I took the front magnets...oops magnet out tonight. It appears to be 2 magnets from the bottom of the chassis. When in fact, it is a single long magnet that stretches from side to side of the chassis. It also has a metal shime on top of it. I assume you could put it on the bottom to slightly raise the magnet in the chassis, but doubt you would notice a difference with the car. I removed the front magnet and it freed up extra speed in the Plus 8. The rear magnet was still plenty enough for keeping the car on lock down.
In order to remove the front magnet you have to unscrew the chip and remove a post sleeve with a flange on the bottom it. This flange holds the magnet in its pocket when the chip is replaced and screwed down. The removal of the rear magent appears that you will have to remove the rear axle assembly and maybe even the motor since the pinion resides directly of it.
I can also see why analog runners yank all the "guts" because getting them all back into place so the body fits properly can be a royal pain in the keyster.
