It looks like a rather rough crash to me?

That frame isn't ment for that kind of impact, i would seriously doubt if an UE chassis would not be bent on an impact like it. (it is 'only' aluminium)

I understand your anger, but it is a solid thing you ran in to, no flex at all... The forces that come with such an impact would brake al fingers on your hand, when they were in between.

This frame is solid build, but it's not build for this kinds of impact. It has got a certain strength/weight ratio.

It doesn't look like a wrong batch of material. Gmaxx could have chosen to use titanium , but then, the price would be double or triple at least.

I think that you can buy the lowerplate only, but i am not sure on this. It would be logical.
