Using Brakes to Transfer Torque in H3?
So I've been thinking about a few things (as evidenced by my few recent topics).
I know in the H1, one of the features they have is to apply brake pressure to "lock" their front / rear differentials together and transfer torque to the wheel with traction.
Is the H3 capable of anything like this? Does it have brake assisted hill climbing / decent?
I'm thinking no, but figured it was worth an ask!

Yes it is called "traction control"
In off road vehicles: Traction control is used instead or in addition to the mechanical limited slip or locking differential. It is often implemented with an electronic limited slip differential, as well as other computerized controls of the engine and transmission. The spinning wheel is slowed down with short applications of brakes, diverting more torque to the non-spinning wheel. This form of traction control has an advantage over a locking differential, as steering and control of a vehicle is easier, so the system can be continuously enabled. It also creates less stress on the drivetrain, which is particularly important to the vehicles with an independent suspension that is generally weaker compared to solid axles.[citation needed] On the other hand, only half of the available torque will be applied to a wheel with traction, compared to a locked differential, and handling is less predictable.
