Guys, I am venting here so bare with me. My daughter (15) and her friend (15) took out my sons brand new JM 150 and the friend hit a tree with the front left tire and completely waffled the frame! She is ok but the wheeler looks great until you notice the front left wheel is about 8 inches behind the right wheel and the frame is completely buckled. The issue that I am so upset about is the fact that they had the audicity to tell me they hit a stick! Now I need to find a new frame and completely rebuild a brand new unit.

Does anyone know if frames are available?


Thanks, Superintendent

I already called John at Raceway and he is GREAT! He is going to be able to get me a frame for "a good price". Raceway has been incredible to deal with..

My wife hit a big bolder with her 150 and nearly broke her hand with the brake lever flipping back fast. luckily her hand was not broke and the quad did not sustain any real damage. I did have to an alignment after so I'm sure something is slightly out of wack but still works great.
Keep us posted as to what happens with your repair!

The bottom line is that the frame is totally waffled! The A arms are fine. However she hit the tree it caused the frame in the narrowest section to simply collapse. John at Raceway has been great and I am having a new frame shipped (45 days) and I will do all of the work replacing parts from the wrecked one to the other.

RACEWAY HAS BEEN GREAT!!!
