the motor armatures you can't buy anymore. the companies stopped manufacturing them and selling them. you'll have to get old stock motors and open those up and take the armature out of those. motor winding needs you to be able to solder presicely and to wind consistently. also you have to have a fine touch to ba able to scrape the enamel off of the winding wire without cutting the enameled wire in two.

a pic of how it should look:

that's one of mine. it's a double wound one, so there's actually 2 strands of wire per pole
this was wound on a xmod stage 1 armature(you'll have to take all the old wiring off of it)
