Imagine that in a car race or a run on asphalt and the wheels bite on the grass, you would agree that the grip will no longer be the same between the wheels on the road and those on the road. rolling on the part that contains grass, this is where the locking system comes in, it will compensate for this loss of grip by sending more power to the wheels with the most grip on the road.
