Whenever it's loose stuff your in then the heat is going to get you cause the high rpm so becareful stay at no more than half throttle and you'll do ok but still check your heat even electric tend to get hot in the sand but if you got some common sense you'll be ok. Paddle tires will really make it heat up cause the load is heavy with all traction mounted on.:rolleyes:

NK,
When you say spinout, do you mean doing doughnuts?
Do you have excessive wheelspin to one of your drive wheels?
If you do, and it happens frequently, you'll eventually toast your spider gears in your diffs.
As the wheel spins wildly, the spider gears are forced to spin violently and absorb the load of the spinnng wheel.
Prolonged full throttle under these conditions will wear out the spider gears quickly.
