Exclamation Turning Radius with locked/unlocked Diffs

Hi Rock Crawlers!

The lockable Diffs have been the main reason for me to get the Venom Creeper. In my oppinion, a car should have Diffs, even it is Rock Crawler.
So I was just curious, what different it makes, to take a corner with locked or unlocked diffs...


Because pictures say more then thousand words, here the results:
(Exactly same piont of start, exactly same steering angle!)
(locked = front+rear diff locked / unlocked = front+rear diff unlocked)





...and here the direct comparison:




Best regards from Austria,

Alex

it makes a huge difference when you are backing up and going forward in a tiny spot setting up for an obstacle
