Uber Help Needed w/ Turning Radius.
I'm so sad  ...Yesterday, I bought a second car, and it was working GREAT, no problems. Then, when I was putting it away, I dropped it from about 3.5ft above a wooden floor, and now it's turning radius is the size of a watermelon. I'm having a hard time making deductions as to what it is, because I took off the shell, and examined the PCB and the chassis, and everything looks the same as the other car...any tips as how to fix this? or to fix turning radius in general on a car? I believe this might have been mentioned before, but I need a direct answer. Thanks in advanced!

You might have popped out one of the steering knuckles. Or both.

FWIW my SE and most of my other tinies steer one way better than the other, and it's usually got something to do with how freely the front wheels turn on the axles. Most of the time, one spins easier than the other, and that causes problems. I grabbed the axle pin with a pair of pliers, twisted n pulled, then coated it with locksmith grade graphite powder. That helped on most of my cars.
