Monty,

Sometime back you were kind enough to post a chart showing recommended magnet strengths for various arm types (Contender, SWasp and G12).

What about Pro-Slot C-Can magnet gaps? Do you use different gaps for different arms/magnet strengths?

I'm going to order some steel magnet gapping slugs and wanted to know if there were some "typical" values that would work better than others.

Thanks,
JayGee

JayGee,
Check my math and explanation to Buffalo Kid on his magnet question.

I have a slug which started life as a .535" diameter piece. I've cleaned and polished it so many times its now about .5335". I still use it for 99% of my motors.
