I wouldn't.

After owning both, I'd have to say that the KDX frame would not like to be hit that hard. My guess would be the ass end would be constantly trying to swap places with the front end. A well tweaked KDX motor comes close to doing that anyway with a stock frame. If there's a weak point on the KDX, it's most likely the frame, not the motor.

I'd rather be a smartass like carvr, than a dumbass like.... well, you fill in the blank!
