been there, tried that. Not reccommended unless you want to spend a bunch of time waiting for the wheel to rev up.

When I was was on 1747 we used 3 Kit wheels from 08 (6") direct drive to a cim... it had plenty of power and was pretty accurate.With the current range of parts, it could be done using an FP in a planetary if you wanted to save the cims for the drivetrain.

the sytem used that as well.
