Similar to other ground loot in Arc Raiders, Motors are also affected by the randomized spawning mechanic. This is why you may not find the exact item at the same spot consistently. However, these are some of the areas where you have a higher chance of finding the Motors. Although Spaceport has a greater number of Mechanical POIs, the Parking Garage area in Buried City (located between Hospital and Space Travel) could potentially help you farm this resource faster. Make sure to go through all of the floors in the garage, breach, and then open all the hoods on the wrecked cars.
The cars contain a healthy amount of loot, and you might find some Motors directly from this spot. For other Mechanical category POIs, make sure to search through all lockers, cabinets, and containers.
