Torque is king
And when you deflate your tires for sand dunes driving … make sure to inflate when back on the road. Otherwise your tires may suffer and damage .. or worse
The first time I rode a quad I gunned it when it started to get stuck and we had to winch it out. I wish i had known this earlier lol
Hey, don’t use traction control on ice and snow. Because trakion control is slowing you down there either. A manuell gearbox is better on snow and ice because it gives the control back to the driver ( (a corner to fast) 4by4 and rearwheeldrive throttle to let the car othersteer or with frontwheeldrive pull the handbreake and play with the throttle). And there are also some situations where you need youre wheels to spin when youre driving on ice and snow. Not to much but they have to spin a little. I’ve bin to finland in winter on allseason tires and i didn’t got stuck. And the car is a sedan(Opel Vectra B1996(5Speed)), in the US better known as Chevrolet Vectra or Saturn L200(2001-2004).
Snow is different from mud. Snow compresses and turns into a more or less solid ground when you drive over it slowly. Mud just makes you sink in. The TCS does reduce the wheelspin on slippery grounds and it really helps. When you are driving on “clean” snow, you should only disable the ESP/TCS (since they are electrically coupled on most cars) when you drive up a steep hill or when you have snow chains.
What about doing donuts with 4x4? Any damage could happen? its Toyota Land cruiser 2007.
If it has LSDs (limited slip diffs) and you’re doing donuts while one of them is engaged there is a possibility of damage. From what I’ve heard there’s also an increased risk of rollover when doing donuts while in 4x4
If I knew it was this twаt, I wouldn’t have clicked to watch.
“Don’t floor it to get unstuck”. Tell that to Clarkson. Speed and Power solves things!
Can someboy explain me the second point he is talking about? I understand the comparison of the transfer case. But I don’t see why it could be in link with the 4x4
Edit: That’s okay, I noticed that I didn’t know enough about the transfer case, so I didn’t know what he was refering about.
I’m sort of unsure what you mean here but the transfer case is what engages the front diff which essentially locks the front and rear drive shafts together so they spin at the same rate. As mentioned in the video, when you are on tarmac your front and rear drive shaft need to spin at different rates and if they can’t because they are locked to the same speed, damage can occur. Does that help?

You call that offroading? This is offroading :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0sBG3fiFHk
