Steering problem :( Please look...
After superglueing the front and rear tabs for reinforcement, I put my body back on and took the car for a run. The front wheels will turn directions randomly while I am driving. If I push a turn button, it will stay turn in that direction, but going straight the wheels turn rapidly. Could this be a wiring problem? Or do you think superglue had some effect on the magnets even though it was not in direct contact with it? If I can't get this solved easily I'm just going to sell my whole junkyard.  I'm sick of all the damn wiring problems I have due to the poor welds and unbelievable-small-gauge wires. Maybe this hobby is just not for me.

Is it a clone, or are you using clone front wheels? Some clones have front wheel pins that attract the magnet. Having metal pins that attracts the magnet will give you the same symptoms. Most good quality cars will use metal pins that don't attract the magnet. You can switch the wheels or switch the pins.
Don't give up too soon. It just sounds like you're getting poor quality stuff. Although I must admit, these mini cars can be finiky.

No, I didn't open up the steering compartment and when the car is off I can turn the wheels and they will turn right back to neutral.
Thanks tho,

Nah I'm using Bit wheels, I've had the car running for a long time and this suddenly happened. Like my other post says, if I can't get it fixed by Friday then it's all going. I'm leaving for college then and I won't have time to play with these anyways.
