You will get 100% acceleration out of the corners with the front wheels instead of a diff which gives power to the wheel with least grip, this improves acceleration, you will also get sharper turn in. The biggest disadvantage which is why i don't particularly like them is you only get rear wheel braking which can kick the back out.

Sorry, typo Trying to build new servers at the same time

You can see the effect on the inside wheel when it spins up after loosing grip. You can see it quite clearly when watching something like rallying.
