They were discontinued which is why everyone had them on the cheap.
I just bought some more EV warriors on ebay $20 ea. They were being sold as bicycle
motors on ebay. The site is:
http://www.industrialliquidators.com/wesell/evwarrior.html
They also sold me two extra connectors for $5 each - robotcombat is out of these as
well.
They sell CW and robotcombat sells CCW so it might be a good idea to pair them up.

I've been looking for a solution for this as well. Steve sent a link for a company
in England a while ago that had metric bored sprockets. I didn't buy it because I
didnt know what chain to use with it.
Right now I'm thinking of getting nylon sprockets from McMaster and drilling with an
8mm bit.
