Yes, you can but you can also use the IFS-R pulleys and belts. Just be sure to use always the full set (diff pulleys and middle pulleys) of either the TA05 or the IFS-R (size of belts is adjusted to the respective pulley size!)

Still not sure if even this will be enough... 3racing should have designed one that uses the stock chassis brace.
I can fully agree with rebones. I did exactly what he is proposing and it works great, even with 4.5T and 2s LiPo. See picture. Without it, it won't last one single run...
