+1, motor saver is the filter to have on any nitro.

I ran my MAXX at the beach and didnt encounter any problams, ran a motor saver filter and checked the rig often for buildup and a missing filter.

Make sure to clean, inspect and lube all your external bearings (axles, wheels, etc) after running on sand also. Fine grains of sand will wreak havoc on them in short order.

Actually sand is hella fun with big power and some paddles, just know you have a lot of clean up ahead of you so make the most of it, no different than running in the mud and muck.

Sand is really fun to run in.

Get you one of these, http://www.motorsaver.com/truck.htm or just the outersaver http://www.motorsaver.com/os1400.htm , and do a thorough after run cleaning of the entire truck.

About 1/2 the running I do is in sand, & maintenance is the key to keeping the truck happy.
