Small electric motors (probably for you hobby folks)

[Cobra]

so lately i've been rolling an idea around to build a little toy vehicle for my god-son (i say that but it's probably more for me anyways) and i wanted to use motor inside the wheels or at least mounted behind them but very shallow. The motors i wanted would have the housing rotate around the coils the closest thing i've seen are the ones in computer fans (i have one in pieces in my hand right now ) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... -Poles.jpg or a floppy drive one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... r_open.jpg
but i can't find any place that just sells that type of motors

well they sure do have an intresting selection a couple that might be adaptable for my application hard to tell for sure from the pictures tho. i guess i'll need a hands on to make sure it's what i'm looking for.... at least i can now phone a hobby shop and ask about park flyer motors before i start driving all over the city
