Trains trains trains Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hello, I have many X04/X03 motors. I have found that over the past few weeks the motor coils are becoming very hot. Could it be the fact that the magnet is not very magnatised and needs remagnatising. If so, where could I remagnatise the magnet/ buy a new magnet. By the way I am situated in Australia. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I think you can get them remagnetised, if you watch TV, James May did it in one of his programs about toys. Alternatively, you can buy a Neo Magnet off EBay, I don't know it they Ship to Australia, but it is worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australian model rail road Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Those Neo magnets will cause bearing wear as they are very strong much kinder and better to recharge the magnets on these oldies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissaf Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just be aware that this forum does not have any 'Private Messaging' (PM) facility and personal email addresses and phone numbers are not allowed to be published on this forum - see rule extract below. Which makes, making contact rather difficult. If two parties want to make such arrangements, I suggest the two parties sign up to (if not already) to one of the other non Manufacturer forums where PM is supported. MRF (Model Rail Forum) for example../media/tinymce_upload/a33d76d1857a6ea31e274acdae08ffae.jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
