Been a while since I've looked at this thread so I thought I'd update a little bit. This truck is still running great. I still love it and will never get rid of it. I had my Ten-Te to the beach a few weeks ago and we'll be heading to another beach this weekend. I think I'm taking the LX2e with me this time for some more sandy fun. Since the fan on the Ten-Te ESC locked up from the sand I might try to put some screen over the ESC fan on the LX2e. Although the sand will likely still get through. Does anyone have any solution for that issue?
