I know this isn't a "build" video, and I suck at tutorials which is why I generally don't do them lol. So this may not be your ideal video, and I completely understand.
Thankyou Keith for the in-depth tutorial. It's easy to overlook some of the details regarding wheel swaps resulting in frustration at shitty fitment
Great video Keith thanks a bunch man for all your help with the hobby ik ow it's not something you normally do but do you know a way to do a drift stance with tubes instead of just bending the axel like all the vids I can find look forward to the next one mate
@@festaawsome6297 I do not know, sorry. I would think you could still bend the ends of the tubes once the wheels are glued in. The brass is very pliable
@@OutlawSpeedShop2001 you know I never even thought about doing that what a dunce lol thanks man maybe when I'm done I'll do a wee video to show off some of my customs
@@festaawsome6297 cool! Look forward to seeing them!
Nice, 'How to' vids are good to do for those of us who are only just beginning in this hobby.
Thanks for the video. It's very useful and informative for those of us who are starting out with customizing.👍👍👍
I was determined to figure this stuff out by myself, but a video like this would have saved me a few months of work--good thing the trial and error was fun. One slight "improvement" I might suggest is: If the axle stubs reach fairly close to the middle of the brass axle tube, only one notch needs to be cut in the center. Liquid (not gel) superglue (cyanoacrylate) will flow freely into the tube through the notch and lock the axles tight. I usually don't even have any nubs/bumps of excess glue to trim off the axle tube afterwards.
Keep doing tutorials. We can all learn something new, especially when there are many ways to accomplish the same goal. You might help someone on a tight budget solve a problem without just throwing money at it. Or inspire someone to take new chances on their builds.
BTW, I read somewhere that the arched plastic or metal on the chassis behind the wheels on Hot Wheels cars is to keep the axles from getting deformed when little kids push down too hard on their cars. It limits how far the axles can be bent. Makes sense to me. I pretty much always get rid of it using my belt sander.
Appreciated insight to the differing methods, clear explanation, half expected a white board and a pointer, lmao.
Damn it. I didn't even think of that. I needed an excuse to draw stick figures.
@@OutlawSpeedShop2001 could actually help in an odd way with explanations.."Professor Outlaw and his whiteboard of lunacy" I expect a lab coat!!!!
@@kristianstaniland8954 the one with the sleeves in the back 🤣
Excellent video, very interesting and informative, thanks.
Take as long as you need to get that modification just right, Keith. I love your 'winging-it-reviews', I take notes the old fashion way (pen & paper) while watching these types of videos that you do. You always provide a shit-ton of really useful information for us novice diecast mechanics, keep up the great work buddy, I'm always looking forward to more of your videos, whatever it is?! Practice & patience makes perfect modified diecasts, the Outlaw way lol
Thank you!!
The car went from yeah, nice. To, Wow!!! Wheels, insane what a difference they make. Cheers
Awesome...I sometimes find new collectors in the stores and once talking end up at customs and how to what to use and so on ....I usually just send them to CZcams it's alot easier and hand them one of my own work RAOK customs I figure it gives them a visual goal. I've sold some pieces online but it's more of a satisfaction to give them away. Thanks for helping everyone better understand the amount of effort that goes into custom pieces.
Great how to vid .... always a good thing to get how to info out there ...
The wheel swap makes a world of difference. I like your videos where you school us. The tips are invaluable. Thanks Keith for this 🍻
Awesome tips for us beginners. Please consider keep doing tutorials far more interesting than loud music.
Another great video. Like your shop setup. Thanks again.
No destruction in the Comments so far. Just a Big thank you. Would like to see more of this, but i watch any new Video coming up on your channel in General. :)
Your videos have inspired me to try for myself
Seriously, glad you did this. I've recently taken this up as a hobby and wheel swaps are hands down the most difficult part to come to grips with for a n00b. Thanks!
