Raguvian & etivac13 are exactly right. Not that you need to buy this one, but something similar will do : http://www.commonsenserc.com/product...hh5om9k9d01596

Either a 6800 on 2s or a 5400 on 3s... though if you don't want to go lipo even an 8000kv on 6 cells might not get to 35mph.
I wouldn't count on a brushed motor getting you to 35 mph btw.

RE: what to do
what sort of budget are you working with ? you could grab a venom fireball motor for like 10 bucks and a 2s lipo bat. for like 12 bucks and a cheap charger/balencer for another 10 or so that would get you moving along better then stock for sure

RE: what to do
Your out of your mind if you think you cant get 35mph out of a brushed motor.
I have used Reedys Modified with great success and they are great little motors. Of course other people will say that there are better motors but just remember that everybody is going to have favorites so look more at actual stats.
