So, I'm gonna sell my car, get a second mortgage on my house, and donate a kidney, all for a Phantom Titan. So worth it. But, after a bit of research online I realized that there isnt a lot of data about building or magnetizing these beasts. I plan on magnetizing the arms at the shoulder so I can take them off for easier transport. Also, I want to know what glue I should use and where I should pin them. Does anyone know where I can get this info? Thank you.

Can definitely be done, a friend of mine had one with magnetized arms. I'm afraid I don't know exactly how he did it though.

aslong as you have enugh "material" to drill away for the magnet, anything is possible.

i would guess you should use magnets of 2mm thickness, prolly 4x2 or 5x2 all depending on how big the arm is.

You need a Ring type magnet and long pinning in the middle of the ring to hold it together.

No, bigger than that. I think the magnets my friend used were about 10mm x 10mm. They held the arms nicely solid.

Thanks for the info, is there any pics of this being done?
