Bent the frame

[djbuzzard]

what is the chance of bending the front end back without having issues? I slammed into a curb straight on.


Pictures forthcoming...

I rebent mine back in a vise last week. Worked fine but very brittle!

That's what I'm afraid of...damn!

you can do it, its possible I did it, bent my v2 chassis an inch or so behind the front diff i actually bent the angle out of the front so it was completely flat how iIdid it was I had a new chassis and i used a protractor to get the angle in the front of the new one then bent it very carefully in the vise you might go ahead and try to bend it back.

I slammed my rampage front and rear, was able to hammer it out on flat concrete.


My dunerunner v3 not so lucky. I had a left to right twist in it I cant get out. And I tried.........Really it only pulls off throttle on road. Off raod its not noticeable.

I got it all sorted out with a hammer...it was as screwed up as it looked. It definitely is soft metal in that chassis. I think I may make a brace for the front to alleviate paying $100 for new chassis.

Looks like the hit was worst than i thought..I busted the center dogbone pins in the front and back...geesh!
