will this actually be able to drive on sand? I need it for an engineering project which involves driving on sand

Depending on witch way you wire it, the platform can have a significant amount of force behind it. On the down side the default wheels are not the best for grip, so they tend to slide on certain surfaces. I suggest adding a new pair of treads to the wheels if you need it to operate on sand. If you have any more questions please ask them.

It will work as well as a bike through sand... so you can imagine it being a pain...we've never done it and probably won't, but if we did, you would probably need to let some air out of the tires for better traction.

I think it would work fine on a beach, if you have long enough stakes to drive deep enough into the sand. But the one I bought would take up an awful lot of room on a public beach.

I've used in on hard sand but don't know about a blow sand situation.....please check my review of the product. I have not yet been able to get the wobble out of the wheels but haven't had much time to try yet

Ehh if you stay down by the water in the harder sand you should be fine. It has hard plastic wheels like the little tikes wagon. Also I would attach the handle to the front so you are pulling your child rather then pushing. Hope that helps.

I have taken it on sand. It moves fine, but I have it connected to a bike, which isn't so easy to ride in sand. Normally I hop off of the bike and just walk it and have never had an issue with the cart getting stuck.

I'm not sure if the wheels are adaptable to beach sand. It goes across my front yard with grass but the beach might have too many obstacles. Try it and it might or might not work.

I haven't used it over sand but the wheels are hugh and turn smooth so I wouldn't think there would be a problem over sand. I think you will enjoy it on sand.

I wish I could help you, but we only used it on snow. But I would think it would work on hard packed sand.

I can't imagine that they'd be great in sand. They have these little "spikes" on the bottom that are designed to work in hard-pack snow. They've never worked that well in loose snow for my car. I think to be good in sand they would need much longer traction devices on the bottom.

In the dirt with the Traxxas stock tires, the truck works great! It gives you just enough slip to slide around and have fun while maintaining control. As far as the sand, I bought sand paddle tires to drive on the beach. They really worked wonders. The treads on the stock tires don't have deep enough treads for traction. As a precaution, if you happen to drive on the beach, make sure you take care of your motor or it will burn out.

I dont have sand here but it has large wheels but they are not fat. It could be a chore pulling through deeploose sand.

I did not use it on the beach. The beach wheelchairs I have seen have different type wheels. If the sand is compact enough as in a dirt trail, it may work.

I think not. It will probably roll nicely on wet packed sand, but would get bogged down in dry sand. Either way, I don't want to risk sand in the wheels and fittings causing wear and malfunction.

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

I really don't know. It has bigger inflated tires so it might work in sand.

It moves nicely over any terrain . I wouldn't take it over really deep soft sand though. Tires too narrow. A great folding cart though.
