Put some wax paper between the magnets when glueing, good way to not stick them together, and makes the glue dry flush with the magnet.
That's a great tip, thanks!
Be careful smashing those magnets when they are in your hands. When they reach their limit of impact they shatter/explode. Little pieces fly everywhere. I’ve used tons of magnets with my job. Great video though!!
That is incredible that it pulls the metal out!
Thank you for the tutorial.
Likely to be my first Gen8 mod.
Your Gen8 reviews and comparisons are the best so thanks for that.
Thanks for the video! tomorrow I will get my Gen8 Scout based on your reviews and the first mod will be the magnets :)
Great video! Love the magnet setup. Wish more companies would just do away from the body pins. Got to do the magnet with the lights connection next🤔
I've been using Shoe Goo for years. In fact, I'm using it on a custom Gen8/Axe body build right now. The secret with Shoe Goo is that it really needs 48hrs to dry. Even 24hrs is not enough time in my experience.
@ShaneFix
I do the same. Shoe Goo has been very good to my magnet setups.
ive also just finished my 4dr jeep hardbody build using shoe goo! i let it sit for more then 24h before use!! if not its not going to work.. use spare magnet to put behind the body to ensure proper placement
Ring magnets work best, self centering
Great video, nice fix on the dancing lights in the background! Regarding magnets, I've been using the ones with a hole on body post and shoegoo flawesly for a while now. A quick and very useful tip, you should put a layer in between of the magnets like a piece of tape when you are glueing the magnets to the body so the glue doesn't stick to the magnets on the chassis. Great video as always.
That cab-less body is really cool!!!
Supercool idea! Very convenient. Keep up the great content, as usual! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the info, I was curious about magnetic mounts! Great vid !😌✌️🙏
No problem 👍
I used JB Weld to hold the magnets on my Gen 8's with great success & no failures. I also used just one 3/4" magnet per inner fender placed on the outer most recess. I glue the magnets to the inner fenders first with the body side magnet attached so that I avoid the polarity issue you talked about. Once dry, I flip the body over & apply glue to the body side magnets (still attached to the inner fenders to insure perfect alignment) & set the chassis into the body & let it all cure. So far so good. Great info, good job 😜
Yeah I think that may be a better bet. The JB weld failed on 6 of the 8 I glued on.
did this to my RGT EX86100. glad i found this video , thanks a bunch.
right on!
@@RCReviewChannel i smashed a couple magnets though 😅
I had a 76 scout 2 with a 345ci v8. Best off road vehicle I have ever owned.
Definitely doing this to my gen 8
Been using shoe goo for a couple of year, haven’t had any issues with it. Let it fully dry and it’s good.
Отличный внедорожник 👍perfectly!!cool video, like my friend)))👍
Great info 👍
That’s a great idea. The best I have is feathered clips front/back lol
ALL I use is that JB Weld Clear Epoxy. Thanks for pointing out WHY the standard JB Weld doesn't work.
Also - Shoe Goo, E6000 and variants, DON'T work permanently where WE LIVE in the Southwest!! Why, because they MELT in 110+ degree temps! 🔥😳 Many People don't realize that.
I would never take credit for INVENTING the concept of Magnet Mounting RC Bodies... But I am one of the originators. Go back to my oldest Videos, everything but my Tamiya CC01 is Magnet Mounted.
I was one of the lonely fools who perfected it! 😉
We all believe that Chris at GCM Racing in Canada, was the one who came up with the concept, about 2011.....
Francis, you should also do a Video on how to do Magnet Mounting RC Bodies with standard Body Posts. That's the vast majority of RCs...
Come to think of it, I think I will. The 30 people who watch my Channel might be interested!!

Thanks for the tip. I live in Miami and it gets hot here also. My JB Weld did not hold on 6 of the magnets. Only one pair stayed glued. Let it dry overnight. Should I have waited longer?
@@marios3163 I let them sit at least 6-12 hours...
But the Clear JB Weld Epoxy is much stronger than the Gray.
The Gray was originally developed for Automotive use. It's designed to be HEAT cured on Radiators and Engines.
E600 has worked great for me
that's all well and good if your body and fender wells line up. My group got 4 Gen8's two blue and two orange. The orange bodies don't line up even with the Velcro. Mounting magnets compounded the problem and had to resort to changing one body and the other ended up getting pins. The Axe edition recently received, the body lines up better than any of the previous releases.
My problem too! Orange body didn't line up. ugh.
Great video as always! Will these magnets be too strong for a polycarbonate body? Being they are more flexible. Thoughts?
