Any witchcraft to un-tweak a fiberglass 10L chassis?

Post by FullThrottleTXOutlaw »

One of the cars I'm working on at the moment is an early fiberglass 235mm car. I disassemble all these kits and go through everything. This one was really nice, pristine front bumper, unscratched hardware on the underside, unworn OEM tires, just a few scratches on the chassis itself.

Well, the RF (or LR depending on your perspective, I'm going with front as it's the most likely to tweak from an impact) is WAY high looking at the bare chassis. We aren't talking get-out-the-straight-edge-to-check tweaked, I'm talking eyeball it after a few beers and you might call it a 1/4" (although it's probably something more like 3/16 but whose counting)

So is there some sort of trick like put it between two steel plates in the oven at 400* for 53 minutes with a rabbits foot and some chicken bones on All Hallow's Eve and it will be straight or do I just need to stick it in my junk pile for now? I used the search function to no avail.

I have another chassis to use, but I don't want to waste this one if there is some sort of fix. Just looking at it one would think this is beyond the tunability of tweak screws and stick on weights. I'm not the type to stick it back together and sell it on only for someone else to end up befuddled as to why the car does nothing but spin out.










For reference/Cliffs, my first thread - http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=36986 mention buying multiple 10l's of various varieties to restore and resell for a hobby.
