Nice work Paul. I've watched a bunch of make your own axle videos, but I'm always up for another. Buying the M2 cars with the extra wheels never occurred to me. I get my fancy wheels from Samed or the Amazon! 😁
I keep wanting to buy some off of temu, or Ali express. I just can't make up my mind with style I want, and sometimes they can be a bit confusing on which style they are selling. I really like the M2 ones because of their detail. Their a bit finicky to get on the axle straight though.
Great video, Paul! I've been customizing Hot Wheels on and off for a year now and it's a lot of fun. I did wheel swaps, repaint with spray cans and even a bit of custom body work with epoxy to make a Hot Wheels key (not keychain!). I would like to dab into decals installation but I don't want to overpay, so I'll look into the possibility of making my own. The same with 3d printed parts down the road. Subscribed and looking forward to your next videos!
Great video, thank you for doing this and I'm looking forward to seeing the next part. Great choice for a car, not because it's a sweet diecast, but because of the complexity when adding a different set of wheels. I think this video can be used as a great demonstration that yes, anybody can probably do a simple 1:1 wheel swap, but more often than not, that's not always the case- as I've been learning myself, and it usually will require the individual to file down, use some sort of tubing, maybe some cutting or even grinding of the fenders - if looking to get the wheels to roll correctly. Again, a great first how to video and thank you for doing this, looking forward to seeing the next part.
Thanks for reaching out. I am glad to hear that you liked the video. I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in such a video. Anyhow. Next Monday the painting video of this casting comes out. So stay tuned. Man I always wanted to say that. 😁
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies definitely will be lookkng forward to that....trust me, i think there are a lot of people who will not only enjoy this detailed video, but will benefit from it as well - especially newbies such as myself who are just getting into this great hobby. the first step to a custom hot wheels starts with getting the wheels setup properly, then everything else will fall into place....look forward to next monday.
This was a great video. This has given me many ideas of what I can do for some of the tractor-trailers I have on my Ho scale layout by adding a driver. I am enjoying your channel tremendously. Thanks (Calvin Stephens)
Thank you Calvin for the kind words. I am so happy that my little ole channel is able to help others, or at least give folks ideas..... Take care and happy railroading.
