Remember the diff is at the slowest rotating part of the drivetrain, 1:1 with the wheels, and therefore at the highest torque point in the car. If an electric car has equal sized wheels and power to a nitro the overall load will be about the same I'd imagine
I'd love to be able to run a one-way diff in 4wd, I'm sure I'd be faster over a single lap - but that's the problem. There's a much bigger chance I'll make a mistake on big stops into slow corners. Also a one-way has a bit of a mind of it's own accelerating through bumps in a shaft drive car, less of an issue on those rubber band cars
