Only problem I could think of is if your wheel is spinning above 20mph as the locker won't lock over 20mph I believe. If you punch it from a stop and get wheel spin above 20, the locker won't lock.
that's kinda what i was thinking. if i light'em up going straight THEN turn it'll stay locked, but if i punch it while turning hard and get one wheel spinning really quickly it wont lock.

You will probably break it if you get it to lock turning them hard in a turn on dry pavement. The force of being locked and one wheel having to go faster than the other will create more force than the G80 can sustain and the case is liable to break. Not so much of a problem on loose or wet surfaces when the outside wheel can slip a little to make up for the longer distance it has to go.
