sorry about that i thought it was included in the first post.

but either way here it goes. what i did was print up a few vinyl spacers. on mine each side took a couple before i was able to fill in the gaps. after that it is good to go.

 

@lilcarus
How exactly do the spacers work, if you don't mind me asking?

 

That's handy for hip fixes. Is that using a 3D printer? I need to apply the exact same fix for my Jinbao Bruticus.

 

if you look at the thigh of your devy. you will see that there is a ton of space between the thigh and the hip socket.

that is what makes this bot so wobbly. just holding it in hand and wiggling it will show you what i am talking about. the hip joints are crazy tight so that isnt the issue. it is a combination of gap around the ratchet joint and the loose fitting thigh.

i just used my little spacers to take up the space and give the thighs more places to make contact.

 

Can you give us some pics of the spacers? Where did you acquire them?

 

Thanks! To clarify, you meant the space between the crotch piece and Long Haul's thighs, right? On mine I do notice a ~1mm gap. So basically anything that can be slotted into the gap should work, such as pieces from an old credit card.

 

Finally got around to building mine and using the upgrade kit. Wow. I want to marry this thing.



Edit: ah shit, have the legs backwards...

 

This is how the inside of the hips look like on my yellow one. Can barely fit anything in the gap between ratchet joint and crotch piece.

 

Way helpful, thanks!!

 

Damn, that does look good! In terms of looks, this is my favorite version of Devastator.

 

Honestly if I could afford it is get a toyworld weathered or cell shade version bit jinbao will always be my favourite, may be a KO of another design but it looks amazing in all modes.

 

Agree. TW is more G1 accurate but thing earns the name Devastator.

 

Great set you've got there. You probably knew this, but there are swingout panels behind the front lights on long haul. It's a minor detail, but it's there.

 

Correctly transformed this time

 

So the inner hip joint of my long haul broke. The part that is supposed to hold the screw snapped off and now the sping is loos. Should I find a longer screw or glue the part back on?

 

i would think you should do both if possible to fix it and make it less prone to break again. as the longer screw will thread further into the other piece and put less stress on the portion that broke off.

 

lol I dont have any of those to pull parts form

 

Had the same thing happen on my second, robot-mode-only one. The thigh piece holds it together, so far.

 

Any reliable stores/sellers where I can buy sets B and C from? I looked around a bit, but couldn't find anything. I bought set A a long time ago, and never completed the set.

 

So I couldn't get the inner tab to stay glued but I did find a longer screw to hold it together, though I had to drill the screw hole wider for the head to fit in.
