steering problems? i have the answer!
 
so you, like many others have steering problems after your microsizer, Bitchar-G, etc., fell off a table or countertop. i have the answer!

Warning! this is 95% gauranteed to work, proceed at your own risk!

1. take the body off your car. locate the antenna and take it off the plastic clip that secures the chip. also take off the clip.

2. move the chip gently to the back of the car. you will notice a screw just before the steering column.

3. undo the screw and with a thin bladed whatever, gently pop the cilp out of place. this will cause the wheels and plastic cover to come off. you will notice two wires attached to gold magneto circular discs. do not bend the wires. doing so may sacrifice the steering.

4.there will also be a black plastic piece with a magnet attatched to it. you may notice 1 of two things: the magnet is leaning to one side, or 2. the wires are crossed. if your problem is the first, remove the magnet and apply super glue and let it sit under a hot light for a half hour. be sure to center the magnet or else tis will not work. if your problem is the second, take a pair of needlenose pliers and bend the wires into place, if they are still crooked, clip off a very little piece of wire at the very end. cutting more than an 1/8 of an inch may kill your steering entirely.

5. putting the wheels back on is a bit tricky, but once you get it, immediately put the screw back on. put your car back together and let it rest for about 15 minutes before running it. if this works, please respond, if not i have another answer: the magneto discs or magnet may be bad. replace them and your car will work fine. if not just buy a new car!:D

nope. I think it has to do with something about the whole weight of the car or something. For example, if you hold left or right and push the car, it has a much smaller turning radius and if you went full speed with the motor. So when you go faster, the radius get bigger and bigger, and if it turns one side easier than the other, than it get more screwed up the faster you go.

well, i lost my steering spring. that little gold piece on top of the plastic piece that holds the magnet went into the burbur carpet, and without that your car is screwed.

I don't think this will work with all steering problems. Right now my steering problem is with the controller. It seems I have worn out one of the micro switches on the PCB in the controller.
