The new Holmes Hobbies Retro Sport motors are finally here!
Designed for vintage RC builds, Clod Busters, monster trucks, trail rigs, and classic projects, the Retro Sport line delivers strong performance without the premium price tag.
These 27-turn motors feature powerful magnets, a front ball bearing, and are available in both forward and reverse rotation versions, making them ideal for twin-motor applications and classic builds that need dependable power.
My goal was simple: create a motor that performs like a Holmes Hobbies motor should while remaining affordable enough for budget-conscious builders and vintage enthusiasts alike.
In this video, I walk through the features, specifications, design goals, and why I think these motors are a great fit for Clod Busters and other retro RC projects.
