how well does it work? draw backs?

i used the magnet in a (shen) bullet clone. the thing is soooo much faster turning when im doing donuts on my hard wood floor it lifts the outside back whell.One of the drawbacks ive noticed is with a full charge at full speed its easyier to flip the car over but this has to be becouse of the short whell base.i had the same magnet on my zip

rip.And the magnet proformed great.my advice is $1.59 mod,why not.

Very well. Makes things more crisp than anything and probably has a faster responce time.

Where do you find that magnet in Radio Shack. The section.

You find it in the magnet section..... really, they have a small section of magnets...LoL

Just ask one of the sales associates there.

ya when i got my magnet i dint look i just asked the girl at the store if they had any rare earth magnets and she got it for me.

they are individually packaged and hanging on a rack. dont count on a radioshack employee knowing where anything is. i got one the other night at a different radioshack than the one i usually goto and asked the guy where they were and he told me they didnt have any. so after a minute or two i found them and asked him if they had springs and he said no but i was in a hurry so i didnt go find them myself.

but hey they didnt ask for my name rank and serial# at the register. nor did they try to sell me a 400$ cell phone this time.

It took me a couple of minutes, You can actually follow the part numbers, sometimes they actually have them in numerical order, but it was pretty easy and they had plenty of this things!

NOW Springs?? what's the deal with those? do you have aparts number?

hogjowlz · #12 12-16-2002, 11:27 AM

no. i just figure that they need to sell springs for something. they may not.
