question about springs

are the springs metal or plastic? cuz i have a set of springs that fits perfectly where the springs go, but then the tires don't turn. it seems the magnet attracts the springs too much and it won't turn the tires. so i'm guessing the springs you buy have to be plastic, or rubber, or something. are they? or are they metal? if they are metal, how come they're different from my springs?

it could be that the springs arrnt cut. If they arent cut, it creates too much tension, and it wont be able to move. Magnets arent strong enough to move the wheels if the spring has too much tension. I have metal springs, and i think all springs are metals anyways. It wouldny have too mcuh of an effect on the magnet since its on both sides. You should try cutting them so they create less tension. they have a mod on www.questformadness.com for the springs... have fun!
