I always wondered, how do you get the one-way bearings to spin with the shaft though? Wouldn't the shaft just slip? Or do you add screw locker or something?

Slip inside the bearing you mean? My team used a one way bearing on our winch this year. We press fit it into a bearing block and press fit a coupler into it. The friction was strong enough to hold everything from moving even with 500 in*lbs of torque on the coupler acting against the bearing.