I’m planning to use the magnets on a TRX 4 sport in the front and setting up a hinge in the back. I have gone with a magnet with a countersunk hole and bolted it to the body post [think it was the front set that is flat underneath] after cutting off the bit where the pin would go and then using a solid magnet on the body. Just not sure what type of glue to use as gluing directly to the lexan body, don’t want to melt the body.
I would love to see a video on how to do this on the SCX10iii
Hahaha. You had me laughing. That was funny and informative.
Amain was out of stock so I got some off Ebay. Been looking at magnets for awhile but been using M3 velcro for years.
Are you going to make it to Pro-line By The Fire?
Do you have a part # for the magnets? And where did you get them from? Love the videos. I'm new to rock crawlers.
Hahaha. You had me laughing. That was funny and informative.
Are you going to make it to Pro-line By The Fire?
did this to my gen8 but did make the mistake of not gluing the magnets in the proper pole (direction). So, when I went to redo half the magnets I just put the body magnets on the chassis magnets first, placed a sharpie mark on the top of the body magnets and that ensured I was gluing it to the body correctly. Anyway I used jbweld epoxy for one half of the magnets and shoogoo for the body half, just to experiment. the instructions on the shoegoo recommends at least a 48-72 hour cure time, so it will be interesting to see which glue holds the best over time.
Do you have a video on the yellow custom scout that you cut?
Thanks for the tips. I tried your method and it only worked for 1 pair of magnets. on the other 3 sets 1 or both magnets did not stay on after a few mounts. I let it dry overnight with lots of weight as instructed. Should I have waited longer? Any advice?
Ive still got some neodymium mags attached to the car rails in my honda. They aren't coming off.
Can the magnets hurt the esc or any of the electronics?
Do you think this would work for a heavier fiberglass body shell?
I direct in the body whit paint the glue has the same efect ??
Review the redact Everest 10 it a cheap crawler but I think it will surprise you
hi! how to calculate the perfect heigth of the body post?
I use ring magnets on the body post and the body. Much better.
Any recommendations on a different brand of magnets? These are discontinued and I’ve already spent $50 trying crap ones
What pull force are you using?
Where do I get a swivel mount
I have some 3/4"x1/5"x1/8" rare earth magnets how close can they be to other electronics my servo is 2" or closer
Can you do a vid on suspension set ups?
👍🏼
What is the part number for those magnets and where can I get them
I build laminated recurve bows (for hobby) and use EA40 epoxy, 1700 lb per square inch adhesive strength, however it offers flexibility without becoming brittle and cracking.. The work time is about 1 hour and the setup time is 24 hours with 30 day for full cure.. Only a very thin layer is needed (best results when pressure of 50-55lb per square inch is applied (but not necessary))..
Brilliant!!! Flexibility is key as well so it doesn't creack on the incidental tumbles.
Any advice on a source or particular product that comes in small sizes?
@@marios3163 I'm gonna try JB Weld plastic bonder bumper repair gap filler etc
Those are easy applications. More difficult is mounting the magnets on body posts like most of us. Is the easiest way to shear the body post off the body post mounting and then epoxy the magnet to the place where the post was?
I use screws as the base of the magnet, just a tip
Great video. Very usefull. I tried to put magnets on my car but the glue didn’t hold. Oh and I tried to solder wires on the magnets for the ligthkit, but they lose much power when you do that.
I want to use a meat on one side and magnets on the uther i fell itd work better
Did the magnet thing. On to velcro....
Shoe-Goo dude here.
Did you try E6000? I'd bet that would work.
I have used E6000 it works for now going to try this epoxy though when they come loose just scratch the plastic and the magnet
The link to the magnet is not longer valid
What body do you recommend that fits Redcat Gen 8 Axe edition?
Watching scx24 related videos these days almost everything is sold out, from escs to lcg chassis kits and even those magcraft magnets
That's for sure. Supply chain. Starting to free up now a little.
I noticed that they clog my brushless axe system when magnets close to motor.
Do you mind elaborating on this? I have some mini rcs and I used magnets to attach to top mount to a shelf and I think suspect it’s making my car run backwards.
When I put strong magnet close to Hobbywing AXE, it start chattering and car move become jerky at low speed. But it never like going in reverse direction. Mini rcs - brushless or brushed?

I'm building a proline power wagon cab to an scx 10ii chassis with Rock Pirates sliders. I run front body posts. Any ideas for rear cab mount to sliders? Magnet location?
How about a switch to activate electromagnets? Haha
Yo..hello
Can I do this to my real cars 🤔😂
