How is the BARC put together? Specifically, is it ready out of the box or be easy to mod to allow for toggling the side car off/on as desired?

I’m more willing to go with rule of cool and use cards for the weapons when it’s between the various side cars, but the off/on i almost would rather see that it’s clearly no car versus yes car.

After its all assembled it should be pretty easy to mod for that.

That’s an excellent question. I’m sure a lot of people will just add magnets if it doesn’t have a nice detachable connection point, but.

I have it and the spot were the car attached to the bike is actually a pretty tight fit and it stays in pretty well and is pretty stable even without glue or magnets, makes it really easy to pull the sidecar off if u aren't using it. Having said that I havent actually been able to use it in a game yet have just assembled it

Honestly, even without glue, it's a pain to get the side car's connector piece in and out. It holds it really well, and in the couple of games I've played with it, it hasn't been a problem. That includes spinning the side car so it faces backwards. I haven't tried magnetizing it yet, but may just to make it easier to swap the side car than it is now. The gunner is also set up so he can be swapped out so a semi-correct weapon is used (I glued the laser cannon to the gunner to keep from losing it, so I've only got two choices now) but you get two torsos, one firing the cannon, and one with the rocket launcher.
