Magnets?

[SMFtwstdHICK]

I know it has been discussed in here before and that there are few threads in here that show this..

BUT..

I can't seem to find them. lol..

Anyone using small magnets on their rigs to hold their bodies on? Would like to see what size these magnets are? Maybe where to get em?

Thanks in advance and my apologies for starting a thread like this.

I've used them before. Never could find magnets good enough to hold though. I always seemed to knock them loose on simple stuff.

I had 4 of these 'N50 Neodymium Magnets Dia 1/4x1/16" NdFeB Rare Earth' on my Beast RV and they were ok~ish.
Then I upgraded to these 'N42 Neodymium Magnets Dia 3/8X1/16" NdFeB Rare Earth Disc' and there are no issues with anything moving anywhere.

I just use hot-glue to hold them in place.

Some pics of what I used.

I started off with ¼” magnets and drilled out some locator holes in the bed sub-frame. This worked ok, but did not feel strong enough and was actually a little difficult to position.
I got the ¾” ones and had to make some mounting locations for them to the chassis which helped align them on the underside of the coach. You can still see the ¼” ones in the bed frame. I can 'almost' lift this rig up by the coach section. It starts to pivot too much forward and they slip along their surface. If the rig was more balanced I think the 4 ¾” magnets would lift without a problem.

I used 8mm rare earth magnets from Hobby Lobby. Like $5 for a pkg of 12. Very strong magnet to magnet.


For the rear and the front on my Blazer to Dinky interior I used them magnet to magnet.








Then on the sides I drilled holes through bottom edge of interior and used Goop to hold magnets in.
Then Gooped small metal plates inside bottom edge of body.




I can pick the loaded truck up by the body.
