Definitely is demanding. I've noticed it with my Rustler VXL as well. I had it setup to get great temps on the street and around the house. I threw on some Sand Paws and dropped 2 teeth on the pinion and hit the sand. My temps were out of control.

I'm pretty sure its do to the uncontrollable spinning of tires in the sand, creating a no load on the motor effect. Its fun but I have to watch the temps and time of my runs.
I recently set it up with a Neu 1509/1.5D and MMM. Temps are unbelievably cool on the street and around the house. So I'm curious how it will work with the Sand Paws on the beach.

One suggestion is to seal up those Paddles. Make sure no sand can get into the wheels.
