Yep for sure. The 79 series troopies turn better if you unlock the hubs too. Stupid work policy means they're locked in all the time.. I unlock them so I can manage a u-turn without it becoming a 3 pointer. No idea on the physics, but same road, same inputs, different turning circle.

Selectable (when driver chosen) front lockers for the win @First Pooy Mate!
‘Most’ of our Trols rear LSD’s are as tight as a Nun’s..... and very near rear locked capable from stock for 90% of adventures.
Haven’t personally had experience in my twucks with front auto type lockers but do watch mates struggle with them up and down tight rocky tracks putting their panels way off track especially on hairpin turns etc...
Very early designed auto lockers also used to get confused in creek crossings with slippery boulders and go pop poop stranded too :-(
