people lock the diffs on 1/8th scale cars as the rear tires are very large and gip much better than a 1/10th scale wheel, they also run front one way diffs making it feel like rear wheel breaking aswell

ahh ok well then is it also common practice to put a spring in the rear to so it unloads the power more evenly off the line?
