Okay, say the magnet has a pull of 3500, and the coil has a pull of 40.

3500 + 40 = 3540

Even is you could double the coil by wrapping it around a metal rod (which won't work anyway because the metal rod would continue to be magnetic after the coil was turned off, but that is a whole other discussion), that would give it a pull of 80 gauss.

3500 + 80 = 3580

3580 / 3540 = 1.0113

Which is a 1.1% difference in combined pulling power. I highly doubt 1.1% would make a noticable difference in the cars ability to turn.

Bottom line is, they designed these little suckers pretty good and I can't think of any way to increase there steering. I'm open to ideas, but none of them mentioned so far seem to make any difference.

The one car that I have noticed the biggest difference in, I sanded the steering arm so everything that moved was nice and smooth. That did seem to help. Messing with the magnets is futile from what I can see.
