I tried the REM in a zip zap, and the magnets were so strong that they attracted the pins in the steering knuckles, and the car wouldn't quit going in circles.
I tried it with one magnet and it wasn't strong enough, but the magnet out of a microsizer worked very well. It's a dual cell, so that may have a little to do with it.

do you have a zip zap around that you could check too? they have them re-stocked at most radio shacks now.

I also found that sanding the steering arm helped a lot. I used a manicure set to file and polish the steering surfaces, and it made a huge diffrence. just make sure to melt the pin your steering spring is on- they fly and dissapear.
