Would be easy enough to try by just removing belleville washers from diff and cranking down on nut.

Tech Adept
I would guess that pinning the diff allows the outside wheel to drive in the corner when the inside is unloaded. Thus giving the feeling of more on power steering. I guess that less slipping is improving drive and thus lap times.
Usually a solid rear axle results in less steering as the inside tire tries to drive the car straight. With most tracks having tighter 180 deg turns vs long sweeping turns I can see how better drive through and off the corners is more important than an efficient car in the corner.

talking to a old timer, original pan cars 1/12 and 1/8 had no diffs. for the tires at the time and tracks the cars either pushed which was more ideal than the other negative it caused spinning out. usually the later if traction was poor. cars ran rear pod mount wings to get and maintain rear traction even on carpet racing early days.
late 70's Schumacher invented the ball diff and instantly others followed. initially ball diffs were used primarily as slippers, more than for their diffing action. this also carried into 80's like RC10 offroad and early 90's until buggies got actual slippers and diffs were set not to slip or less.
gear diffs were tried in late 80s on 1/12, but under power, acceleration they often had the same characteristics as a straight axle and were unforgiving compared to ball diffs even on prepped asphalt.
today's tire tech, car designs, very high grip, and latest carpets ball diffs may not be needed, and to keep RM down neither a gear diff

Roche P12
Besids Roche Usa. Who else is carring parts for P12 like the axle height adjusters?
