  • In this video we will go over everything that you need do know to be able to install any wheels to any Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, M2 or Adventure Force 1/64 diecast vehicle. I will go over, step by step the process of design, wheel harvesting, axle design, axle fabrication, wheel installation, glueing, and finished axle installation. I will go over all of the tools and materials necessary to complete your custom axle project. And along the way I will go over all of my failures that I had while learning what I know so that you don’t make them yourselves. I will also give you two of my perfect axle secrets that will put you ahead of the game in your quest to produce a not only a sweet looking ride, but one that is functional. These cars will not fall apart if you follow this easy process. Display to Track Day, you too can create any custom car your imagination can come up with and It all starts with axles, wheels and tires.!!

    Instead of ca and gorilla to put the axles in the chassis, you can also use 5 minute epoxy..

      That one I haven't tried. I know exactly what you are talking about too. I've seen it before. I'll pick some up. 😊

    I always wanted to know were you got your axle tubes. I was swapping wheel sets that were the same length or shorter. Thank you for this great new video. This answers so many questions. 🤜🤛

    • @AMAZINGRC

    Is it possible to crimp the brass tube with wire crimpers (as you would a butt connector) to hold the axle in place? I guess you might deform the brass tube and it wouldn't fit in the chassis. Just a thought.

    • @AMAZINGRC
      @AMAZINGRC  Před 3 měsíci +1

      You can crimp the tube.However it does not give you a really good hold on the axles. I wish I could juse the crimping message. But I have not had very good luck with wheels staying on..
