Jin's tip of the day: Need rare earth magnets? I got ya covered!

Postby Jin Saotome » Mon Sep 10, 2007 12:36 am

Like some of us you may want to attach extra parts to your Transformers and Rare Earth magnets are pretty useful. RadioShack has a pack of two for around $3. However I found a MUCH more plentiful supply in MagnaWheels Street Racers. These are little car-kits by Mega Bloks brand 'Magnetix'. I picked up the Dodge Viper for a blower/pipes for my Hot Rod custom and was thinking what I could do with the leftover car. One pair of clippers and five minutes later I had SIXTEEN rare earth magnets. Eight thin and eight stocky. They're round and about the same diameter as the radioshack magnets. The MagnaWheels are $8.99-$10 putting the magnets at sixy cents each or so. They're more powerful as well! So the next time you need some magnets, snag a MagnaWheels Street Racer kit and cack the magnets out of that. You'll even end up with rubber tires, engines, and extra stuff to use on your customs to boot!

Here's a pic of the leftover magnets. I used a bunch of the flat ones in my last customs so the stack isn't as big as it was. All that came from the one viper kit there!

Nice find!
I've seen those in the shops and considered buying one just out of curiosity anyway.
