Axelay 23 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Recently acquired a barely-used Arcadia SV-51 which seems to be suffering from the leg assembly error. Does anyone have any extras which they would be willing to sell? Please let me know. Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silverstreak 11 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 What leg? Left or right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axelay 23 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Fighter mode, starboard side. (Battroid mode, right leg.) It's the same issue as shown in this fantastic Scorched Earth Toys video. Full credit to owner, not mine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nightmareB4macross 335 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Let me know if these outer legs work for you. Then PM so we can discuss details. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps. I'm not sure that I understand what you mean...? The one which I need appears to be the third (from the left) green check. The one which I currently have is the same one circled in the photo above. Are you saying that you have the first green check and the blue X? If so, I may not be clear on how it's possible to swap out a right leg with a left leg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nightmareB4macross 335 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Apologies for not being clear. The two outer legs are what Is left over. For the sake of clarity, let’s refer to these as legs 1,2,3,&4 starting from left to right. The picture is from a top view of fighter ode. Leg 1 is correct and matches what is on the craft (matches Leg 2) Legs 2 & 3 are not for sale. These are on my SV-51, but serve as reference. Leg 4 Is like leg 3, but the ankle is incorrect. Ankle would suit legs 1 & 2. Hope this makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axelay 23 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Here's a photo of my SV-51. Using the numbering system, my leg #4 (which is attached to the Valkyrie) is bad. I believe that I need a leg #3 to replace it. Insofar as I am aware, I don't think that I can replace leg #3 with leg #1. Maybe I'm not entirely clear on how the manufacturing defect occurred or what's involved to swap the parts, but I don't see how I can swap a right leg with a left leg.

It helps to see the ankles themselves and better understand what’s there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axelay 23 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 OK, here are more clearer photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nightmareB4macross 335 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Well, after looking at these pictures, it is very clear. The parts I have will not benefit your SV-51. Wish you luck. Hopefully, someone on these boards has what you need. Mine came in from Australian member. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanity is Optional 505 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Pretty sure that every single person who had a leg issue has the same problem, which means lots of extra left legs floating and nobody who needs them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Axelay 23 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Would really appreciate any help or leads with this. I've struck out everywhere I've turned thus far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jasonc 234 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I have an extra right leg, but it was broken at the ankle (rivets broke). That said, I was able to fix it, and have been able to make it quite strong again using strong epoxy and sinking the epoxy into the rivet holes. It does work fine now, so I may be willing to sell it. I just don't know how much. I was kinda keeping it as a backup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if it'd be possible to transplant parts into an existing bad leg in order to make one good leg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because they are rivets that broke to the right side, there isn't a way to fix it, except by the way I was able to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
