Default Axle toe?

Ok here is my question, I have searched through many a thread on here and although there has quite a bit of debate in those threads I still have no real answer.

? will toe-in or toe-out on the rear axle help in crawling aka holding a line and whatnot.

I seam to get a lot of push from the rear axle when trying to turn while climbing (I know this is mostly from the locker) ,but could toeing the rear axle help this some.

thanks in advance.

I run a few degrees of toe in on the rear, and have been for a while. I did it on accident a while ago and liked how it drove. Try it out and see what you like.

i prefer keeping them parallel (so no toe), you get slighty more steering and puts less stress on your parts, it also has less resistance when climbing
