If you buy them with the gear, and bring them in unchanged, they do not count because they are not fabricated. If you buy them and modify the gears beforehand, they're fabricated. Fabricated parts count toward the withholding allowance weight.

Also, where did you find 9 legal Fisher-Price motors? (They're a new design this year, and have been relatively hard to buy until very recently. Old F-Ps are all illegal for 2011.)

Yes, they count towards the withholding allowance limit if you carry them into the event.
