Magnet source for improved steering mod
 
So, my kid brings home this little skateboard guy with these VERY powerful magnets on the bottoms of his feet. The magnets are intended to hold the little guy on the skateboard. Man, these little magnets are strong...and small, and disc sized...and about just right to replace the ceramic steering magnet on Bits, ZZs, whatever. These little creatures/guys are available at Wally World for $3-4...and you get 2 magnets...one on the bottom of each of his little feet! I appropriated one of the mags ....had to leave the other intact so the kid wouldn't freak. If this works, I'll take pictures. I'm not trying to take business away from anyone actually selling rare earth magnets, these may not be as strong as those anyway, I just thought this would help people without access to REMs.

Bit Char-G is all about modification. So alternatives would be nice, don't have to worry about running out on QFM because if someone wants something else on QFM (batteries, spring), they'd definetely tack on their earth magnet to the cart.
