RC Armored Vehicle Tool Change Magnet

Use a 5x1mm neodymium disc magnet in your scaled down RC off-road or armored vehicles for removable, swappable, and low-profile mounts for accessories like tools, spare parts, or weaponry.

Applications & mounting ideas include scale tools such as shovels, axes, and jacks. These can use a magnet mount behind side panel or within molded brackets. You can use either a matching magnet or small steel washer to the tool either of which allows allows for easy removal during detailing or repositioning.

Spare tires can be attached a magnet embedded in the vehicle’s rear gate or bed while a paired magnet or thin steel plate is affixed to the inner rim of the spare. This obviates the need for bulky mechanical mounts or glue.

Weapons or tactical accessories for RC military models can use these magnets in turret mounts, side racks, or roof rails & allows quick swaps between different weapons systems or payloads. Magnets attached to modular cargo boxes can be added as storage units on flatbeds or rear racks. All the above examples permit customized layouts depending on mission/loadout theme.
