Default Getting back in

Howdy all. I am finally getting back into the sport after about a year off. I have an OFNA Lx Comp with a bent chassis. I am wondering, should I just buy a new chassis, or can I just bend it back and slap on a chassis brace? IM broke, and lazy. I dont need a permanent fix. I plan on refitting it after the winter.
THank you.

Sounds like to me you answered your own question.

If you bend it back, it's unlikely to go back perfectly straight. It'll be tweaked and won't handle right. Basically, it'll make killer turns in one direction, almost spinning out, and will push real bad the other way...

Those chassis are dime a dozen on Ebay. As a matter of fact, here is an Ofna Ultra LX Comp chassis with mud guards NEW Buy It Now SHIPPED for $11.00.

If you can't pony up $11 for a chassis (which is super cheap), I don't know what to tell you...
