Default One way pulley

Will the TA06 one way pulley fit in place of the current belt pulleys? Tamiya #54302 or #54399

With the one way pulley installed, I read that (in the ta06) the brakes would be applied to the rear wheels.

But in the xv01 I believe the brakes would be applied to the front, because of the direct transmission. 70%+ of braking actually happens in the front of vehicles. So this theoretically should be better, braking wise, than then a real wheel braking car.

Coasting, will happen with the front wheels resisting. Acceleration will have 4 wheel power.

Will it fit? I feel like fyrstormer might have some experience with this? Observations in handling?

If the pulley is reversible, then I could also experiment with fwd and 4 wheel braking similar to fyrstormer's rwd car.
