    I was testing different vehicles on this loose sand dune climb, and while testing the base variant piccolina with offroad suspension (RWD car) I noticed that when it gets to the really loose and deep section, the front wheels start spinning at full speed as if they are under power, despite only slowly moving across the sand.

    Not sure if this problem appears for all variants/all RWD vehicles, but it is definitely something that should be looked into

    bump + I also just experienced this same phenomenon with the default pickup in 2H so it seems to be a problem with more than just he piccolina

    Does the issue persist in Safe Mode? (Launcher -> Support tools)

    Could the problem somehow be level specific?

    I only ever saw this happen in particularly deep sand, that doesn't exist in any of the vanilla levels.
    And for some reason this map wont show up in safe mode (even though my other repository downloads are showing)

    This can be an issue with the map if it's a mod.

    Still seems problematic that certain modded terrain materials can cause transmissions to magically become 4WD. The problem obviously runs deeper than just poorly optimized sand.

    It's not possible for a terrain to do this by itself, maybe there is some lua hack implemented in the map to make all wheels powered for whatever reason.
