I wrote the original guide for these things. Nothing you couldn't really figure out yourself, but i guess it was requested.

ANyways, I have a set of 8" on the way, so i'll let you guys know if construction has changed. I'm a little nervous i'll break one now that i've seen the horror stories.

I may have to cut the shield off instead of beat it off. Later guys.

Well i destroyed one of my RS225's.
I think a lot of care must be taken when applying a force or hitting in any direction.
With the 8", the magnet is larger than the metal part of the basket, soooo, i attempted to just hit the magnet with the magnet resting on the table. the first one worked nicely and the magnet cracked in half and fell off. With the second, it came off but the other magnet came loose.

Not too sure what i could have done differently. Perhaps put a small block in between bucking and motor magnet so it presses against the metal frame. Then hit just the magnet.

WEll there's my input.
