ill be honest BAD IDEA!!!!! the salt water will screw u your electronics BAD! then the sand can get in your motor and SHRED the wired around the armature. and if u ger n e sand in your gears they will strip.

sand won't strip your gears, all u gotta do is water proof your electrics with ballons, and put a screen over the holes on your motor so no sand gets in,

yea but sometimes you can overheat your motor doing that and it may catch fire and yes sand WILL knock teeth off your spur gear if you dont believe me go take your truck out in the sand.

o its not. well i was tripping about the salt water because salt water deposites could get in the motor and cause it to rust but still i would stay away from it.

Rustler, just make sure u waterproof your electronics and don't let the truck site in the water too long and u should be ok. Oh yeah and don't drive in the snad too much.
