Some electrical questions

Hi guys. I would like to use some motors I pulled off an RC car with my vex controller, picture below:

The battery for the car was 6V. I'm assuming the motor would draw the most current when it's stalled, so I "stalled" the motor by holding the gear with a pair of pliers and the current was a little over 1amp.

Is it safe to use the two said motors? I don't want to let out the magic smoke

Thanks in advance,

Nathan
