mine took about 1.5-2 hrs in slow mode. got my x stuck for the first time the other day to on the beach. the x did fine until i tried to pull out some numb nuts who came out in his fwd only escape. he didn't understand how he got stuck or that when i pulled he needed to gas it. buried myself but it was fun digging out. luckly i carry a folding shovel. one day in the far off future i would like to get an exhaust jack. supposed to be good on sand.
