the kit comes with a diff for the front as standard

the one way uses one way bearing instead of the ball diff action so you get the 4wd under power but the front freewheels off power and under breaking

I don't understand the benefit of one way diffs. Why would you want to pull the handbrake on when going flat out? 4WD braking has to be better surely

Not enough steering with permanent 4wd unless you're on a mega grippy surface

Unless ther's a lot of straights followed by hairpins you don't need the extra stopping power you get with four wheel braking. Only having rear brakes also gives you the ability to pivot the car with a quick dab of brakes if you need to
