1. A system comprising:
- a reservoir configured to hold a traction control compound;
a delivery system coupled to the reservoir, wherein the delivery system includes a first opening positioned proximate to a first wheel;
a controller circuit having one or more processors, wherein the controller circuit is configured to;
receive respective temperature measurements of a first motor and a second motor, wherein the first motor is configured to provide a torque to the first wheel; and
control transfer a portion of the traction control compound from the reservoir to the first opening when the temperature measurement of the first motor is above a predetermined non-zero threshold.

Abstract
A system and method herein relate to vehicle control by adjusting a torque distribution of the vehicle. The system includes a first motor configured to provide a torque to a first wheel, and a delivery system configured to controllably apply a traction control compound to a route on which the first wheel is configured to travel. The system also includes a controller circuit having one or more processors. The controller circuit is configured to control the delivery system to apply the traction control compound to the route based on a monitored temperature of the first motor.
