well i went riding today and 10 min into riding i slide off the trail and run into a tree with my a arm. i guess i hit the tree pretty good since it bent and cracked the a arms but i wasnt going that fast, i didnt even get thrown off the quad. i thought it just bent my upper a arm and cracked my lower one, but after getting home right behind the rear lower a arm bracket there is a crack. Also the flat spot on the front of the frames where it looks like its just sheet metal/bracing is bent there also. Anyone know who can fix this? im try to stay away from buying a new frame. damn this sucks, ive only had this quad 3 weeks.

take it to someone who can weld, weld the crack, then if necessary weld a patch over the crack and you will be fine.

3 weeks? should be under warenty but if not take it to a local welder. take the stuff off around it so they can get to it easy.
