Default Playing with DCCD in the snow!!

OK, no donut stories here, just a bit of sideways action!!

I have a DCCD gearbox with an auto controller from a guy in the states. I have rigged it up so that along with its G sensor it provides good traction at all times, at all settings, but with a diff lock button.

DCCDPro.com

Anyway, left open the car is stuck just like a RWD. With some forward rotation of the thumb wheel it is better but with the diff locked at all times it's magic in the snow.

Before with the viscous centre diff it still pushed the rear wheels out and felt more rwd in the snow. Got to say that with the diff locked going downhill its really stable and easy to control.

The sideways action came on a couple of corners and a round-about near home. Its amazing just how easy it is to control and thats with moving the thumb wheel while moving. I'm getting good at the "on the fly" adjustments.

Whats your DCCD snow story?
