I understand your extremely generalized statement of "racers with handling issues have their slipper locked" and I agree that a locked slipper creates issues....but we are talking about 1 very specific situation during a turn. Off power traction while turning. Off power means NO THROTTLE. the slipper only functions when the motor is accelerating, or decelerating, UNDER POWER. (the motor is the driving force that makes the slipper function in the first place...hence being connected to the motor via pinion/spur) when the motor is in a neutral state (freewheeling) and the car is rolling (off power turning) then the motor is not inducing any resistance to make the slipper slip.

So again, explain to me how the slipper effects OFF-power turning?


Your claiming & posted there no way the slipper affects off power .

Incorrect


Its slips both ways, not just forward.

Going into the turn can lock the slipper and the car can become darty and steer more into the turns.

Loosen slipper and the car will be much smoother entering the turns.

Landing off jumps are also effected.

A tight slipper can make the car slide out on hard landings,not mention the extra wear & tear on the drivetrain.

Loosen the slipper and landings will become smoother ,more planted.
Does this answer your question?

I can show you even more how the slipper affects off power if interested.
