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?

RE: Gravel....
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

RE: Gravel....
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
