Thanks James! That certainly makes me more confident to try. Who knows, I might try that with the samples that Scalextric loan me for previews – I’d really like to try those both with and without magnets.

Great tips in your ‘Scalextric Tuning No9’. However you did mention “I’m always a little nervous in case I crack the underpan”. There is no need to “lever out the magnet or remove a lug” (I’ve got the teeshirt), there is a simple way to remove the magnet from a Scalextric car without damaging the underpan. Just hold the underpan on both sides and in line with the magnet, with thumb and index finger (thumb on top), then very gently flex (bend) the underpan downwards (push down with thumb and simultaneously push up with index finger) and the magnet will ‘pop out’ or at least one side of the magnet will, which is then simple to remove the magnet.
Hope that helps.
