Tomy Turbo upgrade?

Would anyone here be interested in stronger motor magnets for the Tomy Turbo?

Let me know, it could be I have some backing on this from a major player.

YES!!!!

And it would be even better if it had something to do with that chassis that you have shown us.

Sure, why not. Stronger motor magnets make for a cooler running arm. Would these be coupled with a stout greenwire arm in a can or do we have to open our cans to install the flux boosters?

What has happened is I have found a really good source of magnets, and the cost is reasonable. I can make the motors up in any configuration but of course that will increase the cost.

I will make up a few motors at the outset, and I have devised a walk-through for the changover.

So who many (pairs) do people want?

No, no these are motor magnets, totally bespoke.

Neo rounds are so cheap nowadays, I don't understand why people bust 'em out of toothbrushes, if they still do....

I thought the toothbrsh magnets were motor magnets too and shaped to fit the turbo chassis....they looked like they were made in the same place
