Is the SG116MAX durable enough for frequent off-road driving?

I plan to run this car mainly on gravel trails and dirt fields. Can the SG116MAX handle rough off-road terrain without losing stability?

The platform is specifically engineered for diverse terrain thanks to its rugged 1:16 chassis and 4WD driveline. Reviewing the detailed specifications on SG116MAX 1:16 Brushless 4WD RC Car shows that the power distribution between the front and rear axles prevents wheel spin during hard launches on loose dirt. The brushless powertrain provides consistent torque, making it remarkably stable whether you are drifting on gravel or racing on smooth pavement.

It handles dirt tracks and short grass very well. The 4WD system keeps it straight even when punching the throttle.
