Can you use a hobbygrade brushed esc and reciever?

This will be my first post, new to the site.

My question is can you rip all the electronics out of a xmod, solder the motor to a brushed esc, and put a micro reciever in it, and hook up the brushed esc and servo up to it.

Seems like it would be a great setup, since they sell tons of micro 10amp brushed esc's now


thanks in advance
