Motor wise can I put one of these with it?

Those 3 motors are all quite different - the first is a 540 size can, but the fins actually mean its a little smaller, so suits lightweight 1/10th cars, the third is a regular 540, and the middle one is much larger (42mm diameter, 74mm long, 5mm shaft, so requiring Mod 1 pinions), intended for 1/8th, the most suitable for a Vapor.

The other thing to consider is KV - are you running a 3S battery (11.1V) or 4S (14.4V)? The large 2000kv motor would well suit a 4S setup, but might be a touch slow on 3S (though it'll have massive torque anyway, so can be geared well up if you can get the right gear ratio to fit). 4S setups, it must be said, are pretty hot - it's a lot of power!
