I have no experience of the model - if the front wheels were locked together it would be impossible to drive, except in a straight line. From a manufacturing point of view it would be easier and more economic to use a motor on each front wheel for front wheel drive - completely avoiding the complexity of drive shafts and universal joints. This is why rear wheel drive is favoured by so many manufacturers.
