Hot Wheels AcceleRacers Drone Sweeper

[@houzonthill5673]

wow, this got reccomended to me in 2020, still hoping for the 5th mocie.... T-T

[@torunsmok5890]

Sadly never gonna happen. They rebooted/retconned vert and his dad into battle force 5 which was nowhere near as good imo

[@LutayOvich]

KZbin recommended this to me in 2023 ._.

[@A_Robin]

2024?

[@KaijuForceNeo]

Nearly 2025.

[@rodneylewis8781]

it would be neat if they would do an origional acceleracers pack of all the racers

[@BigStrat]

it would be neat if they actually did the hot wheels acceleracers season 2

[@saifhosein2103]

Hey bro it’s been 9 years, you still around? Lmao

[@rolando9023]

It's possible for them to do They're never able to sell every model they make, so they should have a bunch of them in storage

[@kitdeypoo5075]

Got this thing 7 years ago and I LOVED it! Still do aswell, I always was into acceleracers didn't collect many normal hotwheels mainly acceleracers

[@ChessPieceHalloween]

I remember getting this so much fun for my child hood

[@ghoulannabanana]

I used to have one of these when I was a kid! I got it for my 3-5th birthday (unsure) but i remember it was 25-50 US dollars. I played the HECK out of it. I used to get the cars and whenever I used to watch the movies, i would reenact the cars as the movie goes on and I used the sweeper during the 2nd-4th movies. I also remember making crazy tracks and using the sweeper to "spit" out the drones to control the acceleracers' cars to get sucked into the sweeper. I still have mines in the garage somewhere.

[@racegrooves]

Tony Lopez cool!

[@OfficialOrionDev]

RaceGrooves You haven't opened rocket fire yet? (Drone Sweeper vid)

[@OfficialOrionDev]

RaceGrooves My favorite episode of Accele Racers is ep.4, The ultimate race. It's when they (heros) steel a sweeper, and expect to save Mark Wild. Results are saved Wild( I watched all 4 ep.).

[@gotgaming1416]

U lucky I wish I had one of those

[@aaronkristofer18]

+RCT3plays MC I got it as a hospital present at age 4 but I can't find it ;(

[@evanclark8932]

My mom and I picked this up when I was younger, we got ours a Target, and I played with it non-stop. So much fun!

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for posting your experience!

[@austin_exe]

Gotta love bassline

[@greyyyj30]

yea

[@frankrice5128]

No vert

[@wizardly9211]

Finally bought one of my own, very happy! Even though I'm an adult now, I feel like a kid on Christmas again!

[@racegrooves]

@Doomz4U Yes, I bought both series for my son. I have watched all of the episodes once but my son watched them several times.

[@racegrooves]

I'm glad that many of the AcceleRacers tools are still being used.

[@cheezysalt456]

To answer some of your questions, I remembering getting mine back when I was a kid at Target. My pops bought it for me for about $29.99 and I still have it! It's pretty dusty though next to all my hyperpods and my case of acceleracers. Lol I remember playing with this thing all over the living room, re-acting some of the scenes from the movie! This indeed was one of the greatest toys I had as a kid!

[@Lt5K1TZ]

Whether you're aware of this now or not, the Sweeper in the movies (First revealed in the 2nd movie "The Speed of Silence") was meant to be a large Drone vehicle that could suck up multiple cars on the track. When inside, the cars would be disassembled, and the drivers would be put into small tubes near the rear of the Sweeper, with metal bars above them. There were also small mechanic Droids that would sabotage the cars, and in the 3rd and 4th movies, they were known to release Biker Droids.

[@josephlowry4320]

Man that toy looks really awesome, too bad I didn't got one or anymore of the Acceleracers cars, collecting them is fun.

[@aaronkristofer18]

I got this one for my fourth birthday because it fell right after a major hip surgery! Now I can't find it!!!! I loved how the designers knew the cars were supposed to go in backwards so had the circle thing to gyrate them around inside so they could come in and out facing the same way! Awesome!

