Still a little confused about the 4 wheel drive setup

Ok, I understand the ESP and that it uses a BATCH (break assisted traction control) and I understand what that is and I understand that the nitro only has 4 wheel hi and open diifferentials - not limited slip and certainly not locking diffs...BUT, let's say, I cut off the ESP,

are all four wheels turning at once or just 1 in the front and 1 in the rear?

Thanks for putting up with my curiosity.

ESP off does not turn off the brake limited slip, just the throttle reduction when you spin wheels. I can attest to that, since I managed to get sideways in the rain one day, and I could feel the brake limited slip trying to do its thing, and failing because I was still on the gas.
