It operates in 2 modes only full locked or full open. When full locked the inside wheel is being dragged across the surface and actually does lose some grip, similar to a heavily locked LSD in a real car.
a one way diff works with 2 one way bearings, one for each wheel. under power and in a straight line there is no doubt that both wheels are locked. but if a car is mid corner and the outside wheel is spinning faster (under power or not) the one way bearing wil allow it to spin freely. correct?
hence you may say that this setup allows slip!
