My racer was put into a tree on the left side it hit right on the top a arm and had enough force to bend it all the way to the shock the front clip is **** pretty bad on both sides at the bottom where it attaches to the frame could I get it straightened out and weld it up maybe gusset it in a few spots?I was thinking about going for the yfz front clip but do not have anywhere near the exp id need to do it not to mention I can't find a frame in my area but does it really make a big difference any input will be greatly appreciated thanks guys

Repairing a bent LT frame is a losing battle. Even if you clip it, chances are pretty good that its going to be at least slightly tweaked elsewhere. I've got 2 86 frames, and both have been completely reworked, but are still a hair off.

Garbage in garbage out. You can never get a tweaked frame perfect. And if you try mating a clip, it causes issues. Get a straight frame.

Where can we get a new frame?

New frame will set you back a pretty penny. Better off finding a decent used frame.

How much is a pretty penny though? Are we talking 1000 or 7000?

I'm looking for a frame in perfect shape. Don't want one that has been **** before. I'm Leary of buying a frame off somebody else. Are there no new frames being manufactured?

If I was going to be building one frame up, I think I would look for an aftermarket frame. 800screws I think is his name, and he has a sweet quadracer

All American · « **Reply #10 on:** April 27, 2013, 10:12:30 pm »

Sweet, I'm going to look for him.

Iceracer · « **Reply #11 on:** April 28, 2013, 05:30:26 am »

Screws is long gone. The frame he had was a Jp, he sold it to someone in Pa or jersey. The only new frames being done in any recent time was MY X design. I haven't done much with it it in a couple years, I plan to do at least one this summer for my Ice machine and another to mock up some new ideas.

Screws actually had a pair of outlaws. A 250 and a 500. I wish my garage was as sexy as his was.

All American · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:24:49 pm »

Any chance you would want to make a frame for me?

I have a modded 92 frame coming in a week or two. I'm planning on doing a 250/500 brid with that one.

I actually had a chance to buy that JP outlaw in that picture last year. It looks the same as that one with the blue hood, it was a 250, I'm assuming it was the same quad because they are rare and this one was out of PA. The guy selling it lived out near Stroudsburg Pa. I wish I could have picked it up but from what the seller told me the engine needed a rebuild and he would not come down at all on his price.
