Neo magnets are way to strong for an AFX/AW build. Dash made some a few years back but they are useless waaay too strong. They would require an all metal gear train as well as a rewound low ohm motor. Polymer are the way to go BSRT and others on eBay make them.

Neo motor magnets do have a place, but it's in the low ohm armatures and high supply voltage world. I am running the Dash neos that sjracer mentioned in my two unlimited 4 gear dragsters at 26v. They work there. Also as Sjracers said, the poly motor magnets are the way to go, but they also need a little more voltage to give full benefit. They also need at least a mean green to get the benefit. They won't work well with a stock arm. Jag Hobbies link for poly magnets jaghobbies.com/ho_slot_cars/neodm.htm |

I think the poly motor magnets are only legal in the "super comp" which also involves a lot of other possibilities  . |

Steve for the mean green even Poly magnets might be to strong.
I generally use a good set of stockers or Dash ceramics for the older AFX cars.
If you find a set of Polys that read around 12-1400 I would try those, as they are
only slightly stronger than a good set of stockers.

Harden creek makes some pretty good magna traction magnets.

F.Y.I. Dash is offering " Green Mamba " motor magnets for m/t , x/traction chassis, I got a set that seemed to liven up one of my 4-gear rigs that had os3 black dragons in it. 5 bucks a pop

Be careful about using to strong a magnet in a 6-14 ohm chassis.
I have not tried either of the magnets mentioned but results of your testing
should tell you whether it helps or not.
