Found some tiny neo magnets at my local hardware store the other day,and followed this link on the pack:

Some interesting stuff on there if you like to tinker around.The neo magnets I bought were small enough to glue to the bottom of one of my JLTO's,and MAN did it stick to the track.Not really useful I guess,but a heck of a lot of fun just the same.

Might check into finding the right diameter neo ring magnet and cut it down to fit in a t jet chassis to see what happens.

Mike, I put neo dot traction magnets on most of the Tjets I run.........it definately helps you plant the power to those JLTO's thru the corners....without having to always marshall yourself... :jest:

Here's another great resource for some cheap but strong Neo magnets......

I agree with TX about kjmagnetics. 1000 neos the size of Radio Shack rare earth mags for $40 is an awesome deal. Had mine two days after the auction ended. I also picked up 6 sets of their Tyco X2 neo traction magnates. Put a set in a stock Tyco chassis to see what they would do. I can keep the control pegged and it only deslots on one corner. Time to break out a spud arm.

Mike, shoot me your address and I will mail you a couple pair of the neo dots.

I have been oh so tempted to snag a few sets of those Tyco neo traction magnets...... I also want to snag a cube of those 1/8" neo dots...... KJ has some GREAT prices considering that most slot shops sell 5 of those neo dot traction magnets for $5.... :thumbsup:

http://stores.ebay.com/K-J-Magnetics_W0QQsspagenameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm Hey TX, I went and took a look. What size neo's do you get??? The ones I bought awhile ago at the Shack were about 1/4 inch diameter but the ones I saw on the website are bigger. Just curious.

I used one of the disc magnets I bought the other day and it worked great.My son was quite impressed too.

Jeff, the neo's I've been using are like an 1/8th of an inch in diameter....and maybe a 1/16th of an inch thick ......... KJ also carries some REALLY small micro dots as well...... but I prefer the ones I just mentioned. At that size they are easy to glue onto the chassis......any smaller and you'll need a magnifying glass... :jest:
