TC is only a "must have" b/c Forgotten Mustard can't modulate throttle input. Presumably because his computer throttle is binary. IRL, you can climb hills better in winter conditions with TC off.
As someone whom has driven a RWD car on snow/ice this test is unfortunately bad. TC off and careful throttle control are key. Open Diff can cause both wheels to not move, LSD can be inconsistent, Solid/Welded means both wheels move but depending on situation can be erratic w/o proper control.
I feel like a better comparison can be made with different drivetrains and kinds of approaches to the hill. Any vehicle can get up an icy hill if they have a running start, but they can vary drastically depending on which wheels are driven, especially at a standing stop.
Traction control makes a HUGE difference. The setting the truck had was more like what a vehicle equipped with traction control turned OFF would act like. It's there to help you move forward instead of shutting you down cuz it thinks you're about to get into an accident.
Traction control in modern cars is best left on in this situation, actually. It can apply the brakes on spinning wheels and have the diff act like an LSD. My FWD open diff Bolt does this exact thing. Without turning the TC off I can't tell that it has an open differential at all. Beam separates TC and ESC, though. Beam's TC generally involves shutting off the throttle when the drive wheels are spinning and ESC handles sending power to certain wheels.
@@pootispiker2866 the advantage of limited slip is that the brakes dont need to be applied to get power to both wheels on that axle. However, lsd on ice is just dangerous but also extremely fun
As other comments have stated, get a controller. If you couldn't be assed for a wheel/pedal system just get a controller. It's embarrassing looking at that keyboard input when you can easily regulate throttle on controller.
It doesn’t matter at all here. Both of your drive wheels are on the same surface, with very similar weight put onto them. Until you have one wheel on ice and other in concrete, or your car is cornering hard (weight transfer), diffs shouldn’t matter too much. Before anyone tells me about the one wheel peel, I know, I know.
They're the ones that connect your wheels from the engine, it's connected to the driveshaft from the transmission linked to the engine. Inside the diff, you will see gears that are pretty much to same as a transmission, but you don't change gears here, they're just rotating because the gear that is connected to the driveshaft spins the large gear at the left, moving the large case-like structure in which the axle is connected, and because the wheel is connected to the axle, it spins
Open = both shafts can rotate independently, but still be powered. Limited = Both shafts can rotate slightly independently from each other, but still have some control over the torque split. Welded = both shafts are locked and cannot rotate freely from each other.
Open = when there is one wheel freely spinning/got no traction, the engine is putting all its power to that wheel because its easier to send to, so you still stuck. The other wheel that got traction don't get any power. Limited slip = as its name, trying to not make the Open diff mistake by limiting those wheel slip. So when one wheel is freely spinning/got no traction, the diff is trying to send the power to the wheel that got traction instead. But on road, those 2 wheels still can rotate at different speeds. Welded = 2 wheels on the axle always rotate at the same rate. better when you want maximum traction in rock climbing/in mud or smth very slow. But bad when you drive on road because when you try to turn, 2 wheels want to rotating at different speed, then your tires got screw up.

It doesn't matter what kind of a differential you have when both wheels have equal grip. If one wheel was on a ice and other on concrete then differential would make a difference.
