Like another user said, its like trying to run in knee deep water. The grass sticks up and adds a lot of resistance, so you're drawing a much higher load when running across it. The larger the diameter of your tires, the better it can deal with it. Monster trucks can handle grass better than the smaller cars, but it still makes for hotter motors and shorter run times.
