They are extremely disappointing from the test I saw. If the front wheels lose grip it couldn't push the car forward on flat ground with the rear wheels. It didn't make it to the cross side wheel traction test or the 3 wheels no traction portion of the test. Lol

Sad bc in theory I wanted one. if anybody wants to a similar test rig to test out their not tradition AWD vehicles my company makes those conveyor sections in the video lmao I can get you some shipped out
