You'd also have to check the gearing so it doesn't run too hot.
If you just want it for playing around and nothing too serious I'd go 2nd hand.
That's not true mate, people are running 2.5 & 3.5s in TCs with HobbyWing V2.1 ESCs

I've personally run a 4.5 in a buggy with a V2.1 and it wasn't any warmer than with a 5.5 to be honest.
