Wire for Steering Spring?
 

Anyone know what I could use to make a replacement steering wire?

QFM has a tip using their suspension springs, but I'm not going to order that just to make the steering sprin?

Any ideas appreciated.

i saw some site showing that you could use the springs inside a vhs tape for the steering, haven't tried it myself, but you might want to look into it.

i found springs that are non magnetic for slot cars. 1.59$ for four of them. check a hobby shop that sells slot cars. its a lot thinner than a vcr spring. i only sort of got it to work tho. i also saw some site that sells steering springs but i dont remember the url.

Thanks...

I think I saw that site too. I'll try to find it again.

search success
 

Found perfect replacement on bit char-g forum.

Either guitar string .009 or violin "A" string. Easy for me to get at lunch time.

Thanks to blacksabbath070 over on that board.

:D

too thick
 

Picked up the .009 Guitar string today...it is MUCH thicker than the OEM. Wonder if anyone else has replacement ideas?
