beach suspension set up?

I'm going to the beach soon with my BL rusty. :intello: Would a soft or hard suspension be best? I would think soft, to soak up all the bumps, but I could be wrong. :lol:

soft for certain at the beach, a hard suspension will just bounce across the bumps. When I had my rusty it saw alot of beach use.

What oil/spring/piston set up did you find that worked the best for you?

I ran one of my cars at the beach and had a blast until a few weeks later when everything that was chrome or not aluminum started to rust. I just about had to rebuild the whole car. How do you prevent this or do you have just one car for the beach?

I'm going to a fresh water lake anyways so I dont have to worry about that. :na:
