Rear dig or burn is the ability to disconnect the rear driveline from power and in some cases lock up the entire rear axle. This gives you the ability to turn using the rear wheels as a pivot and the front to drag the crawler around. In Clod type rigs this is done by using a switch to cut power to the rear motor or giving the rear motor zero throttle, while on shaft driven rigs this is done by disconnecting the rear driveline.
