Anyone have an initiate with sound with default ( hole in bottom recommended) sabers message me or reply.
How do the electronics stay inside? Should I be worried if I already purchased it like that?

They stay in, because the diameter of the opening is smaller than the electronics, so the electronics can't slip out.

The only thing you should maybe worry about is the speaker being exposed by the big hole in the pommel. If you're careful, you'll be fine.

Hopefully there won't be any problems. I won't receive it till Thursday. I got my first Initiate today. The LE V2 Green 36" ultraedge midgrade and grab bag 24" midgrade. There's no hole in that thank goodness. Something moves a bit when u swing it. Not sure what. Maybe the blade screwed on too tight. I didn't notice as much when I had the 24" in there.
So u gotta pull out the speaker first to change batteries? (Le v4) or is the speaker part of the battery pack?

Thanks for your assistance.

How do u do points? Anyone can give them ?
Doesn't come off what points u have right?

Heya! Nice choice, for some reason I'm a huge fan of initiate V2s despite their simple design! What you notice "moving" a bit with the 36" blade is the blade itself. Imagine it being a cylinder covering another cylinder. The longer it is, the easier it is for it to "fold" onto itself and notice movement, that's why you don't notice it as much with the shorter blades.
And the battery pack and the speaker form one whole pack, so when you pull out the speaker, you're also pulling out the battery pack. Hope that helps!

And the way points work: you'll notice that under the profile picture of each member, there's a green bar and below "force alignment". Positive is light side and negative is dark side. The more positive or more negative it is, the more points that person has. And to give points, just click on [Give Light Side Points!] or [Give Dark Side Points!]

If you feel the open pommel is going to be an issue, you could order an Overlord or Manticor Low pommel.  Those both offer that low profile look, but with a vent pattern instead of the giant hole.  Or, if you want to add some length and change the look of the saber, you can get any MHS compatible pommel to put on there.

Other things that could be moving around in your hilt when you swing it are the LED module and the battery pack.  Neither are secured in there and can move around.  The LED module can be made to stop moving if you have your blade pushed in there tightly enough, but the battery pack will move in a stunt setup unless you cushion it with something.  It's even worse on the longer stunt hilts, because there's more room for it to move.

Do you mean the blade or the hilt? I mentioned the blade because my 36" wobbles a lot (even the heavy grade, the midgrade just feels like a spaghetti XD). The 32" wobbles a bit, but the longer the section in the hilt is to house the blade, the less it wobbles. And the 24" barely wobbles, if at all.

If your blade is wobbling, the retention screw might not be tight enough, or the blade isn't pushed down far enough.

Push the blade down as far as you can, and tighten the retention screw until it's fairly snug, plus just a little bit more, about 1/8 turn more.
