Im trying to bed the revo chassis like dafni did, so i can put the battery trays on.

I just bend my aluminum with a vise, no heating. If you want a perfect 90 degree angle, just hammer the "bend" into an angle.

Heat it up if it's too hard.. it will bent like butter.. a blowtourch or your moms stove works miracles here!

Use a piece of wood if your going with the vice and hammer method.

Yeah, i remember a pole and your drivingskills are a killer combination for aluminium...

It'll produce the finest, most geometrical correct 90 degree angle bend you'll ever see.
