Thread: Traction control is NO substitute for a Locker. Ha!

Hey there,

What tire pressures are you running in the vid? look like they are pretty high.

I spend a fair bit of time in the newnes plateau area in my 01 TD5 110.. it has traction control and a rear maxi drive locker.. I rarely have to use the locker if I get the momentum and tire pressures right..

That being said.. having the locker as a fall back makes life feel safer

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

G'day Babs,

I own the other defender in the video. Sorry we didn't hang about, I forgot you asked if you could tag along...
The mazda sheared an axle later in the day, trying to get up a steep section which I managed as did the little zuke.
As for the section discussed here, the only way I was getting up was to hug the wall. It would have been too easy to fall into the rut and smash a guard.
Also it was the first track and I was hung over...excuses.

What's that supposed to mean

Never raced up anything yet???I'm not a right foot sorta girl;

Only reason I go to 24 is because that's what the stauns are set too its too much like hard work to change them

That's just the wheels spinning offroad from not airing down enough

You can adjust the Stauns

I know you can adjust stauns they are a pain in the **** to do so...hence why they haven't been adjusted...since the last time they were set.

I have a set at 18 and a set at 24
