Hot Wheels

accessories should keep you busy. want an off road trailer for it?

 

That one is not a custom. FLY-N-HI was where I ordered from when I wanted spend money on my '86 and they had the coolest stickers. I think I still have one of there t shirts still in the plastic

 

I think I have a few of those stashed around. At the moment I don't have a real trailer for my setup so I'll pass for now thanks though!

Still working on getting my 3d printer up and running but when I dial it in hopefully I can print accessories instead of making them out of styrene.

 

Anyone have evil weevils? Been looking myself but hard to get.

 

How are yall doing this? Would love one of my truck.

 

I used a Matchbox they released last year. Theyre harder to find now.

 

That's pretty neat! 3d printing the modifications?

 

I havent added any mods yet but maybe Bruce will be able to chime in how he did his.

 

Cool man, thanks for the replies!

 

that's awesome

nope
and another stellar example of why I should stay out of this thread... now I gotta find one of them... !Q$#%(!

 

I have a few at home I can post pictures of later. Starting to get good money for them.

 

I used the matchbox tacoma shown in the thread above, stripped it down with paint stripper, filled in the gap in the roof with styrene sheets cut to fit, glued then bondo/filled/sanded etc....

As for the custom stuff I use a combo of brass/copper/aluminum tube or round stock (the super small stuff) etc... whatever I can find in the scrap parts bin. As for paints I use a combo of touchup paint to match the body color, tamiya acrylic paints to do the detail work etc. As for the wheels I had someone 3D print them for me, I made a second rev of it and might try to print them on my new printer however I don't think it can handle that resolution.

 

1970 Hot Wheels Evil Weevil. Both are a little ruff on the paint but roll great. Blue one still has a working sunroof

 

RLC Evil Weevil from 2005. Somewhere I have the pink RLC one.

 

So rad, mucho respect!

 

I posted this one a little while back. Never liked the orange wheels on it so I had my buddy put some chrome real riders on it. Hot Wheels 1/64 custom

Here’s a cool one on eBay.

 

I've got this one on my desk at work (although technically it's a Matchbox). It's an '89 production model that I've had since I was a kid, so it's well-used. It's kind of ironic; I work for a tire wholesaler now, and our primary brand is Goodyear.
