If you run on a track with large sweeping turns you might try locking the front diff. If you only drag race, try locking both.

locking the rear diff will NOT make it turn sharper UNLESS you are driving on a very slick surface...and then its called spinning out...the whole reason behind a differential is to let it corner sharper and smoother...otherwise the inside tire chirps when turning sharp...(IE loses traction)
