Default Titan+Sand=????

Well in a while I'm going to the beach and taking my new Titan (LiftKit, AWD, S2) and wondering: will the sand screw my xmod up????

Well I took it to the beach on the wet sand and it was AWESOME, but when I put it on the dry sand it got stuck in a matter of seconds and sand got everywhere. So it took my 3 hours to disassemble the entire truck, clean it out with air from my dads compressor, lube it and put it back together. Now she is as clean as she was the first day I got her.

iv taken my hummer in sand many many times, dry sand too. nothing has every screwed up yet except i some sand got stuck on the servo lube and the servo couldnt go side-to-side but i easily cleaned that, also my on/off switch was so jammed up with sand i couldnt turn it off i always had to take out the batteries when i wasnt using it. i finally ceaned out all the sand and now it works fine too, these little trucks can take ALOT of abuse.
