Rear Differential on Warrior Raptor

Rear Differential on Warrior Raptor
Has anyone put a differential arrangement on a warrior raptor.
I am thinking of putting one way clutches on the rear hubs to help it through the corners when on the road. In theory when cornering the outer wheel would be free to rotate faster and then I can corner. The down side is no reverse, but it would be much easier to push the ATV back as no drive train to push against etc.
I am in the middle of calculating the torque to size the clutches

Interesting concept, I never heard of this being done before though. I don't think i'd want to sacrifice reverse and engine braking (wait, wouldn't you lose your rear brakes completely?) just to have slightly better cornering on pavement. And if your outer wheel was the one to spin freely in a corner, wouldn't that make things kinda weird since power is only getting to the inside wheel, and pushing you the direction you don't want to go? Then if the inside wheel pops up, then the other one would engage, and who knows what would happen then. I think this might make it really weird to ride and maybe even dangerous.
