I've gotten a used Blaster frame from HY-Tech salvage for $200. In the process of welding up my busted up frame. Fabricated new front engine mounts that will also reinforce my frame.

Where di yours bend? I clipped a tree with the right fron wheel and it shifted the entire front end over a few inches. The wheelbase on the right side was 2" shorter than on the left side. Obviously my new frame has a plate wleded in front of the motor.

Mine bent right behind the right A-arm(looking from the front) It did shift my front end a little to the right also but it doesnt sound as bad as yours. Mine only moved a little under an inch. Now i gotta save up for a new one THIS SUCKS! It takes a long time on a 14 year olds income!

Thats the same place mine bent. Blaster frames don't have any sort of brace there, but almost every other quad does. Take a look at the 400EX, the entire area between the a-arms is filled in with a brace.

Good luck getting a new frame. I got lucky, my dad bailed me out so that we wouldn't miss a couple of big rides that are comeing up.
