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.
