Default Motor Questions

Hey guys, I apologize if these questions have been answered elsewhere.

I'm going to be racing stock off-road truck on a smallish track. I'd like to get a couple of EA's motors to start with, and figure the monster-based stock will be the best for my needs for its torque.

So, first off, is that the correct motor choice for my needs? And if so, what brushes should I use in this motor, and how should I maintain them? I don't mind giving up a little bit of power so I don't have to cut the com after every run. Is the Putnam blue/green combination a good choice? Do I need to reserate the brushes after a while, or just replace them when they're half gone? How about springs?

Help! :-)