I actually like you going slow and showing step by step what you were doing. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video brother 👍 this is gonna help alot of beginners to the hobby !.
Keep doing these types of videos
Thanks for the tutorial, I've just ordered some replacement wheels and was intending to do a couple of customs on Matchbox superfast so this was very timely.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing 👍👍👍
Man, I enjoy the tutorial. Not Boring at all. Love the info for sure and would love to see entire process like drilling body-tabs to remove and re-attach body. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge man. Good Stuff. PS I’m from back in the day. 55+ HotWheels, 60-70s Hot Rod Chopper Bicycles, HotRod Muscle Cars are here to stay. They Bring the Big Bucks All Day. Dig Your style. THANKS AGAIN.
KEEP EM COMING..🤩😎🤓
Sweet tutorial!!! Nothing wrong with these
Great video ... wish there was something like this when I started customizing... would of saved a lot time lol
Great video 👍 I've been modifying Hot wheels for a few months, thanks for sharing.
Saved into my archives of Diecast customization videos! Most informative man!
Another great video Keith! I learn something from every one of your videos. Thank you sir
I 2nd that!!!
Damn, wish I could keep my workbench that tidy!
There's no doubt it Keith, the wheels really do make a costume diecast the real deal!!!!
Great video. I generally prefer seeing tutorials over builds, unless the build is featuring some specific technique I'm interested in.
In addition to the car hobby, Im pretty sure we have the same taste in music. Keep it up brotha!
Excellent tutorial! It’s great information for anyone starting out customizing HWs.
The wheel swap made quite a difference on this firebird!!
I may have commented before but thanks for your tutorials. Keep them up if you can they help out people a lot. You builds are always very well done. I need to get a cropping tool soon so I can start doing wheel swaps
Those Green Light wheel kits look 😎.. They can really spice up the looks!!
I liked it very informative even though I watch yall it will make more sense now that you did this video .... thanks looking forward to the next 🤙
Is it cool if I ask where you source the extra wheels? - new to the hobby
Great tutorial excellent how to. Thanks for sharing
Cool thanks! Learned a lot! Very informative. I'm just getting into this hobby. Enjoying it so far.
Thank you thank you, perfect content.
Very informative. Thanks alot for the axle tube info. That helps in customizing the size I want. Keep rolling.
awesome how to bro!!!!
Killer job great video
This is a good video because I'm about to start swapping wheels on my hot wheels and matchbox cars. So your video was very helpful. I definitely need a dremel! ^^
Excellent choice off music by the way! ;)
Greetings from germany! 🤘
great video today.
All I did to my FireBird was use paper clips for the axles and glue
Nice job buddy looks cool thanks for the teaching bud always good to learn from a pro thanks for sharing buddy keep up the great work 😎👍🏻👍🏻
0:12 I see those Maiden album covers 🤘🏻🤘🏻
That's the first thing I noticed!
Very informative thanx Keith it will help a lot
Great tutorial.
that helped, thanks Man!
We need more of these using American castings. Seems like the others have gone the JDM-route and high end customizations that simple mods like this are forgotten for the beginners. Could you one day to a paint comparison of a raw casting? One fresh out of the stripper (washed and dried naturally), another that has been given the scotch brute, wire wheel treatment only and the last fully sanded & polished? Lots of newbies need to see the difference a little effort makes.
Absolutely. Also, check out Paul over at Diecast Graveyard, he has some good tutorials too!
Great tutorial Keith...
Great info & Thanks for making video
This Firebird definitely could use a wheel swap!!
Loved this tutorial
Thanks for showing how first time to try
Gr8 video 👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing
Great vid👍
Great video!!
Super helpful! 👌
I'm using metal wire to make axles, it doesn't crimp like the brass tubes so I want to use the crimp tubes and or beads at the ends of the wire, what size crimp tube and or beads would the wire fit inside of? K&S @/5501- .032 music wire.
Love the wheels much better !
Nice I would do more if I was you.
