Every kit goes together by hand with the Allen keys in the box. Pick your kit.
One light, one blade
Tools: 2 mm Allen key (in the box)
Plug the RGB Critter BT into the USB-C cable from its box and let it charge before your first session. The battery ships already inside the light, so there is nothing to install.
Thread the back of the RGB Critter Tube Adapter (Long) onto the front of the RGB Critter BT. Hand tight is enough.
With the 2 mm Allen key, back the adapter's two set screws out about one turn so the socket is clear. They come fitted, so leave them in the adapter.
Slide the plain, unthreaded end of the saber tube into the adapter until it stops, about 1 in (2.4 cm) of tube disappears. The end with the Twist-On Cap already screwed on points away from the light.
Tighten both set screws with the 2 mm key until they are snug against the tube. Snug, not cranked: the tube is polycarbonate. Give the tube a firm tug, it should not move.
Twist the Modular End Cap off the back of the light. Thread the Saber Handle Extension's male end into the back of the light, hand tight, then twist the Modular End Cap onto the back of the extension.
The Twist-On Cap is already on the blade tip. For a softer tip, push the Clear Silicone Saber Cap on over it. Run either cap alone or both together.
Every threaded joint hand tight, both set screws snug, tube does not move when you tug it.
Swapping accessories: twist the tube adapter off the front of the light with the tube still in it. Any twist-on accessory goes straight on in its place.
Weighted at both ends
Tools: 2 mm Allen key (tube adapter and weight set screws) and 4 mm Allen key (connecting screw), both in the box
Plug the RGB Critter BT into the USB-C cable from its box and let it charge before your first session. The battery ships already inside the light, so there is nothing to install.
Thread the back of the RGB Critter Tube Adapter (Long) onto the front of the RGB Critter BT. Hand tight is enough.
With the 2 mm Allen key, back the adapter's two set screws out about one turn so the socket is clear. They come fitted, so leave them in the adapter.
Slide the plain, unthreaded end of the saber tube into the adapter until it stops, about 1 in (2.4 cm) of tube disappears. The end with the Twist-On Cap already screwed on points away from the light.
Tighten both set screws with the 2 mm key until they are snug against the tube. Snug, not cranked: the tube is polycarbonate. Give the tube a firm tug, it should not move.
Twist the Modular End Cap off the back of the light and keep it for other builds. Thread the first Saber Handle Extension into the back of the light, then the second into the back of the first. Hand tight.
With the 2 mm key, loosen the Silicone Cap Mount's two set screws and slide the steel weight out of its bore.
Set the PTFE shim at the back of the second extension and thread the mount on, hand tight. Drop the connecting screw into the mount's bore from the back and tighten it with the 4 mm key. The mount and handle now cannot unthread until the screw comes out. Skip this step if you want to break the saber down by hand, and just thread the mount on.
Slide the steel weight into the mount's bore and tighten both set screws with the 2 mm key so they bite into the groove on the weight.
Push the Black Silicone Saber Cap onto the back of the mount until it seats over the ribs. It pushes on and pulls off, it does not twist. Push the Clear one onto the blade tip, over the Twist-On Cap.
Every threaded joint hand tight, all four set screws snug, tube and weight do not move when you tug them.
Lighter and quicker: take the steel weight out and drop one handle extension. That saves about 300 g and moves the balance forward.
Contact Saber (No Light) goes together the same way on the RGB Critter BT you already own.
One light, two props
Tools: 2 mm Allen key (in the box)
Plug the RGB Critter BT into the USB-C cable from its box and let it charge before your first session. The battery ships already inside the light, so there is nothing to install.
Thread the back of the RGB Critter Tube Adapter (Long) onto the front of the RGB Critter BT. Hand tight is enough.
With the 2 mm Allen key, back the adapter's two set screws out about one turn so the socket is clear. They come fitted, so leave them in the adapter.
Slide the plain, unthreaded end of the saber tube into the adapter until it stops, about 1 in (2.4 cm) of tube disappears. The end with the Twist-On Cap already screwed on points away from the light.
Tighten both set screws with the 2 mm key until they are snug against the tube. Snug, not cranked: the tube is polycarbonate. Give the tube a firm tug, it should not move.
Twist the Modular End Cap off the back of the light, thread the Saber Handle Extension in, hand tight, then twist the Modular End Cap onto the back of the extension.
Push the Clear Silicone Saber Cap on over the Twist-On Cap for a softer tip, or leave the Twist-On Cap bare.
Twist the tube adapter off the front of the light with the tube still locked in it. Twist the BitWhip straight onto the front of the light. Switching back is the same in reverse, and the saber is ready to go with no set screws to touch.
There is one light in this kit, so the saber and the whip take turns on it. A second RGB Critter BT runs both at once.
Two sabers back to back
Tools: 2 mm Allen key (in the box)
| Each tube | Full staff |
|---|---|
| 6 in | 23 in |
| 12 in | 35 in |
| 18 in | 47 in |
| 24 in | 59 in |
| 30 in | 71 in |
| 36 in | 83 in |
Charge each RGB Critter BT on its own USB-C cable before your first session. Each battery ships already inside its light, so there is nothing to install.
Thread a tube adapter onto the front of one light, back its set screws out about a turn with the 2 mm key, push a tube's plain end in until it stops, and tighten both set screws until snug.
Do the same with the second light, adapter and tube. Tug each tube: neither should move.
Twist the Modular End Cap off the back of both lights. Keep them: they go back on whenever you run the halves as two separate sabers.
Thread the Critter Connector into the back of one light, hand tight. Then thread the back of the second light onto the other end of the connector, hand tight. No tools needed.
Push a Clear Silicone Saber Cap onto each blade tip, over the Twist-On Cap. That is the staff's impact protection, so keep them on for contact work.
Both lights tight on the connector, all four set screws snug, both tubes do not move when you tug them.
Two sabers: unthread the lights at the Critter Connector and twist a Modular End Cap back onto each one.
LED Staff (No Light) goes together the same way on two RGB Critter BTs you already own.
