- I'm a cheap Canadian son of a gun and while on a search to find some super sweet vintage motors to display in the hobby studio, I found myself floored at the prices these motors are going for! Over $300 for a used, vintage motor? Nah, not for this guy... What can I do???
Enter Holmes Hobbies. The crawler king has delved into the realm of retro RC and offered us a lineup too good to ignore! Watch, learn and enjoy all the neon!

Thanks for this! I am restoring an Optima Mid and considering updating the motor to one of the Holmes Hobbies retros. Now to pick which one!!!!
Ah good motor choice for a cool buggy like that! I'd try the 17T, see how she goes. I've got one in my Neo Fighter and it's awesome! 👍🏻
I love my Holmes hobbies motors they rock increase performance immediately!!love those stickers on the cans!
You've been running them, excellent! Glad to hear they're working well! 👌
Yes you will enjoy any motor or product for that matter from Mr John Holmes ,,, great company have a lot their servos motors ,, is my go to really… I have have Reef’s servo a shot and gotten few those!! Very nice products!! But Holmes for the win sir!!!!
@@evintacy7272 I've been using Hmes Hobbies products in my crawlers for years! Always been a big fan! That's partly why I was so surprised when I saw these retro motors for sale, I knew they'd be great! 😎
Nice video and great find on these retro motors. I am going to check them out 🙌🏻👍🏻
Excellent! I don't think you can go wrong with these. 🤙
They're cool motors, I have the 21 and the 19 turn. The 21 is in a Top Force with an 8:1 gear ratio, so I think it'll be doing really well, there, so far I'm only at the part in the build where I know it works, so I can't really say how good it is. A bit disappointing, I needed to remove the outer sleeve with the neon sticker to make it fit, bit at least I had a nice decal to put there. The 19 will go in a Kyosho Beetle this spring.
Cool to see a video on these, I'm happy you're featuring them.
Ah right on, you've picked up a couple of there, good man! 👍
Just bought the 15T for a project. Haven't installed it yet, but the quality looks great for the price.
Yeah you really can't go wrong with these motors. They seem a little slower than the advertised wind, but that might be just me. Overall I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. 🍻
I'm excited to see how it runs! Thanks. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year!@@poorboysrc
I've got a few old brushed motors from the late 80's early 90's luckily I hung on to them. Nice looking buggy brother! Decals 🤣
Deeeecals! 🤣🤣🤣
Good job hanging on to those old brushed motors, they're very collectable! Any new kits you're working on?
@@poorboysrc keyosho hang on rider
@@JeepsCafe oh sweeeet!!! Send pics! 😎
@@poorboysrc I will bud
I hear nothing but praise for Holmes Hobbies and these motors are so cool. I still run brushed only cause that is just my era and they suit my old retro RC's. Nice video and I don't blame you for getting the full selection 👊🏼
Holmes hobbies has been powering my crawlers for years and now they'll be powering my Tamiyas. Can't go wrong with his stuff! 👌
I was not aware those were a thing. I was just on his site the other day ordering a new crawler motor for a project I'm working on, I didn't even notice them in the lineup! I guess I was single track focused on the crawler motor! I have gone over and ordered all 4 of them now and with shipping was only $68 (sorry) so for the same price I can buy an old worn out Speed Gems motor from eBay I got 4 new motors! That is too cool! Thank you for pointing out what was already right in front of my face previously!!!!
I'm with you there pal, I certainly didn't expect to find these from Holmes Hobbies, but sure am glad I did. Good call buying all four! And like you said, it was still cheaper than one used speed gem. Cheers! 🍻
Very cool. I've always picked up the Green machine 2's and P2K's but I've got a hornet that could use an odd turn motor like that. Really a no brainer to use one of those over a silver can for the ball bearing alone.
Absolutely a no brainer! And at $15, you can't go wrong! 👊
Cool information but honestly my eyes keep getting drawn to that Futaba truck on the other bench
I've got a full restoration planned for that bad boy! Stay tuned! Oh, and check out my most recent video on TBG bodies, you'll see the body they sent me for it. 🍻
@@poorboysrc I most certainly will
Just picked up all 4 options for my several Tamiya projects. Thanks for getting the word out on some cool brushed motors. I look forward to seeing some running vids and possibly some comparison vids.
Right on, they're the perfect compliment for a Tamiya project! Running vids to come! 👊
Just got a 17t last week for a vintage hotshot project👍
Right on, 17T will get that Hotshot moving nicely! 👌
How does it perform with the 17t? Rocket?
@@Abszurdista-fatalistaReally well. I think it's the perfect motor for a hot shot.
Great information and cool motors
Thank you sir! 😊
The running video should be rad, wheelies and burn outs!
Haha yes sir! I hope I can get the BHM to wheelie, that would be awesome!!! 😎
Dude those are clean I’m gonna put one in my Honda City Turbo
That would look awesome in there!
that seem like a good price dang 😂 i can’t believe some are 300$ at that point get a 6s brushless
Right?!?! Seems crazy, but that's the market, I suppose. 👊
I was always a fan of my Kyosho Lemans motors back in the day. They wouldn't let me run my 360st in races, though. I find it funny that the number was the run time in seconds with a 1200mah battery.
Is that what that number meant? I had no idea, that's too cool!
@@poorboysrc yup. Strange but true. I guess the 360 was a 550 can so not allowed in racing.
@@PsychoticBovine very cool, learned something new today! 🍻
Those motors are awesome. Thanks for sharing and I can’t wait to see it in the blockhead running.
Praying for some good weather this weekend so I can get the Blockhead out for a run! 👌
i picked up all 4. how do you find them? i am waiting for mine to arrive.
I'm really happy with them. For the price, and the funky retro look, I think they're perfect. I'll be buying more of them down the line. 🍻
Did you ever get to test these ? Thoughts ?
Sure did! I ran the 19T in my Wild One Blockhead Motors video. It was awesome! I'll be buying more of them!
LMAO earnings !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha why not!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
If you really want your retro motors to look cool, you could buy reproduction decals for them too. The company that makes those decals is in Canada. I can not remember the name of the company, but I bet you know who they are. They are associated the another company in Canada by the name of MCI. Thoughts?
Absolutely, that's a great option! MCI is the decal company and TBG is the body company. They're based out of Ontario, Canada (which is where I grew up!).
Can someone tell me the rating batteries used on these? 2s only or can you run a 3s lipo. No one speaks on this nor is it on his site?
Personally, I have, and would again, use a 3S lipo with these motors. You'll wear them out faster by doing so, but they're so inexpensive that if I blow one up, it's not a big deal. 👊🏼
