If you can't really use the ESC brakes on a direct drive anyway then it seems like a natural fit, no?

The problem with a clutch and this setup is, current clutch designs are up on the factory drive train where torque levels are much lower. How do we design a clutch that is inline with the shaft to handle the higher torque?
ESC brakes work fine with this setup. I've never had a problem with that aspect.
