Fazon bent wheelie bar

[72Z15SS]

Checking things over on the Fazon and noticed one of the wheels on the wheelie bar is crooked. Looks like it was threaded in that way, so I called Hobbico since my e-mail to Arrma was unresponsive. Well, Hobbico put one on backorder for me since they're not in stock... I'm satisfied with that... Fingers crossed.
I saw another thread where someone broke a wheel off on the same side. Hmmm! Surely don't want this thing going off in a bad direction on this thing!

That looks nice!

it´s not just looking nice, it is also adjustable and it´s working fine!
One of the best ideas i had last year! hrhr!
In tha gallery you will find more information about these bar and how it is made.
The only bad thing was to find fitting shock absorbers, mine are modified parts from a 1:10 tamiyja buggy.
The other parts are nuts, ball bearings, a 4mm axel, and a bit aluminium... oh and also a little bit rubber to get the illusion of a tire!
If anybody needs a g-code file to make that on a cnc-milling machine, so maybe I can make an upload if it is allowed.
I am not be able to convert that file, because the software which i had used is designed to make engravings and not a cad / cam....
