Default Gravel....

Hey guys, I was wondering since i live in some gravel if I could drive my car in it or would it mess it up. My main thing I'm worried about is my steel gears, I payed a lot for those and I dont want to trash em, In case u needed to know I have an XTM Mammoth. So would it be safe, would it eat up my gears?

yes you can run in gravel its very rare to get a stone jammed in the gears they spin so fast most stones just bounce off them

its also great fun to wheel spin gravel into the boot / trunk of your mates car
be carefull no to hit him though theyd take his eye out lol

you have 8mans gears? not that it matters but you have nothing to worry about with steel gears and gravel. as long as they are at least a mildly hard steel, they will eat up any gravel that does get in them and spit it out as smaller gravel. have fun
