    This actually taught me a ton about vehicle suspension! Although, I'm curious, wouldn't it make sense to always have the differential locked?

    • @The_Chair_Man
      @The_Chair_Man Před 8 měsíci +64

      "Locking" the differential is like turning it off temporarily. While It's needed to make turns in vehicles, it gets iffy in rough terrain, like this. There is also half lock diff which does a mix and is good all around but still might not give the power you need in rough terrain/the extra spin to get around tighter turns. I remember one really old video explaining the evolution of differentials, its probably not too hard to find and really interesting if you haven't seen it

    • @bw1llis
      @bw1llis Před 5 měsíci +44

      The reason to turn it on (/not have it locked) is that when turning, the outer wheel travels further than the inner wheel, so has to turn faster, which can't happen when they're connected by the same axle, without slipping. When there's no drive to the wheels, you can put them on separate axles, which allows them to turn at different speeds. The differential is needed to provide drive to the two separate axles at different speeds.

      @elmo_is_watching_ya5175 Před 5 měsíci +37

      ​@@bw1llisthis was also a big limiting factor when trains were invented, since the wheels had to be on the same axle. They fixed this by making the contact area have an angle, so that when the train goes through a curve the outer wheels get pushed out, sliding the contact point to the thicker part of the wheel, and thus covering more distance with the wheel per rotation compared to the other wheel

      I assume when the weight is toward the front, the the rear wheels don't compact the sand at all, so when they run, the just throw loose sand instead of pushing off of it. With the weight over the rear tires instead, it must compact the sand together enough that it aggregates into a solid enough surface to get traction on.

      The biggest factor in sand driving is more tread contact. Hence why you always air down your tires as much as you can to increase the surface area. Many people will buy jeeps with large aggressive tires and will get outperformed by a standard jeep tire that has been aired down appropriately. This experiment takes airing down out of the equation

    This really shows why independent suspension and knobby tires were invented. The last tires had more of a knobby profile, not just more square. I ride dirt bikes in Michigan which is mostly sand and my MX14 sand tire is skinner and more round than other dirt bike tires but with a more aggressive tread pattern, in the sand, you need to dig in and grab as much soil as possible to move forward. You almost had independent suspension by the end which would've also helped with the uneven terrain.
    Things you may already know, just my 2 cents.

    5:42 tractor tires with V shaped grooves are actually designed to dig into, and throw mud outwards as they rotate. Ideally you would turn them around backwards when driving on sand. This is why you sometimes see one or two pair of wheels being flipped on tractors that are being used on beaches etc. It is the same for winter tires also, those are usually designed the same way. In winter tires you ideally want a small, sharp tire and somewhat heavy weight, to penetrate ice and snow. On sand on the other hand, you want as wide tires as possible and as little weight as possible (while still having enough to maintain some ground pressure).

      ​​@@stephonragland1654 Tire setup doesn't matter all that much in FS22 unless you use "REA Wheels" mod that adds proper traction managment but that has a few hiccups when it comes to modded.
      Me, personally, I prefer to run single wide BKT or Michellin tires with weights as it gives me a tighter turning circle and I can park tractors and equipment in tighter spots than I could with doubles.

    you might find it works better if the tread on those last tyres are reversed.
    in the current orientation they start digging when they lose traction, which is good when you have hardpack lower down, but sand is soft all the way down lol
    if they are flipped they will scoop sand underneath the tyres instead and raise the wheels out of the ground :D

    for a sand track you can just get rid of differentials at all - you don't really need them, this would simplify the mechanism making it sturdier, lighter and probably give more freedom for suspension. Also for sand - wheels matter most of all.
