Can anyone recommend a good place to get consistantly find electic motors suitable for props? With ebay, I'm never able to find exactly what I'm looking for. Monsterguts seems like a cool resource, but very limited selection and they are out of stock on several things this time of year it would seem lol.
I've just barely cut my teeth helping with a haunted trail this year and I'm already thinking about next year lol

If you go the junkyard route get older model motors....motors that aren't needed very much because there's not a lot of cars in their age. I always ask for late 70s, 80s or early 90 wiper motors. Not a huge market for them and for the most part they're just taking up space. $10 each or 5 for $35.00
You can find a lot of decent priced motors here
