Carrera F1 magnet size

Postby chrisngreg » Mon Mar 19, 2018 1:46 pm

I’m looking for the dimensions of the front and rear magnets from a circa 2015 Carrera F1 car. I have 2 larger magnets I need to cut down to get them to fit. Any help is appreciated

If you cut down neodymium magnets you would be likely to demagnetize them to a certain extent. In addition neo magnets are plated because they corrode rather quickly otherwise. I you look around you may be able to find magnets that have the correct dimensions.

Thanks for the info Rich. I’m hoping some kind soul has one of these cars and is willing to wrestle them out and get a dimension. Maybe some no-mag racers pulled them from their cars and has them for sale, or some magnet retailer sells them. I did not know cutting them could cause damage.
Thanks again
Greg
