Then you were lucky in how it was bent. My first chassis was tweaked, and it made a huge difference. This was at a raceday, and couldn't drive the car fast anymore. Took a new chassis (thanks matt), and won the next final with it.
Besides that, the hingepin braces are no good, this could have been easily fixed by changing the mounting just a little bit, and you wouldn't even need shorter hingepins.
Replacing chassis and hingepins would cost me about €100, so I threw it all in a box and moved on
Yes, I am dissappointed
