If so, you could just slap a weight onto it like you'd see in the handle of one of those clear PS2 controllers (or something likewise that'd generate more vibration) and be better off than using the compressor. (Assuming it gets enough RPMs... I've never used one, I wouldn't know)
they did include one mabuchi motor this year. I was looking at the data sheet for it and if I remember right, it spins at 4000 rpm. It is a powerful motor for it's size, and it should have no trouble for what you recommended. We have never used one either, though.
