Default brushed equivilant to 17.5T brushless

Hey guys, sorry about the noob-ish question but I can't find the info I'm looking for via search...

I've been bashing nitro's forever, and decided to get into some indoor onroad electric racing for the winter to keep my friday nights busy. The group I'm running with seems to run 17.5 brushless motors, and brushed motors. I'm just not sure what type of brushed motor they run that competes with a 17.5T brushless. Can anyone elaborate on this for me?

I have a brushed setup kicking around, (stock motors, ESC, NiMh's) and that's why I figure I'll use it. Just cheaper (for now) so I don't have to make the swap to brushless. Maybe do that next year...

If you can suggest a good motor to run that would compete with these guys. We're running 1/10th 4WD TC's on carpet. Winding course, not an oval. I'll be running a Cyclone TC.

Thanks everyone!
