Default One ways - the best way, or no way?

Hi all, can anyone tell me the pros/cons of fitting a centre one way to my Lazer, and the same for a front one way?

Will any of the above improve my under power steering?

I'm sure others will give a more detailed response but I just wanted to point out that under power, a oneway supplies power to the front wheels in the same manner as fixed 4wd. So it will not give you any additional on-power steering. Off-power the front wheels become freewheeling and it will behave more like a 2wd, so you will get more steering off-power and under braking

i have just been trying this and found that if you run a one way on the shaft the car turns in better than fixed 4wd, but if you run the one way spool/diff, i found that you can turn even titer put the power on earlyer in a corner and i found i gained a lap as the car felt a little more like a 2wd but you could push harder

The things i would say are most noticeable about a one-way diff is the on-power steering is increased mostly, with a centre one-way you get barely noticeable difference on turn-in (compared to 1-way diff) but exit steering will be no different to fixed 4wd, both of these will make your car act like a 2wd entering corners and braking. Personnally myself i will never run fixed 4wd again as the 1 and only time i have done it, it cost me an A final win, cos' as i came tanking down the straight in first and braked late due to 2nd being so close my car front flipped off the track and Cart-wheeled past the marshall who had to run to get it, 'nough said.
