Anybody still used brushed motors?

[johnrobholmes]

With the demise of astroflights 05 line, velcom stopping motor production, and brushless motor ESCs becoming affordable, high performance brushed motors seem to be becoming a thing of the past. Bob wont make the pullmasters anymore, and for some applications a brushed motor works best. Anybody else here even use brushed motors anymore? I don't in any of my bashers, but in my crawlers they work well. It has been quite the task to find anybody willing to go out of the box of the standard Roar legal design, even though racing is but a tiny part of RC use in the U.S. Anybody else feel my pain on this?
