Not wrong and for me, it works overtime

I own a D2 with CDL, so I'm not too sure what to do on a RR, but I guess it would be similar.
When I travelled the Simpson Desert I had no difficulty with TC at all, the sand was quite firm, tyres at 18 psi. However when I travelled the Canning SR, I had difficulties getting over a number of dunes due to TC washing off momentum. (Towing a camper)

I simply pulled the ABS relay that controls the TC. On a D2 it is relay 10.
After which it flew up the dunes with ease.
You do have a number of warning lights appear on the dash, but they all dissapear once the relay is replaced.

At black duck the other day I found out it actually works in reverse! Going down a steep hill one wheel started to spin (I had all feet off pedals) next thing thunk-thunk and calm ruled again..LOL

If anyone finds out how to do in a p38 that would be great too. I was trying to beat the tide at fraser last year and getting off the beach was a nightmare as the TC cut in and forward progress was slowed dramatically. With the tide rising and beach dissapearing it was heart in mouth time thats for sure.
