will a powerful electromagnet affect the electronics on a remote control car?

I have a 1/6 scale dune buggy and i would like to mount it in the back of my 4x4 so i can remove it with the flick of a switch.I would like to use an electromagnet but i dont want to damage the electronics in the RC car.Help!

The magnetic field will not harm the electronics, but turning the electromagnet on and off will generate high voltage spikes and an EM field which may cause problems. When you make your electromagnet, be sure and put a damper diode in parallel with the coil AND an RC snubber network (you can Google "damper diode", and "RC snubber network" to get examples).

It probably won't hurt the car..
