Try cleaning out and re-oiling your one-way diff. One-way bearings can be quite delicate and only need the smallest bit of grit/dirt on the rollers and it can cause them to slip. Maybe is it just slipping when it takes a lot of stick but under normal driving conditions its ok.

I think Jason answered you pretty well the other day.

Has anyone had trouble with wear on the aluminium centre pulleys? I'm assuming that this wear is coming from belt skip/wrap around the pulley because of the size and material of the pulley. I had heard that Tamiya went from a 15t to a 17t pulley to stop there excessive wear they were getting, but don't know for sure. I've just stuck in some 3Racing centre pulleys (and new belts) to see if it actually works/fixes it...

I would imagine its lighter and I also think it makes the diff smoother as well.

Glad to hear your experience with 3Racing pulleys are good, as it should follow on in this case as well.
