I probably wouldn't run it in a 4x4 though because I think it's more of a onroad motor. The only real way to know is try it out and temp check often.

I'm sure a rs pro would work but you would limit your self on gearing options to keep the heat down like a 9 tooth and then you would be slow. But with a rx8 you could pretty much gear to the moon and be fine!
