No, a prop or another motor is not constant enough of a load. However, drag is very easy. :)

Mount the motor someplace solid, so you can have the shaft hang off the end of a table. Get some string, make a few (two or so) loops around the shaft, and tie one end to something solid, and then hang a weight on the other free end. Instant drag! You can also adjust the load by adding more weight on the free end.

Eagletree is VERY nice. The V3 is going to be out soon, handles higher voltage, and there's now a 150A version available. I love mine, worth every penny.
