Anybody still used brushed motors?

I still use brushed motors.. for my drift car... I use the cheap $5 johnson ones... wouldn't spend $50 for a nice brushed motor... unless I was really into racing..

i still use brushed in my crawlers. lathe motors in my Clod and Stealth. it's just too dang expensive to buy 2 complete brushless setups for one truck (someone has a mod to run 2 BL motors off one esc, but i'm not that brave).

I have two Dewalt 14volt motors that I am still playing with. For the money I think they are the best deal on the market today. They are incredibly strong, and if you think about what they are designed for they never wear out. Plus they can handle much more than their suggested rating, because they are set up to do so much more than the intended use. So you can really power them up and go crazy with your truck and know that they will not be the first thing to go.

At the moment I have a tamiya wild dagger (2 gearboxes, ft and rr) running 2 traxxas 12t titan 550 motors. I am currently using a novak super duty esc and running it on 3s lipo. It is reasonably fast, 32mph IIRC. Runs fine and the motors say decently cool with some clip on heatsinks. Plus the traxxas motors are only rated for 8-9v but the work fine on 3s. Tons of power too!
