I know I will get shot down in flames for asking this, but, has anyone tried adding magnets to the scalextric metro?

I cannot seem to find any where on the chassis that will accomodate them.

The handling of these cars is atrocious and I am not adverse to using magnets to correct handling so any ideas?

There is a guy who sells these cars with magnets prefitted, but at £25 a car I would rather try it myself.

All help appreciated.

there is a link 'somewhere' that I've read about modding metros...don't know if it was here or not, but thread title didn't mention metros...something about older/retro cars being faster than new/modern....good thread. Hope this jogs someones memory. Magnet placement and chasis lowering recommended.
Cheers...Peter
