Wet leaves are the enemy of traction to cars big and
rc. The surface of leaves of slippery
which makes them to lose traction with tire, but also the surface they rest
on. The result is out of control
driving. Yesterday I experienced both
the crazy slickness of the leaves with my Honda SUV and Traxxas Slash 2WD. The Traxxas has no stability control, but my
Honda does. Even the Honda had a hard
time keeping traction, but I was always in control. The wet leaves allowed me to do some burnouts
and doughnuts, which aren’t hard to do with the slash 2WD with any amount low
traction surfaces, but it was still fun kicking up the leaves. I had to get some time in with my remote
control truck before the snow starts flying.
I have a feeling the 2WD is going to be useless in the snow.
All of this wheel spinning fun is taking its toll on the
rubber, time for a tire rotation.
