my microsizer won't steer properly.
i thought it was just the surface of my desk yesterday, because when i would turn the car to the right, it would practically spin in place, but when i turned the car to the left it would make a much wider turn. Well i tried the car out on the smooth floor in my kitchen and the same problem persists. Wide turns to the left, spinning in place to the right.
I adjusted the lever beneath the car to see if maybe that's where the problem was, but no matter where I placed the lever, the car would still turn the way it did before. Has anyone had this problem before? Any solutions?

I have had this problem with an MS Pro before, and I couldn't figure out what was doing it either. I eventually bought a new one, but this time I kept the reciept.
I took apart the front end, and couldn't figure out how the trim adjustment affects the steering, so that was a dead end.
Other things you may want to check:
Is the steering magnet centered?
Are the steering coils in the right place, and nothing looks strange?
Do either of the front wheels not spin well, causing drag on one side of the car?
Are your tires clean? Uneven cleanliness could cause problems.
Hopefully, 20 bucks isn't too much for you, and you can start over if you don't find the problem. Let me ask you one question though... did your car come straight from the factory with the trim lever set all the way to one side? That's how mine was, and it never trimmed right, nor was I ever happy with the steering. So when I buy new MSs, if the trim lever isn't somewhat straight, then it is going right back to get exchanged.

On my 2 clones and one MS sport (okay, one clone was fubared, the MS following), none of them has ever steered properly. It's just too hard to get that precise with such small components, especially when they're being mass produced. I've heard just using 2 steering centering springs will help, but I can't find my other bits to try it out
