Finished my cart, then crashed it
Plum Quick Assassin motor and seats this week-end. **** thing was wild. Through the woods with-out a hiccup. Up hills like they were not there. Goofing off while my neighbor was shooting a video, bouncing over a pile of snow, I crashed into the granite light pole in front of my house. Front of frame bent. Anybody got any tips on how to straighten this mess?
Pictures here http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/membe...01-cc-48v.html Guess I should have gotten more cart driving experience before dropping in a Plum Quick motor. |

Maybe you should consider getting another cart and transfer all your new stuff to that one? Keep the rest for parts. My only advice to you: Invest in Disk Brakes and Seat Belts! Good luck with your repairs. |

Re: Finished my cart, then crashed it
Every time I tried to straighten aluminum after it was bent it just cracks, once you bend it, it only bends once, and when you try to bend it back it cracks/breaks, the only way I see to fix it is, cut and fab a new front end, or another frame

2 hands on the wheel all the time and always look in front of you!
That really sucks! Go by cart shops and find a scrapped out junker with a good battery bay. Just swap everything to the new frame. |
