Thread: Traction Control?

It's all in the revs I think Rich, lower revs more forward movement, also using a higher gear, reduces the revs even though you're giving more throttle, which increases the TCs sensitivity, well that's the theory

I reckon if you had backed off slightly, you may have kept going, eventually the TC and eDiff would have kicked in.

I agree with Redback.

The natural tendancy for most people when traction is lost is to give it more right foot.
However, although not experienced with D3/D4's, I have found with TC on Defenders & D2's that often less revs equals more forward progress.

DSC- Doh- wish it could be really turned off then you could give it some curry.

That looked like fun. Agree with comments that backing it down a little in revs and up a gear may have helped.

Did you get up? Love to put mine beside to see how much difference your e-dif made.

That side was wet and slippery, next attempt was the other side which I drove up. The real challenge was this:

That's where I broke my rear axle Rich, too many revs and I slide backwards and sudden grip, bang goes the axle

Funny thing is, I should have listened to Kerry

Ah, MT Airlie just after the "canyon" .
I remember it well.
It looks worse now as the dirt approach has eroded, although it always was a wombat hole type situation where you had to go wide or end up with diagonalled wheels.
Did you drop your tyre pressures?

Yes, 20 rear 18 front. But I really should of been at 18/15!!!

Plenty of places to break a CV Baz, every vehicle had a min of 1 diff lock,lift and protection bars.
