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

I have the vxl system in my sand rail, and while a lot of people prefer the castle systems it works great for me. A lot of people use the vxl motor with a castle esc.

What batteries do you have now? A 7 cell would probably be about right. I have a 3s lipo and she goes pretty good.

Maybe I just had a bad experience, but I put probably 4 or 5 brushed motors in my slash and could not keep them running. I could have just gone brushless in the first place. Also, if the truck is too fast for her you can program it into training mode, where you will get 50% power until she gets used to it.
