I just did eight T-Dash chassis to be used in IROC cars for a charity benefit race, those all has blue and white magnets. I recall that someone mentioned Killer Bees magnets several months ago, and I inquired about details on them at the time with no reply. I thought that they might be polymer magnets, I just checked the Dash site and they are listed as ceramics. The site also says that the colors were changed to avoid confusing the latest magnets with the older ones. I measured the original Dash magnets at 850-900 gauss, the latest ones that I have measured were 650-750 gauss. JL/AW magnets are 850ish gauss.

The yellow and black "killer bees" just came out this month - I have some on order (along with 16 ohm arms) - but don't have them in house yet. From the way they were described by DASH, these magnets should be on par with the original DASH magnets.
Will know more once I have some in hand and can do a comparison side by side so to speak. :)
