Short answer: It could be done wtih time, talent, and money. If you
have to ask, then don't bother.

Success depends on the scale of the thing (weed whacker engines start to
become viable on 1/5 scale and larger), your experience with original
custom work (see www.ultimatetraxxas.com for an idea), and your patience
with driveline failure (electrics are designed for lower speeds, temps,
and torq ranges).
