Sure, you would just need to come up with a mount for the motor and then just swap it out. The new brushless systems have a lot of torque. If you used a lipo pack you might be able to get one small enough to fit where the fuel tank is now.
well i got thinking that if i re done the guts of the truck that i could get it to work with either lipo or nimh batteries. i thought about trying to get the motor where the tank is, the esc either where the motor is or the throttle servo and the batteries in the other spot that the esc isnt.
