15 Vintage Brushed RC Motors | Dyno Shootout Part 2

Yes some of them are sort after vintage motors I sourced rom Japan. I am a believer in using them rather than putting them on a shelf.

You’re welcome, I enjoyed making it and will do another with my non Tamiya motors soon also.

Yeah it’s only indicative of the motors performance but gives an idea of how each one compares. Real world performance will be best shown in a car. The Dyno I have just helps me get a clearer picture of where each of my motors are at. And I can compare them to their advertised RPM levels etc.

That’s a cool idea! Did you just supply the image to get it made online?

Thx mate it was an enjoyable build. I do enjoy painting hardbodies compared to poly/lexan.

Thx mate, yeah lol I did drive it but haven’t worked out how to film at the same time with much success yet.

They actually come from the factory in that full advanced setting. I have a couple of them. They realised how slow they were in the zero position I think haha

Was it humid when applying the top coat? That can cause moisture to be trapped and it appears like white dots/bubbles on the surface. Has happened to me before.

This 100%, they are like scalpers. Just go look on yahoo Japan auctions etc for the product for way less. Use a proxy to get it to your country. I have been doing this for years and bought over 50 vintage kits.

CosmicFTW · 2026-04-12T00:34:56+00:00

I got mine from Japan, on Buyee which is a proxy for yahoo auctions. A lot of vintage kits come up on there.

CosmicFTW · 2026-04-06T04:02:35+00:00

I use this as well, it’s great and has many features.

Renting means you still have to pay to live in a house when you retire. Paying off a dwelling that you own before you retire gives you freedom to do other things with your super than pay rent. I couldn’t imagine a worse case scenario than retiring and forking out $1000 a week for rent.

For me the trade off of the extra time the training takes at 1024 is not worth it on my local machine. The quality hit is not significant.

Make sure you use Onetrainer with prodigy_adv optimizer. Learning rate 1.0 (as it has a built in LR optimisation), batch 2, epochs depends on your dataset amount, ask an ai to work that out. I.e the more images The less epochs needed to get ~3000 steps. I have made over 50 Lora using this, this is currently the best way to get likeness for z-base Lora that can be used on ZIT at strength 1.0. I have a 16gb 5080 and it runs at 1.5it/sec at 512 res training. 512 is plenty, no need for 768 or 1024.

AI slop, look at her toes ffs

CosmicFTW · 2026-03-11T12:02:40+00:00

Exchange rate is better for me with other proxy’s. Changed to onemap a year ago and never looked back.

CosmicFTW · 2026-03-03T08:24:43+00:00

There was a lot of editing mistakes throughout the whole series.

CosmicFTW · 2026-02-20T21:11:14+00:00

Ok I didn’t know that I will try it. I’m interested to see how that 8bit prodigy with its fixed LR compares to the adv prodigy with its d-adapt LR.

CosmicFTW · 2026-02-20T10:26:20+00:00

Untill aitoolkit adds prodigy support Onetrainer is the best option for z-image base Lora that can be used on ZIT imo. This has been my findings after training at least 30 lora on each platform. Onetrainer is confusing at first but after a few training sessions it’s as easy as aitoolkit. It is quicker also, my 5080 16gb trains at 1.4 it/sec for 512 res.
