A friend of mine put one in his truggy and it helped him a lot. I don't know what your skill level is, but he's pretty new. The motor made the truck a lot easier to handle for him and he is now pretty fast with it. It is a little down on power compared to other motors I've messed with, but it's rock solid and runs great. It has just as much bottom as my RB K9, probably as much or maybe even better mid, but lacks on top. Our home track doesn't have a long straight so he doesn't notice it. When we travel to tracks that have a wfo section, he really notices the lack of top end. If you're concerned about the little lack of power, get Monty to do his magic on one for you. You'll still be right around the $200 mark and have a motor that is probably just as fast as the +4 in all areas.
