Answer 1

When you have fwd that means the axel that connects the front two wheels is attached to the drive train. When you press on the gas, it spins those two wheels. The other wheels spin freely. Fwd stands for front wheel drive. Rwd stands for rear wheel drive and is the opposite. The drive train is attached to the rear axel. The gas pedal spins the rear wheels and the front wheels spin freely.
