One way diff

Allows the front diff to pull through the corner. 1-way will pull under acceleration and unload under braking. You have a 4wd under acceleration and 2wd under braking. If you brake hard the car will come around.

1-ways are for going faster through the corners. Let me go deeper into the subject. One-way bearings engage and disengage the drive to the front wheels automatically depending on the available traction. But there is no braking action. The 1-way bearings will disengage the wheels. 1-ways are not for doing 180 or reversing. Make sense?

The advantage of a one-way, is that when the car are off-throttle, all the traction are avaible for steering. The result are faster corner speed.
The disadvantage is that the car only brake with the rear wheels. So a one-way are normally only suited for high-bite tracks.
Usually it takes pretty much time to learn to drive with a one-way because of the brake issue. But once learned, it's probably the hop-op with most laps / $. Gaining an extra lap or 2 in a 5 minutes race aint unsual.

Thanks Cole. Works great for someone like me that does not use brakes. Put this on my christmas list for this year. 
I used 1-ways on my 1/8 and MTX-2. Went back to diff on MTX as had to use the brake to much and the tail swaped around a lot when I did. On my X-Ray I never brake, stock class.

And no, spin turns are not what a one-way diff is for.
