The RV dark side is a beloved hero saber. Here in two versions: a collector's version and and dueling version.
Both hilt designs will do perfectly in dueling conditions, but one offers the great look of the RV saber but in more affordable price package.
It is fitted with a covertec wheel, super practical when it comes to cosplaying. It allows you to attach it to your belt with one of our additional covertec belt clip.
VHC : This saber has VHC threads (Variable Hilt Component standard by Nexus Sabers), meaning it can be associated with parts of other VHC sabers and can accommodate VHC compatible accessories. See below.
CLASSIC VERSION ONLY: The pommel has a VHC thread (female) so you can remove the pommel and add a coupler (externally threaded / male). For the quick release coupler please note you'll also need an additional coupler (externally threaded / male) to act as an extender providing a male thread for the quick release coupler. The ALTERNATE VERSION with the slide-out core is not compatible with couplers and covertec modules. The core needs to remain enclosed by the pommel. Alternatively you can use the covertec wheel screw to block the core, at your own risks.
Like all of our amazing sabers, this hilt is made of aluminium 6063. Every saber boasts stunning finishes on a great build with strong materials to offer either the best reproduction of a legendary design or a very comfortable and yet stylish dueling weapon.
SABER CONFIGURATIONS
Here's a simple breakdown of our available configurations. See our "Which version to choose ?" info box above for more details.
- 🥉Standard : the base model with a Xeno 3 board, featuring rich sounds, lots of effects and customizable through a mobile app or via SD card. Standard sabers are baselit sabers with a lighter blade made for heavy dueling. Perfect if you plan on doing cosplay or stunt/duel performances or if you simply don't need the neopixel blade.
- 🥈Premium : it's our most wanted option! The same Xeno 3 board but with a neopixel blade. The high density LED strip in the blade allows for an amazing look and tons of visual effects. Now customizable through a mobile app and, as usual, via the SD card.
DIMENSIONS
- 📐 Dimensions of the hilt : 29 cm / 11.4 inches in length, weighs approx. 370 g / 0.81 lbs
- 📐 Dimensions of the blade : it's our 1 inch diameter standard, then you choose between 72, 82, 92 cm (28, 32 or 36 inches) for the length. Polycarbonate thickness is 2mm for Standard sabers and 3mm for Premium and Deluxe sabers.
- 📏 Recommended length of your lightsaber : a lot of academies and fencing federations request that the total length of your dueling saber stays between 100 and 110cm (39.4 to 43.4 inches). The blade usually sits inside the hilt for about 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 inches). If you mean to use your saber in an official setting, be careful and choose the appropriate size, if you don't care for this, go for the longer blade length : 36 inches / 92 cm.
