V-Force Rubber side up
#1
I was riding on a small track this week-end and I rolled it in a corner. I took off didn't make it fifteen feet and rolled it on a 90 degree left hand corner. I now have a bent rear section of my frame and broken plastic front and rear. Does anyone know where I can get these items other than the dealer. I contacted my local dealer on the frame being bent and they told me the only fix they had was to replace the frame and it cost the last person $1,800 plus $330 additional for the plastic. So this is seaming to be a $2,100 crash and I only went about fifteen feet so how fast could I have been going.
Thank You for any help.
Also are there any other problems people have been having with these quads. I am talking about warranty and non warranty breakage.
I have also bent the rear bumper and the tie-rods. actualy just one. Quick fix bent it back and buy a length of steel pipe that just fits over the tie-rod and weld both ends. Polish and clear coat fot that custom look.

I've always straightened my frames myself. It's just a bike, it's not a car or anything. does it have a subframe (rear portion of the frame that detaches)? If so, it should only be a couple hundred bucks.
Unless the frame is "creased" or snapped, you should be able to do it yourself. Just take every thing off the rear and use a pry-bar and some heat if needed. Use a tape measure to line things us as best as you can. $2000 is way to much to repair 6,000 dollar bike. But if you are gonna get something new, look into trying to get an aftermarket racing frame it they're available. Should be close to the same money but much stronger, lighter, stiffer, .... and so on and so on. Good luck.

sounds like the new v-force is weak..one roll over shouldnt bend the frame,unless it rolls hard down a hill or something..i was told that machine is suppose to handle very good guess its a little tippy in the corners..well good luck getting it fixed!!

I agree.. I think the hole shot really grab.. I was doing donuts on a sandbar.. when I guess the wheels found hard ground.. V shot out from under me, left me laying on my back looking at the clouds [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
