This came out of a pub discussion...
If driving through deep, soft, dry sand (i.e. not mud) and you don't have a 4x4... which is better RWD or FWD?
Theories are:
- FWD digs itself in
+ FWD moves sand out of the way
- RWD creates a barrier of sand in front of front wheels
+ RWD makes front wheels glive over sand
Any ideas?
