Default anyone still using brused motors????

i have been playing with brushed motors for years.. wound thousands at my stint at the motor room in trinity.. now i have lathes and dynos colecting dust. my question is.. as far as the brushless go. they seem great for racing so far havent had a rotor comeapart but if u reallt load these up will they handle the heat and stress as well?? this was an ongoing debate betwen me and my friend last week.. so i ask what your opinion is...

most crawlers still used brushed motor, I have one of 4 rigs that is brushless.

Brushed motors work great for scalers as they do well in water and muddy situations if you clean them. where a brushless motor i the same situation would have problems because of the sensor required to not get cogging on most crawlig systems. I still prefer brushed over brushless because I know brushed motors fairly well.

brushed motors in my XR10 crawler, fine at (very) low speed.
Brushless in my eRevo, speed, fast, no slow driving.

Definately brushed in all my crawlers except for the Losi MRC.

Brushless in everything else.

I only run brushed (although a small brushless may be in my MRC's future). This includes my 12th & 10th pan cars.

Sensored brushless is gaining some traction in crawlers, but they are more geared to faster vehicles.

On my on road cars , I must have the brushless but for crawling ....Brushed is the way to go. But I must admit I want the sensored brushless for my scaler soon as ..Maybe may try the HH hand motor next before the brushless.
