One of the things that annoyed me about my 4motion when I first bought it was the fact that you can never really turn the traction control off. I have however found a way round that and it costs nothing. I hope I'm not repeating somebody else's post as I didn't find much on this topic when I searched some time ago.
If you wanna make your 4motion powerslide or drift, throw the rear out or even donut like the cossie/subaru boys; all you need to is simply take the ABS fuse out. As far as I can gather the ABS sensors are simply wheel speed sensors. I think the ECU relies on information from these sensors to know when too much power is being sent to any given wheel. I suspect doing this prevents the brake force distribution and diff locks working too.
In the Hull, Boothferry Road Kwik Save car park I can make my 4motion rotate at about 1.5 rotations per second (edited.. sorry it was actually a rotation every 1.5 secs) , enough to make you dizzy!
The fusebox is inside the door.. the ABS fuse is labeled.

Now with claims and figures like that you KNOW you're gonna have to video it and show us!! :smiley:

Yes you're right.. and before the ice melts away! I'm not sure it would work as well in the wet. I dont think it would have the power to donut in the dry at all.
Thing is.. its dark in the car park I use.
