Default Why free wheel with dig?

Hey Guys,

Just got my Vanquish Hurtz dialed in as far as the Epa position....i have not been able to test on the rocks yet(weather)....i understand why locking the rear is good for steering
radius,descending,climbing....

BUT WHY AND WHEN DO YOU USE FREEWHEEL?

thanks for the help...

Or side hills/ off camber turns where you don't want the rear to push under power or slide down hill from being locked.

You can also use free wheel to relax the suspension, if you find that your front end is lifitng a tire high in the air. Free wheel will most of the time keep the crawler from binding up and flipping over, and settle the truck where it sits.
