I have an old Robitronic that works pretty well on brushed motors. It is a flywheel dyno that measures both torque and speed, so it can calculate output power. These occasionally (rarely!) show up used on Ebay or here on RCTech.

The Robitronic has an internal resistance to simulate NiCd/NiMH cells, so it won't be too accurate if you run your motors on LiPo. But for comparisons between two similar motors the data is still useful.
