Brushed mod motors extinct?

Brushed mod motors extinct?
I was trying to hunt up some replacement motors or arms for our mod stash and everyone's out of stock. I can still find plenty of stocks and specs but I see that AE is clearancing out all their Reedy's on their ebay store; Horizon, Tower and Stormer all have only random single winds and a few low-end Flash/Speed Gems left. How will I keep the SBV2 going faster than 1/8 scale buggies without a fresh 10d?
Is this the end of the Mod motor era? Are we all doomed to run brushless? ....will...not...be...converted...aaaagh!
What will all the RTR bashers do when their Titan 12's and LRP 15's bite the dust after no maintenance?

Holy crap, you're right. I just looked on tower's site and they discontinued all the Orion Revolutions except for the 12T and 14T.
Looks like all Brood has is Checkpoints:

yeah, we do have a significant investment in brushed stuff with 20+ cars in the family. Cost of conversion is one issue, but the brushless stuff we've tried just doesn't have the same feel to it. One of my drivers cleaned up on the 4wd buggy class this past weekend, and was the only brushed motor in the field. He was also the only one not spinning wildly through most of the turns.

RC DAD, I don't want to sound like an R/C ad, but we
are still making mod motors and armatures.
You can order any hand-wound armature you want from us.
Give me a call, 626-963-0422 or e-mail me, [email protected]

I am not saying you are like this but alot of guys I see who say they don't like brushless only brushless experience is a Mamba from 2 years ago or the first generation NOvak. The stuff out now is awesome.
