Any kind of interest in a weight set to replace the traction magnets in a Tyco / Mattel 440X2?

I ask because I had my nephew machine some for me to gauge if there was any interest besides my own to turn some X2 into sliders.

Here is a pic -- traction mags are on top left for reference.

What is the price point of something nice quality like this? This is not brass or lead, it is some other non-magnetic very dense metal that he told me the name of and of course it escapes me now.

I know the time he spent on this, and what he gets paid, so I'd like to know if this is even economically feasible to be able to pay him a fair price for doing this for me.

I put a set in a Tyco F1 and on my big road course at 14v it was a nice slider. At 18v it was still easy and manageable in all but tightest turn, and at 22v the car was real handful.

He is also doing a bar magnet weight for the original Tyco 440 for me.

Any input from you guys would be appreciated. :)

I like the idea. Depends on the price point.

I recall someone doing 440-x2 weights before. I recall him getting the attention of someone with "interest" the the G-Jet because he used the name Tyco-Jet selling them on eBay. I don't know what became of it.

Edit: JW's sells a 440-X2 weight set. Linked in your other thread here.

great idea, even if I don't know how much it should cost...

440x2 are good candidate for non magnet racing, certainly because of the armature and gear ratio I guess? Even if I achieved the best results with the widepan version (you've seen my topic on the forum), because I was able to add some well balanced weight.

I tried to replace only the traction magnet with lead weight, and add silicon rear tires, the result was not as good as my widepan weights...
