Both EV and ICE Traction Control at once?

    Greetings! I'm trying to make a hybrid Automation racecar, and the biggest problem for me is TC. My car is AWD, ICE for the rear axle, and an electric motor for the front one. The issue I have is a huge oversteer when exiting the corner. When I use the usual TC it controls only the rear axle and when I use EV one only the front axle is controlled. Is there a solution for using BOTH usual and EV traction controls for the ICE-powered rear axle and EV-powered front one?

    P.S Both aero and suspension tunes are tuned well, when I use only ICE my car doesn't have any issues with oversteer.

    I haven't heard of anything like that. If the TC is not good enough on the vanilla BeamNG.drive cars, I usually use a mod called Standalone Traction Control. But I don't think it works for AWD/4WD vehicles.

    You might try playing around with the rear differential wheel spin ratios. I myself haven't had much luck with that. It's not simple like Forza Motorsport/Horizon where you can use a race rear differential, adjust the ratios, and it just works. The BeamNG.drive adjustable differentials don't seem to work unless it's final drive ratio.

    And that's another thing: Make sure your front diff/drive/motor/whatever can keep up with the rear diff, and vice versa.

    My car has around 560Nm torque for rear drive and 333Nm for front drive, could it be an issue? Should I boost EV drive to 560Nm too or something like that? My car has 50/50 weight ratio btw, maybe this could help

    Use the Standalone traction control mod to control the rear axle, and the vanilla EV traction control for the front axle

    Thanks, I'll try it! I'll update the topic after the result!

    UPD: Or I'm a dumb person, or it's extremely difficult to add Additional Modification slot for UE4.27 Automation because without it exported cars. I was trying to add this slot to add Standalone TCS itself to the car using this video guide, yet whatever I did, I failed. Can anyone help me here? I'm pretty green at modding so I don't know or understand a lot of stuff...

    Yes that could be an issue. If you have a more powerful rear power source that's faster than the front...it's basically like the front brakes are on slightly and the rear of the car wants to whip around.
    I downloaded a mod car a few weeks ago that had that problem, but in that case the rear diff final drive was geared higher than the front diff, which means that the rear wheels were moving faster than the front wheels. It was simply that the modder didn't set the final drive ratios to equal each other and it was causing the car to drive like crap. Simple tuning fix in that case.

    Actually, having different torques on each axle wouldn't be THAT bad. Most AWD sport/supercars send less than 50% ofbtorque to the front wheels, as well as hybrids and EVs. The drive ratio thing is only important if your axles are physically connected to each other. If not, they can be different ratios

    The current issue is, I can use traction control to... Well, control the rear axle. But then the front axle is not controlled and a lot of wheelspin is happening, and vice versa. The thing I want to do right now is to combine vanilla EV traction control with modded usual traction control so both axles are being controlled instead of only one. Still haven't solved that issue. Theoretically, I can share my car so You'd see what I'm talking about. It's pretty understeery in slow corners but overall it's not that bad (excluding the issue we're solving of course)
