|  magnets in the tires?
so i was watching the history channel "modern marvels" on magnets... they talked about what the strongest ones were made of so i searched ebay and found these. pack of 60 of them for about $20  each one of those lil guys can pull 5 pds. so if we glue them to the inside of our tires u think we could crawl up the fridge and on our trucks? |

Slot cars have "traction magnets" mounted to the chassis for more downforce without all the added weight. The magnets on some are strong enough to run a track completely upside down.... "Cliff Hangers" for example. Having them in the tires though... I'd think it should work. |

Might work well for all the Utah boys with the high iron content of the rocks out there.  |

If you run Moabs it will help because they with help with traction. It would be cool to make your own concrete course and put layers of bb's under the surface, just think of a 90+ degree slope.

if u glue it to the rim it should help make the tire conform to the track surface
