Gonna do dumb shit with some friends soon and I need to know what settings to put to optimize it properly. He tells me that all I need to do is put it into Baja and make it fwd, is there anything else I should do?

Baja mode + 80% power to the rear wheels

More importantly check your dirt space. Don’t want any nasty obstructions. If you actually want to drive around and do donuts then do 60% rear wheel bias

Have fun!

Thanks man, just to make sure will these settings work for both dirt and normal roads? And is it just baja + power?

So long as you don’t lock the differentials it will also work for street. Truth be told I never did street donuts in a truck (only a sports car). Dirt donuts are better because you won’t demolish your all terrain tires

Baja + Rear bias

may also want to try with rear steering on and off - see if one works better than the other...inquiring minds want to know!

Oh and please RTFM and remove your wheel fairings (like mud flaps but in the front of the wheels, they will be torn off in the sand.....learned from XP

You also need to turn off all stability control or your power will be reduced during low traction.

Also, don't do street donuts. Bad idea
