Traction Control System - How DOES It Function?

[FrogmanDave]

Give it a try both ways and see

Generally, braking will allow the front wheels to grip more so the rear wheel breaks grip easier while not applying so much force to make it difficult to overcome the rear brake.
I also think it plays games with the “nanny”

Tried it both ways tonight in a church parking lot. Full throttle with no brake and the Spyder just rolls on. I have the Pedal Commander so it is zippy but honestly kind of a turd because the clutch doesn't lock up immediately. With the brake you can get the tire to break loose and indeed it will leave a faint black line. Very faint in fact. No way to really roast it up. Your suggestion is called power braking to my old way of thinking. And I would say it takes just a bit more than 'light pressure' to hold it back hard enough to really spin it up. This tire makes a horrible squealing sound. Reminded me of the old bias ply tires of my youth. I hadn't heard such a sound for many years. Anyway, I do see that the Spyder will spin the tire under the right conditions on dry pavement. I had fun doing it. Thanks for the suggestion elixermixer.
