They turn higher RPMs and aren't as good at changing speeds, but it'll work.
Sorry thats incorrect.

W8ye is correct, they have a shorter crankshaft that can lead to troubles fitting a prop, washer and nut correctly.

Also the carbs are optimized for mid range rather than high end, but other than that they work like any other model engine.
