IF the driver had immaculate throttle control, you could probably do it (I race my 4x4 1/10th buggy with no slipper, but only on a REALLY loose surface...) but since 99% of us aren't that good, a slipper is a good way to prevent you from breaking something every other battery pack.
Good point. With my 1/8's, when running nitro I'd quite often have full power on landings, swapping to electric, I've changed my style, so no power to make it easier on the motor.
