It is possible, but this requires hardware modification to the motor. The main problem is that starter motors do not have permanent magnets to create the armature's (the part of the motor that doesn't move) magnetic field. Furthermore starter motors are designed to deliver high power for relatively short periods of time, and, therefore, do not make very effective or efficient continuous motors. Information on how to modify starter motors can be found on the Internet. Starter motors are not recommended for use with Roboteq's controller .
