Comment by Knut Graf on September 23, 2012 at 9:23pm: Over at store.diydrones.com. If go this route, don't forget to get the header pins and the cable too.

My internal mag stopped working when I damaged some contacts. There are some posts here about disabling the internal mag the right way, if needed.
