Sure you can run in the sand. Just make sure that the air filter is on real tight with a zip tie. Also if your reciever is exposed you may want to cover it up good, but other than that you are good to go. Just make sure that you clean your rig real well after your done.

shouldn't be a problem. Like godale said, make sure your air filter is on good and when you are done clean, clean, clean!! Sand will eat up bearings in a hurry.

I found this to be true as well.... Cleaning your rig after a day bashing is one of the most important PM tasks you can do to your RC. Have a blast my friend.

yeah that's the first thing I was taught. Never grab a dirty buggy and head out for a day of racing or bashing. I don't always clean it right when I get home but it does get a good cleaning and fresh air filter before it rolls again. I usually try and clean it within a day or two though. :thumbup:
