+**Update (2022-03-24): As a result of the popularity of this project, it seems like the recommended motors are unfortunately no longer available.** The seller is cancelling orders (after claiming they had already shipped), including an order I had placed *before I even publicized this project*, so I have removed the link to the AliExpress listing, and recommend that you avoid "Classic Motor Store" due to these shady practices. I would be wary of other sellers as well, as I expect that these motors are simply no longer in production and therefore limited stock is available (for future reference in case you find them for sale elsewhere at a higher price, they were originally selling for US$2.53 each before this project was published). In any case, I would recommend waiting to purchase other components until you have *received* the motors. I'm very sorry for this turn of events, and will keep an eye out for new motor availability going forward.

Requires advanced soldering experience to build - reflow and/or small-pitch surface-mount soldering are required, and assembly is quite time-consuming and delicate.

This is overall the easiest motor to get started with. Low cogging and a built-in diametric magnet are great!

-If the AliExpress listing above is out of stock, this [other listing](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001356858801.html) appears to be identical, but I am currently waiting for delivery to confirm it is actually the same, so purchase with caution.
