Here is the webpage where I get my motors:

I usually get cat# DCM-204 and cat# DCM-166.
I have found that when removing the counter weight it is best to heat it first (I use mini torch) and then pop the weight with pliers. Maybe I am doing it the hard way but it is the only way I know.

I’ve seen post’s of people using pager motors. I have been saving old motorized toothbrushes for the motors. Before I had bought some 1.5 volt motors at Radio Shack. From what I understand the pager motors are great for 1/72 kits since they are so small. I haven’t tried getting any yet.

Try model railway suppliers. You can get some very small can motors down to 9mm x 16mm and smaller

Borislav,

Thanks for the web site for the pager motors. I’ll have to try them my next project.
