I think it's way too much power. The vxl is actually larger than most brushed motors of it's class. It can be done, but you would probably have to run a very small pinion to keep the power in check some. I was thinking of droping one in a mini-t, but I don't think you could use the available power, it would just spin and wreck the drivetrain.
