Exclamation runaway car problems

a few days ago the battery pack fell off my car at full throtle and so i had a runaway that bent two of its axles in the process. what is the best way to straiten them, or should i just replace them? because one of the axles has been bent before and i only ran the car like twice and now the bearings are starting to wear alot.
thanx,
dan

I would just go ahead and replace them because they will never be the same. If you do try to straiten them use a vice and some heavy duty pliers.

The real question is why don`t you have a throttle return spring on your motor?

Replace the axels. If u try to bend it back it wont be balanced like it should be. there for ur bearings will wear out faster and then u will be spending more money than u should. My advice it to just replace them.
