Which Differential Works Best On Ice? BeamNG. Drive

Will this truck conquer the ice ramp with only rwd?
Enjoy!

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.

[@MagicGumable]

also the limited slip did a far better job at delivering power to both wheels

He's playing keyboard cat. On a controller it's dead simple.

For one i think studded tires would have made a big difference :P

[@4G12]

Using more suitable tyres would make a much bigger difference.

Nice comparison once again

[@CRASHDRIVE-nb6ul]

Good job ❤

[@satsumagt5284]

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.

tire pressures affection traction would be awesome

[@goose7244]

it does though, beam models tire pressure. there's literally an offroad vehicle with "manual tire pressure control" buttons.

[@gabrielv.4358]

Or wooden tires, or reversing, or fwd going in reverse, or awd all open

[@goose7244]

@@gabrielv.4358 don't all of these exist?

[@the01slayer]

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.

[@Povertycab]

tc helped because he is on pc and cant control the throttle well, its either all of nothing

[@cessnafun5385]

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.

[@aakar1s]

An even better yet comparison would the addition of proper winter/studded tires.

[@kak8895]

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.

[@Scuffed_Gambit]

0-100 real quick, amirite

[@sweettooth7124]

Dont need t/c, just modulate the throttle at a low rpm. So just toe-in til you have forward movement. The whole point is to not break traction.

[@justified_wrath_21]

Ngl I don’t understand differentials.

[@XB-70Valkyrie-d3k]

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

[@RailsofForney]

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.

[@jnhkx]

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.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4qkqGpvaJ1pjas This video should help you understand how they work - They break it down to a very simple version and slowly build it up while explaining.

Hey forgotten mustard you should put a 19 liter V8 on a semi truck or pickup truck

[@keloduma]

Is a controller that expensive my brother?

[@Yavore346]

The differential does matter a lot. Your test showed no difference because all you did was go flat out and spin the wheels.

[@jordanricker4948]

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.

[@pootispiker2866]

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.

[@jordanricker4948]

@@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

[@TerrasClip]

I recommend you get an analog switch keyboard like the Wooting Two HE that can have controller like inputs, useful for precise throttle control

[@pootispiker2866]

Get a controller. There is no replacement.

[@TerrasClip]

@@pootispiker2866 That is quite literally the replacement if you want a keyboard but no controller

[@pootispiker2866]

@@TerrasClip I'm not sure if there's any situation where that keyboard is better than a controller.

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.
