Push starting a brushed motor?

So, if I were to go brushless, can anyone recomend something close to stock? Does not have to be ROAR approved, I just don't want to go giving her to much power...
Is the VXL motor any good? is it near stock?

I checked on stock (17.5t) motors and I would rather not spend $75 to put a brushless motor in there consitering how little she would use it.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
