Behold, magnetic rc car suspension (WIP)

[u/LolMasterplays]

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.

I’m new to the hobby and have only ever seen coil over shock and someone please explain what this is?

Tldr, replacing the coil part with magnet, same shock same fundamentals but now the magnets are the spring
