Surely the slopes are going to decrease as they approach the bottom so I'd think whatever slippage the material presents would be offset by the flatter surfaces.

thing is - dunes = very soft and dusty - whereas much of the rest of the crater is more like bedrock. I wouldnt want to drive this thing into the dunes - perhaps get a little closer - but certainly not into it
