If I put the Raptor through the beach,would it get stuck in deep sand,because its not like it has the ground clearance of the dirkbike,its actually really low with skid plates.And how hard is it to get free when stuck.
Ive tried it on the normal sand on the beach(fun!!!),but there are some parts where the sand is different(more loose,deeper,softer/will sink more when standing on it) and I didnt go there just in case,what would happen?
P.S : I dont have paddle tires or any mods.

 

Anybody?

 

If you get stuck with paddles, you are gonna dig anyway. Hop on and go for it!

 

I had no paddles for a year when I first purchased my ATV's and all ways ran them in all kinds of sand. Everyone gets stuck, with or without paddles sometimes. It just depends on how you take off and ride.

 

Exactly, its how you ride, if your riding real slow in soft sand and you go up a hill, when you reach the tip, one of your tires might tip into. So its not the matter of your tires, its just how you ride.

 

Well in the sand i have only ridden dirt bikes,the wheels being pretty tall dont get stuck unless the front really digs into the sand,so with the quad I was worried about the rear-end ground clearance...if it gets stuck,what the best thing to do? Lift the rear-end and pull into a different position? Rock the quad whilst accelarating?
If its just a matter of not going to slow I can handle that...lol!
Thank for the replys...

 

YOur going to be amazed at how much better a quad is in sand than a bike is.

 

If you lose momentum on a hill you're done. Lift the rear end and go down the hill and try again. Other than that quads float on sand alot better than skinny tire dirt bikes. Just dont get too much wheel spin at low speed and you'll be fine. Speed is life, roll in hard and fast keep tone and run with it.

 

Exactly, if you lose your momentum, turn back and give it another shot, if you screw up, in sand your most likely to wreck. So turn back and avoid the wreck.
