This kind of thing gets posted every now and then.
Check to see you havent broken one of the tiny (hair like) wires that go from the circuit board to the steering coils. Lift the circuit board very gently and check in there. This will probably be the problem, you just have to find where the break is and re-attach it.
Goodluck

Yeah, I had a look and both the copper wires and the black power wires to the magnets seem to be attached at both ends. However as I said before I am sum what blind. I don’t know what to do. Someone please help.

Stop looking everyone, I think I have found the problem, it’s inside the controler not the car! Phew!, anyway I’ll open the controller and have a look, if anyone has any tips in regards to controllers please let me know.

One of the little ‘tactile’ switches night be shot. You can buy those in electronics stores and replace it.

Yes you will Nickos. A suitable replacement switch can be found at Jaycar Electronics (http://www.jaycar.com.au), product code SP-0601.
Cheers,

Sometimes it’s not the switches on the circuit board. Sometimes the little studs that the plastic rocker switch pivots on breaks and allows you to push both left and right switches in at the same time. Check it out
