No, it cannot. 3.0 Amps is all the digital side can handle.
Also note that that motor is rated at 7.2 volts.
The "servo" jumper for power on the digital side car will provide 6.5 volts.

You'll be be able to run it at a lower voltage, as such a slightly slower RPM.
As long as it's not bound up, then the brief stall at start-up won't be a problem.
I would also put a 2.5 - 3.0 AMP fuse inline with the power lead for this motor.
You'll blow the fuse before tripping the sidecar.

So simply put, don't stall it.
