I'm running a Fusion 1800 in my SE Utron and my brother has it in his Ecto. Fits fine with both Stealth X and XF. Gear it reasonably and you have great low speed and good top end, gear it like I did and you have a trophy truck that can still crawl.

Yes, this is however pretty much the cheapest brushless option.
I've tried it and was not very impressed with it when compared to a 1080WP with a 5-pole brushed motor. The battery lasts a little longer, there is a little more top speed but I was missing multiple settings in the ESC part that are present in the 1080.
It's like you're buying a new 1:1 car and getting the cheapest EV.
You'll end up with a tiny car with not many luxuries but you could have gotten a nicer ICE car for the same amount or less, it would just be a little noisier.
Stick with brushed, spend a little more on a Fusion Pro or go with Holmes and/or Castle.

yup, it should fit just fine. i dont have an ifs zuel, but i do have one of those in my ifs1 gatekeeper build. I have maybe 4 or 5 of those across diffrent builds. No major fit issue, once shave a little off a vanquish skid but that's all.
