100% bad idea. Using the cog/carrier is no different than running a suicide system. Real fixed gear wheels with real track hubs are cheap now. Don't skimp on the one part that puts the fixed, in 'fixed gear'.
If you want a fast, safer suicide system, start red-loctiting all the cogs and bb lockrings onto suicide hubs you can find.
