I guess the only way is to heat it up and bend it.

yeah heat will work for sure but after it cools the spot you heated will become brittle and snap like glass i think... just my thoughts on it lol idk for sure never tried it ... good luck happy bashn..

i too am curious as to what mod plans you have up your sleeve :evil clown:

Nothing spectacular, I was trying to use some extra a arms to fab a wheelie bar that will last,using the basic design of Puckamahows, without adding tension to the skid plate or bumper, instead I just added 2 holes (for screws) to the bulkhead which fixed the need to bend it.

nice job..I'm oppisite though..I'm not into wheelies i try to keep my trucks flat with all 4 whhels down .. even though it still wheelies but i just want more power to the tires and ground ... good job though...nice brain storming and comeing up with a great looking and functional wheelie bar...

 

[tinker2141]

thaks for the compliments, I usualy try to keep it on the ground but when ppl are watching that arent into rc its a real eye cather to see the best pull and hold a wheelie, did it at my lhs for some iterested customers and now they drive savages to.
