Rare Earth magnets..

We havent tested them yet because we havent figured out a way to mount them that we are happy with. Its either we shave the magnet down (I dont know if this will negatively affect the magnets power or not) or modify the harness that the stock magnet is on. We are open to suggestions as well. Take at look at the magnet and let us know if you have any ideas. Our emphasis is on clean mods (yes, even though this part cant be actually be seen when assembled).

Radio Shack Item info:
Rare-Earth Super Magnets
$1.59 Reg. Price
Cat.#: 64-1895

There are a ton of sites that give info about them. try these:

1. http://www.rareearth.org/
2. http://www.dansdata.com/magnets.htm

The second site has great info on how to apply this stuff to motors toys etc. and has great pictures that show the true power of a rare earth magnet.

This will eventually become a new mod on Questformadness.com but we are back in fall session at college and its become harder to find time to update the site. Sorry, for taking so long to post "striderpunk" and I hope this helps.
