Due To Wild Driving And Stupidity I Bent The Right Rear Tie Rod On My Traxxas T-Maxx Classic 2.5. Should I Use A Bench Vise To Straighten It Back Out Or Should I Buy A New One.
Thanks For Your Answers.
 
on s tie rod it would probably be OK to straiten it temporarily. it may be weaker at the bend point though and may bend again soon. it would work until you get the new one though.
 
+1 on that. I straightened mine out a few times without any real issues. Just make sure to not mar it up where it makes contact with the pivot points or it will grind away at the plastic as the suspension moves.
