TWO yes, 2 - BLOCK Magnets, that measure
1" long, 1/4" wide x 1/16" thick.
AND JUST HAPPEN TO FIT IN SLOTCARS !!
Magnetised thru the 1/16" thickness
THESE ARE SUPA STRONG MAGNETS THAT GIVE MOST SLOT CARS A SUPA AMOUNT OF TRACTION.
Here's what a racing pro says about these little beauties:
Neodymium TRACTION MAGNETS!!!!
how cool are these! if you have a big track and get fed up of clambering over your lay out to get to that car that keeps coming off in the middle of a race then invest in some of these!!!! i had cars i wouldnt use for the reason i couldnt keep them on the track, then i tried some of these. now i have too many cars to use. so easy to install, pop the old one out and slot the new one straight in! its that easy. i thought i would lose a bit of speed as they are powerful but no, i could still win races. i could even put my car on a single piece of track and lift the car and the track stuck!!!!
they will even fit in any car that doesnt use the long magnets. i tried a bit of super glue and stuck the magnet inside the back of the car!!! worked a treat!!!
these magnets are the best thing any racer can buy to upgrade their cars. no need for super tuned engines as the faster you go, you are sure to crash. NOT WITH THESE MAGNETS.how can anyone beat you when their car is on the floor not the track?
the price is excellent as well. i bought a couple magnets from a scalextric shop for double the price and they were no better than i already had.
do yourself a favour, buy traction magnets and beat the kids or anyone at your club everytime.
And you are bidding for TWO of these amazing magnets.
People have used these for oodles of other things as well, they are great as rails for maglev experiments or simply for holding some real heavy stuff. You are really only limited by your imagination.
The best way of uses these is thru playing and discovery. Very educational too.
Be Careful!
All magnets have certain risks and dangers associated with them. These NdFeB magnets are much stronger than magnets most folks are used to, so even a seemingly small magnet could be full of surprises! Small NdFeB magnet pose little risk, although one should be careful around electronics and magnetic storage medium - especially if you're handling a large stack of them! Pinch Hazard: Larger magnets (NdFeB magnets larger than a 5p) are strong enough to pinch fairly hard should one get his/her fingers in between two of them, or between steel/iron and a magnet. They're Brittle!: These magnets are brittle. Should two magnets snap together hard, or snap onto a ferrous surface, they could break or chip. Electronics and magnetic storage medium: Magnetic fields can temporarily, or permanant damage certain electronic devices and magnetic storage medium. Keep them away from computers, computer monitors, cassette tapes, floppy disks, etc. With smaller magnets, you should be safe if you keep them at least 12" away. But again, if you have a large stack - a little extra care and distance would be appropriate. Health Risks: There are no known health risks to handling magnets EXCEPT: Certain pacemakers or any other electronic health devices could be affected. Don't handle magnets if you wear a pacemaker or any other electronic health device unless you get your doctors approval! Pregnant women should probably avoid strong magnetic fields. Like any other potentually dangerous item or substance, these magnets are perfectly safe when treated with care and stored properly. Treat them with the same respect you would power tools, knives, ammunition, etc. Your magnets (unless they're small refrigerator magnets) should be kept in a safe place away from electronics and out of the reach of children. Properly stored and carefully handled, these magnets are perfectly safe and should last a lifetime!
