Yes, our later machine the VMC 1300 Pro uses a Baldor 6000RPM servo motor.
Be aware that the spindle head bearings are upgraded on the PRO machine, they are better quality and a matched, preloaded pair.
...the standard VMC 1300 machine uses the same bearings and a similar spindle to the Triac machine you will have.

You could still fit a servo without changing the bearings if you keep the speed to 4000RPM max.
