I agree, It's not caused me any problems! Have a nice day!

Maybe TFC thinks it is a disadvantage?

Check the Morroco video: 110 in sand, no problem.
D3s in sand: takes a few goes, end definately ploughing sand.

For most it will not be an issue, but it is anoying for many.

Weight is the D3s biggest problem in sand, it probably weights a tonne more than the 110 The End
