I've got a Novak Three-80 10.5T (with Mongoose ESC!) that was purchased way back just for that purpose. Part of the problem was that the motor has far too much power on 2s LiPo; Novak rates it about the same power output as a 13.5T 540! On 1s LiPo it's about right, and the lighter weight made the car balance much better.
