    Hi all, just having a look through my MO bundle, checking components & dry fitting & there seems to be some rather large gaps in the bike. Has anyone else seen this? It's mostly between the upper part which includes the panniers & the lower chassis (which is in 2 parts).

    Needed a bit of filing on mine but fits OK now.

    The top part is also kind of thin so might have got bent in transit.

    Mine's the same, it looks as if there was a piece missing.

    I mean, I get they were going for Enduro motorcycle, but still it's pretty ridiculous.

    There is a big gap. On re-watching the YouTube clip however it does seem as though it's deliberate.

    You mean this hole? That's an intentional design choice, but it's pretty much hidden by the rider in the promo shots.

    That was it, plus the space above the back wheel. Took me a little while to work out from the video.

    Yeah, took me a couple of tries to realise that's how it went together.

    Real life motorcycles have the same gap, to leave room for the swingarm to pivot up without hitting the seat when absorbing shocks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swingarm).

    The gap is larger than life on the Montesa's bike, I presume because it needs extra shock absorption due to the weight of his power armor!
