I thought about this too, and decided that a larger clutch than a std 1/8 nitro would be required due to the lack of any gear reduction that a direct to diff setup has. Maybe a clutch out of a 1/5 scale would work? But two would be needed, one on each end of the motor.

My thoughts exactly then you could keep brake bias AND have a super low to the ground COG :)
