not sure what the proper reason for it is, but i do it to stop the back wheel working too hard against the engine. It can be good fun when you're playing about on the track getting the back to drift sideways into a corner but when I'm hard on the brakes in a straight line i'd rather not encourage the tyre to loose tractiona and waggle about! Very tricky going down the box without the clutch... something i don't care to get to grips with, it just seems a bit abbusive! |
