Sometimes though TCS/TC2 will bring you to a stop, as it not only applies the brakes to the spinning wheel(s), but also limits rpm to 2000 or so. I've become stuck in sand simply because of TCS/TC2. Covering the brake slightly deactivates TCS/TC2 amd let's me go on my merry way. Using 1st gear can also help sometimes too.

OK.. just to make sure we are all talking the same thing.
TC2 = allows additional wheel spin: Must be activated via the TC2 button on the dash.
TCS = applies brakes to spinning wheel(s) and limits RPM to ~2000. TCS is
on by default, but can be deactivated by slightly depressing the brake enough to illuminate the brake lamps.
