Yes, you just keep the brake servo in place and use channel mixing. On the ESC I assume you disable the braking program. Not many reasons to use a mechanical brake, though I know a few people who have it setup that way. Most of the time its because people kept a 2spd transmission in the car, and need someway to slow it down.

I've even seen setups that use a traditional nitro clutch so soften the low end punch of the electric motor and make it more tractable.
