Yes, its not advised really as its ment for 1/10's, not 1/8's or MT's. But I tried it and its an improvement slightly. You'll have to gear it down a little and you cannot run 12 cell NiMh or 4s. If you have it already the its worth tryin, but dont buy one for it. Try bigger canned motor and something that can handles 4s. Tacon has some cheap 3674, 4065 canned motors cheap. Maybe head to Ebay and get a 80A Xerun or Hobbywing SC8
