I have run an outrunner in a 1/8 buggy before. It worked fine. It actually ran pretty good once I got the ESC set up to work well with the motor. Didnt have any issues with dirt or anything.
Here is a picture I found of the old setup. It was back in 2006 in a CEN Matrix. Not exactly a pretty setup, but back then all of the mounts and stuff were home brew. You couldnt just go buy all the 1/8 stuff like now days. It was a 2000kv Cyclon motor I ran on 5s and a Mamba Max.
