So with traction lock both tires should spin all the time?

I believe it works like this:

When the one tire starts to spin, it locks and causes the other to spin so that you can get traction (think of traction control on newer cars, which I believe is the samething.)

Don't quote me on any of this though.

Traction control is not the same as traction lock, TC is computer and brake controlled.

That's why I said don't quote me! - [8D]

Hopefully this is the right answer:
