steering coil problem
 

when i turn my controller on the steering bar goes to one coil all the time, making my car turn hard left, and then when i turn to go right it goes straight, but when i turn my controller off it aligns fine again

can anyone help me?

probably your magnet. it may be the spring but i doubt it. if you crack your front end open, dont even look at the spring until you have ruled out everything else.

if you even slightly bend the spring, it will never work right again.

The steering coils have NO pulling power until juice is sent through it (thereby magnetising it).

If you're turning on the controller and it IMMEDIATELY pulls the magnet to the coil...Then I'd say you've got a sticky left or right button on the controller.

Check the controller out as well.

Thanks Namuna, i was thinking something along those lines too, i'll take a look see at the controller, i know for a fact my spring is fine, my magnet is fine and the coils arent getting power from anywhere else.....we'll see

if needed most old vcrs or stereos have the same buttons in them and aint that hard to replace. a solder sucker helps tho.

hopefully it'll just need a little cleaning........:p

The steering wires definitely aren't touching newhere on the pcb?

The insulation may have came off on part and be shorting on the pcb, if if was ur controller, then surely the led would b lighting up.

MAKE SURE THE steering wires are not touching ne thing!

damn hairs!

Yeah I had a prob like that, my insulation was melted off and crossing another wire.:rolleyes:
