Brightvision Hot Swap Bearings - Convert Modern Castings to Old School Redline Wheels!
At last! A quick solution for putting old school Redline Wheels on newer castings! Our exclusive "Hot Swap" bearings allow you to swap modern wheels with old style Redline wheels without modifying the cars! No more tearing the cars apart to replace the axle systems!
These work for castings from 1973 to present day peg cars. Enough for 6 castings. Once you "Hot Swap", you won't stop!
Here's how they work:
Cut the old wheels off without touching the axle (a good sharp pair of dykes does the trick)
Snap the “hot swap” bearing onto the bare axle (best to use a small pair of needle nose pliers to hold onto the bearing)
Push the Redline wheel onto the bearing
Just like everything else we make, we designed and manufactured these snap on "Hot Swap" bearings right here in the USA. The Hot Swap bearings are injection molded for superior quality, and made with genuine Delrin Plastic, just like the original Hot Wheels bearings.
That's it!
Please note: These will not work on early Redlines from 1968-1972. These are designed for the castings with thicker axles.

Bought some to try out thanks.
I have a hot wheels case chock full of Redlines from my childhood. Many are missing wheels, and some are even missing the bearing. Can I use these to get wheels onto my old redlines so that I can maybe display them with wheels?
Does the hot swap bearings run as smooth as the bearings on the old redline cars?
The wheel spin is not affected by the slot in the bearing. It’s a very small slot. You have to snap the bearing onto the axle. The bearings are made out of Delrin like the original Redline bearings. Delrin is a “self-lubricating” plastic, which is one of the reasons the original Redlines went so fast. However, because thicker axles are not as refined as the thin wire axles on redlines, sometimes they don’t spin quite as well as original redlines. The thicker axles come in a variety of thicknesses, and the Hot Swaps work with all of them.
@@BrightvisionWheels Thank you so much for the reply, it answers my question. I recently purchased a flying colors Rodgerdodger and a few other cars with the same type of wheels and the hot swap bearings look like they would be the easiest way to change the wheels. Thank you again for the reply.
