Anybody still used brushed motors?

I loved my graupner speed 300 in my mini-t. Broke it in and it ran incredibly well. It would give my brushless a run for it's money, the brushless just had more top end. Sadly it died quickly as I didn't cover the holes in the sides. I have a stampede that's brushed as well. I have been finding that good brushed motors have been getting rare for a while now. I think this probably has a lot to do with the plane crowd going brushless. I wanted to stay brushed in my mini-t's as I didn't really have the cash to go brushless at the time but I found people were charging a fortune for brushed motors. I paid $30 for a graupner speed 300.
