Not sure if this has been covered and sorry if it was but can the AWD percentage be changed in forscan? Like I use the little display on the dash that shows the usage of awd and how much power goes to the rear wheels. Barely see any going to the rear only on hard acceleration and even then it’s not even a lot. Is there any way to make so it’s like F50/R50 or F70/R30 at least.
Maybe a tune would be able to do that? Just thinking aloud that’s all.

I don't think that is configurable by Forscan. However, if you want more rear wheel engagement, switch to Sport when accelerating. I use sport when getting up to highway speeds and will switch it back to normal once I am at speed. Sport will keep the rear wheels engaged at a higher speed compared to normal.

Agree mine is close to 50/50 from a stop on awd dash screen in sport.

Yeah I noticed that in sport too, also with having the paddle shifters and SST. Was thinking of more not having to use the sport button.

I just don't think that is a variable that is configurable. Changing that might require flashing the controller with new software, which is outside the capabilities of Forscan. I wonder if there is a hardware difference with the new Lobo trim since it will do vectored AWD. Otherwise, I would be interested to know if the controller could be swapped out and give a non-Lobo the Lobo AWD characteristics.

The problem is that the free spinning wheels continue to spin (don't brake?) so the extra power doesn't go to the wheels with traction.

FX/4 here with no sport mode and no ForScan but mine shows like 50% of the bar for the rear wheels during a mild acceleration.
