Yeah it's normal for a gearbox with an open diff to do this. Don't know the INS and outs of why it does it tho if someone cars to explain? It might even only spin 1 wheel if you were to put it in gear and rev it with both wheels off the ground because it's sending the power to the wheel with the least friction ie the shortest driveshaft
