hogmaw Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 When it's very cold, like 3º or less, I have it set to WET cos I assume the roads are pretty slippy, when freezing or almost freezing. Is that about right, or am I being a girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I have mine on wet all the time just now - better safe than sorry i guess ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I've got mine set to wet all the time now as well. But when accelerating from a stand still, sometimes the wheels still spin. RLTC doesnt work at low speeds, is that right? I mean below 5mph or so...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Well, your ground speed won't be taken into account. Its your wheel speed so as soon as the wheels start to spin above 5mph the rltc should come in, thats if it is 5mph and that won't take long lol.

RedM Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I have a strict winter setting from our resident guru, Terminator. It's probably overkill but I specified that it had to be strict and Terminator delivered. Saying that though it definitely doesn't work on greasy surfaces. Yesterday, I was in the tunnel under Leeds station and when I pulled away from the lights the back wheels span up a bit and the rear drifted towards the kerb. I reckon the wheel speed was higher than 5mph but as RL leans off 5% when the front wheels are straight I'd say it was the surface not the unit. This is the left most lane heading into Leeds and about one car back from the lights/crossing if anyone wants to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 How does RLTC know the front wheels are straight? I can understand that it would know you were turning hard right / hard left due to different wheel speeds, but a little bit left / a little bit right?

This is the left most lane heading into Leeds and about one car back from the lights/crossing if anyone wants to try it! I had a similar thing happen to me. I was going along a DC and put the foot down and the back stepped out a little but you can adjust the straight line slip if you want. I adjusted mine to 2% and it reacts so much quicker. I done the same test in the wet and RLTC just does a gentle cut before you even feel the back slide out and keeps it pointing in a straight line, worked a treat. It doesnt bog down from a standing start either so I'm happy with mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I pull out of a t-junction it works perfectly, but not always in a straight line. Mine was setup by Termi as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
