Making a steering coil?

i was told u could make a steering coil with magnetic wire.

Is this true? how would u wrap it neat enough and make it stick together?

I was thinking about making a sewing machine attachment and using the bobin spinner but i thought i would ask for ideas before i put in all the work to convert an old sewing machine into a electromagnet spinner

U can make a stering coil from enamelled wire!

Thats what is originally in the cars, it comes in all different thicknesses, thinner than hair even!

search about in an electronics shop.

1 VERY important thing tho!

The turns for each coil must be the same. Or 1 will be stronger than the other.

No, I would put a couple of drops after you're done rolling it. It should hold without any problems.

I don't see how the benefits here outweight the risk of totally rending your chassis useless.
