If you put a vehicle in 4wd and turn on hard ground where there is alot of traction any rig will bind, or hop.  It is because the outside wheel has to rotate more times than the inside wheel, causing it to bind, and hop.  just dont go to fast and try not to turn to sharp.

yea what he said :werd:

even if the ackerman angles were perfect  you would still bind in 4wd, and if you have any kind of traction device, ie locker  it will be way worse

just dont turn real sharp on hard stuff in 4wd
