increased wear and tear on the engine

depending on how often you put the stress to it and will decreased the life of the engine how much depends on how much abuse and maintance

Check your engine spec's. 4200 is max torque I believe. That would be a safe RPM if your engine is broken in properly.

On sand remember to air down, and turn off your stability controls.
