I need to do a complete teardown but it looks like the chassis is bent slightly and the carbon upper deck is cracked as well . That alone is almost $100 in parts!!!!

Does anyone know a method of checking for chassis trueness?
There are a few ways you can check for this. 1.You can get a metal ruler or a nice straight edge and place it on the bottom of your chassis eg: front left corner to rear right corner and visa versa. If it's tweaked you will see daylight through the gap on the chassis where it is. 2.You can take your chassis off and place it on a flat surface and if it's tweaked it will rock and not stay flat 3. Or you can dish out the $$$$ for a tweak station. I personally use method one and two cause i can't afford a tweak station

PS: Sorry to hear about your missfortunes
