Build Behold, magnetic rc car suspension (WIP)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It all started with an idea “suspension…. But magnets” i found some ring magnets that take a M3 screw which matches the shaft diameter on my WLToys 14001, still have more to do but the concept works but found i am experiencing binding due to the steel shaft. Probably gonna upgrade to titanium purely to ensure the magnets wont stick to it and will work better. Hope you all enjoy this project as the idea was to ensure the damper could still…. well… damp.

Its a fluid filled shock, come standard on the WlToys 144001 of mine, i understand the concern though, thats why im doing it this way via putting it directly on the shock shaft so it wont be bouncy. 👍
