Build my own 1/5 scale buggy with these motors?

[tlocus]

Hi I got these motors from a tennis ball machine launcher. Wondering if they would be good for a rear wheel w/ motor per wheel drive. I already have a sabertooth 2×25Amp motor controller/ ESC and a spare Futaba receiver. Motor diameter is 3” and a length of 4”
Here’s a pic and specs of the motors:

I would try it.

Yah I'd guess it can't hurt to try but might be kind of a waste since motors aren't "too expensive" a new BLDC motor like the Turnigy SK3 6374 is pretty close to this size wise and at least specs wise you'll get way more oomf out of it with an appropriate speed controller (VESC or O-Drive are some good open source options for wheeled vehicles can control max current, braking current, low voltage cut off and accept a wide range of control inputs). I bounce between this forum and the esk8.news forum when bored

I also recently stumbled on this video that while a bit dry is really super informative on how various "AC"/Induction/Mixed Permanent Magnet electric motors work:
