The problem with them is a spool locks the two rear axles together. Fine for a drag car, but on anything that turns it forces the inside tire to spin as the outside one turns faster. On a road course this would be a disaster unless you are doing drifting.

In the real world this is far from ideal and usually breaks an axle at some point as all the stress is on it.

Must be fun making a tight turn at slow speeds, right? Inside tire hopping and skidding on the road. I've ridden in a couple cars with spools on the street, turn into a parking lot and the car is hopping and banging like the rear end is going to fall out of it.

Are you sure you have a spool? Because I can't imagine you enjoying it in a street car.
