1/6 Sideshow 1/6th Scale Star Wars Speeder Bike

I am curious if the sensor that the steering veins go in was pre-attached for anyone else? I believe it is step 9 of the directions. Mine was already attached.

Mine came pre-installed as well.

Same here.

Pretty sweet when it's put together. Some of the pieces are super fragile though, I was getting worried for a bit with a couple of them. Would be nice if HT made a bike down the road and made it metal or something.

Can anyone point me to rubio's directions?

Please link to posts. Not everyone sticks to the standard posts per page.

Same for everyone it seems. I'd think they did this as a precaution for the steering vanes. If the sensor was installed on the bike slightly out of alignment by us, it would cause even more issues for the vanes, which are already a bit of a delicate thing to put on the bike.
The instructions were probably already printed before this concern came to light, so i get that, but weird that they did'nt edit it out of their instruction video?

Here are a few shot me and my wife took this afternoon












.....don't fall off you bike at 200mph

Awesome Photos!

Am I the only one who has held him out in front and ran through the house?

 

[diodarren]

So what I ended up doing was snapping them without the blanket and then slipping it in. For some reason that worked.

Right on!

So I got my speeder on the 18th. Opened it up and the first thing I noticed...no directions. Thank god for this forum or else I would have been a bit lost regarding assembly. The second issue... The thin silver cable on the handlebar with the red button was cut in half. Now I will give SS credit, they emailed me a digital copy of the directions and I got my replacement handlebar yesterday....HOWEVER, something's seems to be a bit off.

bent handlebar, that's an easy fix with a hair dryer.

 

[cstojano]

I think everyone's right handle bar is like this. I think this is why so many display him shooting with his right hand. But I haven't tried the hair dryer trick. It does seem like something is off with the right handle bar's mold or something since so many seem to come this way. Someone REALLY needs to copy these in quality materials. Customizers can whip out a human face sculpt so surely someone could custom make metal parts for this bike (handle bars and foot pedals).

I cannot insert the steering vane posts into their receptacles. Way too tight. Not even close. Anyone else?

Honestly, for $300 these parts should have been metal to begin with in my opinion. I don't have the bike in hand, but judging from reviews and comments here the handlebars are very fragile. Given the fact that parts that will be stressed while posing figures are the handlebars and petals, these should have been metal or some other stronger material.

This is the worst one i've seen so far. They should'nt have sent you one like this! Especially after having two issues already

Your holes for the 'piston' are not deep enough. It's a qc issue, contact sideshow about it for a new part. (terrain sensor, thing with the holes)

Thanks, will do. Although, the holes for the pistons seem to be part of the front end main steering vanes, not actually attached to the "terrain sensor", correct?
