❌ Poor Wheel Placement – Choosing the wrong line over obstacles can leave you stuck or cause unnecessary damage.
❌ Using the Wrong Driving Mode – Understanding when to use 4H, 4L and your vehicle's traction systems is essential.
❌ Tackling Obstacles Too Fast – Slow, controlled driving is often the key to safely navigating challenging terrain.
