Well, it's been many years (around '80-'81), but my brother and I used to play around with some small hobby motors (some were actually mini race car type, some were even smaller) a lot. We ordered them from one of the big mail order houses (Digi-key or Jameco, I don't recall). Look in the back of an electronics magazine to get some addresses for such places and check their catalogs out. The one's we ordered were a "10 motors for $5" grab-bag type deal. You probably won't find anything other than low-toque, high-speed motors, tho. -- Disclaimer: All spelling and/or grammer in this document are guaranteed to be correct; any exseptions is the is wurk uv intter-net deemuns.
