Thread: Traction Control too slow to engage

Hi all, and many, many thanks for your advice, know-how and videos.

(After seeing and hearing all) I can't wait for the long weekend to try it all out at Sunny Corner/Zig-Zag/Mt Walker...

Thanks again.

Cheers.

I'd thought this guy was being winched. Apparently not.

that was a very good video showing the ability of t/c, but notice throughout the constant rev's.

Yep that's a good one. It's typical of poor conditions in the UK. I recall a motoring writer saying when the D2 first came out that he was astonished that his test can, with him driving, climbed a clay bank out of a river non ht tyres that his defender 90 with mud terrains couldn't do- a place he was very familiar with.

Cheers

Yes, I did notice the constant revs. He's definitely not gunning it either - don't know what that level of V8 noise equates to but it can't be much more than 1500-2000rpm.

A steady 1500 rpm and the force will b with u.
