Not true at all.
I am at full lock quite a bit.
Its usually how i know its time to transition, lift off the gas or put the clutch in before i spin out.
I rarely hit full lock at initiation, but always hit it as i go through the course.( KA doesnt really have enough HP to hit full lock on inititation and to hold proper line on the rest of the course. You will scrub to much speed)
I actually was talked out of getting the knuckles before my coils by Jeff Abott about 2 years ago because i was at lock so much i was looking for a way around it.

Knuckles would help with being able to get a little more angle without binding up.
so things like trying to hold onto a drift a little longer before transition would be made easier.
it would also work as a great safety net in case you got to steep of an angle, you would have a little more left to catch yourself with.
They are also great for chasing in tandem, you can adjust your angle to get under the lead car AND stay on throttle.

Every time I am barely tapping a wall, i end up at full lock.
It was just saying that its hard to drag yourself out of full lock with a KA.
You end up having to manji a lot further out in the opposite direction to get your sped back up.

so trying to hold long drifts at full lock on knuckles with low HP will be extremely difficult.
But if you are going to be at full knuckle lock for a couple seconds here and there, then they should actually be realy nice.

I get full lock under initiation....it does scrub speed, but that is why you see me initiate late. And I'm usually one and a quarter rotation while drifting, when I get the full one and half, its usually to set up switching the car back. Your right on that one.

I've never really been big on the "full lock" since I don't have power, but then again, I'm trying to spin 18's. But you are driving 17s on your single cam....have you driven balcony since then? I know its a little harder to keep great angle since we have to keep our speed up. But I know I couldn't hold complete full lock, car isn't going fast enough/not enough power to push the car.

Even Chow's car, with around 300whp in his fc, you can see when he gets full lock, the car slows down to almost a deathly slow speed...

I think full lock is made for gangster initiations like pawlak, even essa has some full lock gangster lines...

(both of these people mentioned above I do not know them, they are fictional charecters, they are just used for fanboy reference)
