Re: independant 4 wheel drive

Any help appreciated
Are you trying to "peel out" (raise the speed) the front wheels to lower friction for turning? Or are you trying to keep the speed of the outer wheels constant (front will want to move faster since it has less load) during a turn to reduce slipping?
