i put big lego wheels on my ZZ once and it wouldnt turn.i have heard people say that is the weakness of the steering return spring.if you pop open a floppy disk,there is a return return spring on the metal piece that guards the information disk.i was wodering if the spring in the floppy would work in a ZZ to make it turn better?i dont have the big wheels on it anymore,so i cant test.it seems like the steering magnet is pretty strong in my cars, but could it handle the spring?

first i think floppy springs are ferrous(have iron in them). so they wont work. second they are too thick for what you want. also they are the wrong size dude.
betty uses 2 or 3 stock springs in his lego wheeled rides.

yeah i have 2 cars but one is my old clone that i put a 9v turbo on and i took it off...it works..but i am afraid illhave to switch the motor wires because i got them wrong and it needs and axle,middle gear,and motor with gear and i dont want to take them off my ZZ.btw hog sorry for acting like a fag in that other post,no hard feelings.
