Hi Bro welcome to Scale RC!
It can work however since its plane/heli tx the throttle(up/down) isnt spring loaded so the stick doesnt rest on center or neutral zone like those of tx for cars. The left stick is normally for gear shift(<>) and throttle(up/down). Im not sure but maybe if you open it up you might be able to put a spring that will keep the stick center.

Another however is, you might loose some of the feature of tamiya lights and sound function if you plan to use one. But the good thing is you will get better range and glitch free than Tamiya 4WD Attack AM tx/rx.

Hope it helps
