Max on Alpha is 6k rpm, was using on sand, didnt take the air out of the tires, I had them at 35 psi. Ill use 4hi locked now. Thanks for helping me.

 

Let a bunch of air out of those tires!!!! For sand use 4hi lock, turn off the StabiliTrack. Tires should be less than 20 psi, I run mine at 15 psi.
When you run with street pressure, you are working the engine much harder. Sand also saps power, power makes heat!

Get a little compressor and check it out aired down.................like night and day.

 

That's like hitting your own leg with a sledgehammer and wondering if it's normal that your bones broke.......
