This subject was thrashed fairly thoroughly a number of months ago, and I
remember that the conclusion is no, not if the engine and transmission is left
assembled as instructed. Now that the news search function is reestablished,
you have a chance to find those previous messages. Now, what I did was empty
out the interior and install a five speed transmission like the 8448 but this
meant that the steering link fore and aft had to be lowered to go around the
wider transmission and I'm pretty sure that all counts as cheating for what you
want to do. However, it does leave a space behind the seats to install a motor
analogously to where the 8448 mounts a motor relative to the transmission, so
it's the same setup and the chassis moves as expected.
