So I was test driving my newly acquired st185 in a snowstorm when I stepped on the gas and went from 20km/h to 60km/h very quickly and I lost complete control of the car. It turned right into a skid as the front slipped then went the other way as the back slipped. I have not been able to repeat the incident though I tried to do so in even worse conditions. The snow in the first case was fresh on the ground. When I tried to repeat thus incident I was on thicker snow. This is my first awd car. Can anyone try to explain what's happened?
Btw this was on a straight road with no turns. The car also has winter tires on it. Could it have something to do with the LSD? From what I've gathered, the rear and front differentials are open, with the center locking in via the viscous fluid. I also read that this type of system has a bit of a delay in execution, but I thought the alltrac is a fantastic off-road car, so did I basically push it too far, or should I be looking at a mechanical issue to spot?
