ok..........
Another thing, when u put them into the steering mechanism, do u glue them together before you place them into the steering thing?

Or do u jus let them attract each other naturally?

I know that.
Im just trying to find the dimensions in order to buy the magnets from a different magnet distributor.
Because QFM's magnets are out-of-stock.

You dont glue the magnets together, just glue the two of them into the steering arm thing. You can get the small ones at radioshack, cat #64-1895 (magnets ).

Go to the steering magnet mod, it will show how it affects the steering.

So far, Im convinced that they do improve your steering.

So these magnets in the radioshack site have the same dimensions as those at QFM?

(In other words, are they EXACTLY the same?)

I'm assuming, as the radioshack magnets are the same diameter as the stock ones, and two of them stacked are the same width.
