Nope! So far, it's held the same since after it was "fixed", and lap times are within 0.1s of prior to the accident. The professional repair is basically to use a long pry bar (such as an old axle), but the principle is the same.
Can't be fixed that way. What's the metal is bent I'd actually become stiffer if he managed to get it back to where it was dramatically affecting your handling regardless if you get it exactly back in place or not. Can I get you through that days events but it will have to be fixed properly
Hello I am having a same issue but have a question, are the tires supposed to remain on the ground at all times full lock both ways, or is one side SUPPOSED to lift up? When I turn right, both tires stay on the ground, when I turn left, right front tire goes about an inch in the air. Which side do I jump on?
Different chassis behave differently and it will vary depending on your caster/etc settings, but in general, one side will lift up when you turn. It should definitely be the same on both sides, though. As far as which side to jump on, easiest way is to follow the video to measure and then jump on the side that's too high.
That’s only if you have the money for a new chassis, you can always bend it back to “zero” and race, although it will not be the same as if it was never bent
Great going,best of luck
Well done from down under
Thanks for the info! We subscribed!
Genius! 🎉
Wont the frame just bend back again after a few sessions?

You steer to one side and the kart lift up that's kart jacking
Helps the kart since a kart does not have a differential like a car.
Why you don't put the washer up to the stub axle?...and you are ready😅
Im not sure thats very safe. I know when I bent my chasis it was so slight but my bossman said we have to scrap it so just wondering
