The Slipperential will work fine with the clutch setup, Ryan - a bit redundant, but it would work perfectly fine. One thing to consider when using the clutch(and therefore mechanical brakes) with our Slipperential is that the slipper is built onto the diff cup - so if the front or rear brakes are actuated UNDER the center diff top plate, it will need to be moved to the top to avoid interference.
The Slipperential and Tekno clutch are two different means to a similar end result - though the behavior is different. I answered a similar question on another forum, so here is a copy/paste:
A nitro style clutch theoretically "disconnects" from the drive train at low/no rpm and engages up to "lock up" as rpms increase.
In practice, they both(Slipperential and nitro style clutch) offer drive train protection and traction control - just different ways of getting there and different "feel". The Slipperential is never "disconnected", so throttle response is instantaneous - direct drive(and also allows esc brakes and reverse). Power output/delivery can be tuned and the harsh shock to the drive train is minimized in either setup - just tuned differently. The Slipperential can be infinately adjusted in the vehicle by loosening the adjustment nut lock screw and turning the nut(adjusts like any other slipper really). The clutch setups are tuned with different clutch pads, springs, spring orientation, etc.
