soft ocean sand on the coast lines

Bump.

It's getting closer to that time of year around here. I also had a question about tires. I have seen the Pro-line Mohawk fronts with the matching paddle rears, but is there anything out there better? cheaper?

dannthenitroman diff oil the rc10gt has no diff oil dee dee dee

dannthenitroman 80 wt is good for dumpy sand

He made no mention of diff oil? He was clearly talking about the rear shocks.

i see that now sorry lol
