I've run mine on the beach before. Just do the same thing as it you were running your 1:1 on the beach. Good clean with fresh water and then lube well. Thats it. |

I live a couple blocks from the beach and my buddies and me some times bash at the beach, no problems at all with them, just wash it down with fresh water to get the salt off then quickly air hose it down to get the water off, do not drive it into the water at the beach obviously.
