You need to understand how the system works. Always have DSC on to start. When a wheel slips, a brake is applied on one wheel so that wheel doesn't spin, and the power is delivered to the other wheels that have some traction. If all the wheels are spinning, then the DSC system backs off the throttle, even if you are pushing the gas pedal. If you floor it and it doesn't go over idle due to DSC, then it is because no wheel has traction. That is the only time you turn it off, and in that case the system will let a wheel spin. You can sometimes make more progress, but you are not helping your tires or differentials, so don't spin too much. As soon as the vehicle is moving, turn DSC back on.