Great video. Honestly, video length isn't much of an issue when the topic is covered the whole time. When there's lots of droning babble like a high school English teacher, it gets....uninteresting. NOT SO here.
Tutorials are nice, because it's a good reference source. Someone can always go back to it and watch over and over. Easier to find also, rather than trying to find a specific episode that had the how-to but was posted months or even years ago. Please do more of these when possible.
Ok, need coffee. I'll shut up now.
Looks like you have assembled a nice array of wheels for wheel swaps..
great to watch learn so much
great video keep it up
I had That firebird before i gave it to my niece that firebird was in my collection for 7 years
Does this improve speed or is it only for aesthetics?
Thanks was help full😁
Thank you sir.
Thank you!
Hello where get ur wheel kit?
Great Video 👌 what's the type of Long nose Pillers have a Cutting edge on the End 🤔🤔🤔
How would I do the Change of wheels from another Hotwheels Car to a Hotwheels Car - Thank you Sir
Amen 👋👋👋
Can you link me where to get the tubing to put HotWheels axles in please? I cant find it anywhere and I really need some to start working on some projects.
Hobby lobby #5100 6 pieces etc by k&s 3.99 a pack!!
Excellent information. Question though, I have a 1968 boss hoss and the left front wheel is missing. The axecels have those wheels that you have to split with a knife to get the wheel off. Would like to know how to replace them. Thanks. As always great content. 👌
Yes, those are cap style redlines. Redlineshop.com has them...as do I on my website. They just snap on.
We can be friends! Hot wheels and IRONMAIDEN!👍👍👍
Hey my friend it is good to see how you do your things too, it is generally the same thing that people do but each person has their own specific ways and what they do. You mentioned they have a crimping tool to do the ends of the piano wire, I always used the steel piano wire and it will work on that correct? If it does work on the steel piano wire where do I acquire one of these crimping tools,? If you don't mind me asking.
Yeah, it will work on the piano wire. The company "channellock" sells them
Thank you
Awsome
Any tips on making doors open and close?
Where do I find different size of wheels of the same kind? I am new in this and I buy wheels online, but they are all same size, so cars with different size wheels in front and back don't work.
eBay
Thank you I always learn something from most if not all of your videos so I love them. Where did you get that case of wheels from ?? To me rims n tyres are the most important thing on any car but they are bloody expensive I'm just starting out doing these builds I have 5 hot wheels cars that all need wheels deep dish front n rear but more width at the rear do ya have any ideas n I'm on a budget. FULL SEND U.K.
Try treadsdiecast, got some good wheels and reasonably prices on wheels and shipping
Treadsdiecast is based in Malaysia I believe so it work out buying from them as us postage tends to be a lot more expensive send to the uk were as treads has a flat rate to Europe 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice vid! It would help us noobs if you put links to the vendor of the parts you use...
DO more video,Bro!
👍
Hi.Where did you buy all the wheels from?
thats my same question maybe like from eBay or amozan
Mono block has its own website monoblock wheels
Hey bud remember when I was crying about how lousy my college bball team was doing?... They've now won 5 straight and are playing great... GO ORANGE!
Same with the M2 kits..
Where can I get rubber wheels and rims for hot wheels
AliExpress
etsy
My best friend knew a guy who customized diecast cars, 1/64 - 1/18, to replicate someone's real vehicle. He was able to put it into the retailer's packaging, so it looked 100% legit from the factory; can you or do you do this for customers?
I have done similar in the past. But I found that I enjoy making things custom instead of replicating originals
Anyone know the size of the tubing?
Somebody didn't watch the video!!! LOL
@@Butcherbuilt not many people have the time to watch a 26 min video on swapping wheels on a car smaller than my hand.
What year did you graduate
1988
Or just to get the wheels to spin properly!
It looks like sometimes you have to fabricate a bit for a good stance...
I wonder what possessed Hot Wheels to put such unrealistic wheels on their cars?
