With brushed motors all you need is a switch to apply power to the motors. With brushless on the other hand, you cannot simply apply power to the motor in the same fashion. Brushless motors use 3 phases that need power applied in a sequence. You would need some kind of brushless controller to apply the power. I am sure this could be done if you are resourceful, but likely not worth the hassle.

Some high turn crawler motors should last a long time in a starter box.

I think i've seen several 35T motors being used in those when the factory ones inevitably get smoked
