is the mugen mbx 5 raceworthy as a electric?

i have a almost new mbx5 buggy,that i know isnt worth selling,it has a fiorni chassie,shock towers and braces,not sure on weight. my electronics will be tekin rx8 wit a 1900 or 1700 motor on 4s,so i have heard people say to buy truggy motors instead of buggy motors, what do u think
