I did this mod yesterday, and yeah.....it works out pretty good. Got my rare earth mag. from Rad Shack for approx. $1.50. Just make sure that mug is centered, and the polarity is right!!!

The rare-earth mag. seems to make my bit a little more responsive to the controller.

I've heard that the rare-earth mags. can increase your chances of donuts, but soft tires would lessen....hard tires increase....the chances.

4 bits...... 4 rare earth magnets. They work great!! I was a little suspicious too, but they are amazing. My bits turn so much faster and it is a very crip turn to.
Also, I found that it fixed a steering problem I had. My bit would make a very sharp turn to the right. When I turned it to the left, my bit made a very gradual and wide turn. The rare earth magnet corrected that.
I really recommend this mod!

miniwrx - read this
Your right/left steering problem wasn't fixed by the rare earth magnet per se...it was fixed because you mounted it centered on the steering linkage. Your old magnet was off center.
