playing with the magnets from the pickup assembly. My god, they're
strong! Neodymium, I think. So strong that I actually gave myself a
small blood blister when the 2 snapped together as I played with them.

That's a good tip. I never thought of the magnets when I took apart
the drives. Now that I want them I don't have dead drives anymore.

Do look up http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lrk-torquemax/ on making your
own brushless motors. That's what I want super magnets for.
