Sand vs power steps

[90Addict]

Have the RC eboards and was wondering if anyone has had problems with sand getting into the moving parts of motors? I haven't had an issue yet but plan on taking my twin girls to drive on beaches a bunch this year. And tips on cleaning or keeping the sand out of motors? I've heard of some people saying their steps started to get a grinding noise due to sand/dirt/salt

I don't drive on beaches but most of my surf fishing spots I park on deep sand so there's some driving in it. Never had an issue but I have the Mopar power steps.

I take mine to the beach all the time, spray them down when you get home

Lithium Grease from time to time.

You might want to look into greasing up your front half-shaft splines.

Because of sand as well? That would be the front axel type things? Lol... No mechanic over here just a pipefitter/welder

Mainly due to our salty and humid mid-Atlantic climate.
