It would be cool, but there will not be enough air flow to sufficiently cool the engine.

It has been tried and does not work. You also need very precise toque that a nitro engine can not deliver. It is a cool idea in theory but just would never work. Even with cooling fan you will be over heating. Gearing is not commercially available to do that because.....well, it just does not work.

You'll burn out your clutch in one tank. There's a reason no one makes a nitro version.
