Buy motors here. BAR is an on-site supplier at almost every NorCal launch.
Call beforehand to make sure your item is actually in stock (do not trust website), then order online for pickup at launch.
Increase your chances of getting your order by picking it up before launch, and ordering two weeks in advance.

Also carries motor hardware (casings, closures), although stock may be limited for closures and seal discs.
