mamba max esc+mamba motor

my friends esc blew up a couple of days ago:035: [emaxx] and he wants to replace it with a brushless so i want to get one to. he wants to get the mamba max esc and the trinity n80, will this work good . and i have decided that i want to get the same esc but get one of the mamba max motors but it said do not run in 1/10 monster truck. could i still use that choice and if i could not why.
