It depends on what RC you have... A Comp Crawler? A Wraith?
And how much power you have to put on the ground.

For loose sand, you will need power and speed!

Ive never had issues with pitbulls here in loose stuff. Cut claws also work real good. You need decent wheel speed for both though.

In my experiences, nothing really grabs on to gravel or super loose rock. It's so skaty and loose, it gives way so easily, that finding traction is a chore. That said, you'll have to resort to the tried and true method of "Pin it to win it".

Yup! I was just out running my rig with a pro4 3300 on 3s in the sand with sx's on it and it was a wheel speed game 100%.

Sand is just like mud- it's all about momentum to get through it.
