The slipper goes straight onto the motor shaft. Think of Mike's original Slipperential, but this will work with outrunners and decrease complexity. In my experience the Revo slipper clutch is actually quite good and highly adaptable, and I have no experience with the LST slipper.

I am yet to find out if it is innovation or just heartache of wasting time/effort
We will see if this effort is worth the time...

More gearing options is one of the main ideas I had in mind. Here's the deal - I want to use my 610 kv 4120/06 outrunner from my MT2 in my Corr truck, but on 3s Lipo I would need a kv of ~900 for direct-drive-to-diff to get the desired speed. But with this outrunner setup I can OVERdrive the "spur" gear and effectively acquire a higher RPM to the diffs.

There's no transmission here, or at least not in the traditional sense. Each part is standalone.
