Cool Stuck in the sand -

Buried the Cruiser in wet sand this weekend -

Has anyone ever had sand get in between the rotors and pads - it seems to have chewed up my pads -

Hasn't happened to me, but I could see the sand grinding them down. I would check the seals and bearings, too.

Jeff,

I can't believe you got that thing stuck!

Although it hasn't happened to me. I know that the sand would act like sandpaper. And after going through THREE times might have helped to degrade the system.

Hope everything works out o.k.

I had a similar thing happen with Texas clay getting in slotted rotors. What a loud mess until I cleaned it out!
