dual celling the car will increase the current though the magnet based steering (??) and strengthen it.

also, graphite the area and check for any bits that rub up against each other. routing out hinge holes may help as well.

Well the dual cell part should be obvious, there's plenty of information and pretty pictures on this site about that.

He's telling you to check for any rubbing on the parts or chassis when the car turns. You shouldn't need pictures for that.

How does it turn while holding in your hand?
It may not be a magnet issue but a tyre issue. If your tyres are hard with minimal grip, your turn radius will be wider no matter how strong your steering is, and the heavier the body, combined with speed, the more slip you'll get.

I don't know Big Dawg. I was recently working with a Big Lots Micro Speed adding a full wheel mod and this thing wouldn't turn worth a crap. I changed magnets, knuckles, nothing worked. I just grabbed an MS Speed set, added the full wheel mod and continued on with my project, didn't wanna waste another minute trying to figure it out.

Sorry !

Just make sure everything is clean, on dust or metal obstruction in the steering box.

Where are you Pimps, I'm Pimp'n outta Maryland too. :cool:

The only good places here to get good Micro's are KBToys, the Rally Racers are the best! ($9.99) I hear KB is still closing stores, I'll check out a few this weekend and letcha know! Big Lots if you can still find the Thunder Chargers ($4.99), and Dollar Generals were clearing out MicroSizers Sports & AM sets($5.00) Targets & TRU are probably sold out of everything except MS Body, Tune-Up & Maintennance Kits.