[@racegrooves]

Even if you don't have the originals, it's great that they are still using the tools so we can get more colors =) As for the booster wheel looking like Mid-Air Madness, yes, same design.

[@thehyundaielantra]

I love that Drone Sweeper! I remember watching the Accelracers as a kid and I would scream at the TV whenever I saw the Drone Sweeper attacking.

[@JuanGamer0202]

i remember of drawning Taro's car getting chased by an sweeper when i was a kid, it was 2013 and my class mates dint cared much. Now i'm sad i got rid of all my old school note books, how much drawning have i made and i'm never seeing those again

[@fox-4879]

I got the drone sweeper in 2007 and i had all the cars about 4 years later i found them in a box and they were dusty and broken so ive been looking for them again i need them. I have the movies still

[@BobthePurpleCat]

the nostalgia i'm getting from watching this

[@racegrooves]

Congrats on having all of your AcceleRacer stuff!

[@racegrooves]

There are lots of under 20 year olds that would love to see the AcceleRacers movies continue (or at least be properly concluded) and also see some of the toys return.

[@BlackKatDemon]

Bought one today at a yard sale for a buck. It works, figured it out, now just got to hook my tracks ups and me and my nephew have something to play with. Awesome toy. Thought it was a car hauler, so did the lady that sold it to me.

[@wawagaming9292]

I'm glad i got exactly like this one on video, tonight from a thrift store.. 😍😍😍 can't wait to rebuild and Resurrection.. 🤤🤤

[@AMemeFrom06]

I don't remember how much it was, but I do believe I found it at a local supermarket when I was little! I religiously watched the show, and when this came out, I saved long and hard (did chores around the house; it was a good motivator =P). I had a ton of fun with it, and still have it in working order! Great place to store cars and occasionally shoot 'em out onto a track! Loved the video! Thanks and keep it up!

[@arsenicant]

As an 18yr I believe he is one of the better toy channel...only one subject hot wheels which are the collectibles of hot wheels that are his kids so basically he is "reviewing" his kids car collection

[@hwroadbeasts]

finaly i can commentafter 7 years ! this is the best review ever

[@racegrooves]

Thanks. I'm glad that I was able to give you an enjoyable time =)

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for sharing your recollection on the cost.

[@racegrooves]

I have been buying them from eBay. Many of the models are affordable. There were some that were very hard to find and those will not be cheap anywhere. Reverb, Chicane, Spectyte are still sell anywhere from $40 to $50 each.

[@racegrooves]

I don't know anything about your Dad but from my experience, a kid at 5 years old doesn't know a whole lot. Now that you are 11, you are starting to come into age where you have a better understanding of what's really going on in the world.

[@racegrooves]

All of the AcceleRacers merchandise were released around 2005. I have been collecting since 1998.

[@Drummer_Ilham]

The Drone Sweeper reminds me of a big 10 wheeler Semi Truck!👍😁🚛🤖💚

[@racegrooves]

Are you happy now that I did the video =) I will do some other stuff with both of the Sweepers later.

[@nilesrodriguez4343]

I had a cargo truck that was 2 levels with a ramp that also could fit cars in the cab of the truck. Man, I wish I saw these when I grew up. I only saw Highway 35 and feel like discovering Acceleracers is like finding a lost part of my childhood that I never got to experience.

[@jjameslimm]

thank u race grooves for making my childhood 💜💜💜

[@racegrooves]

You're welcome and thanks!!

[@racegrooves]

Congrats on having AcceleRacers!

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, I have more Silencers than the other team cars. =)

[@racegrooves]

LOL! You really loved playing with Bassline!

[@FrostSoul-qs6kq]

Jeeez that sounds like a blender .....

[@racegrooves]

Those Drones or robots that hang onto the bottom of the Drone Sweeper are pretty wild!

[@ToaTenitrus]

I remember seeing this in Target back in '05 but I passed it up for the Acceledrome track set. I was finally able to get myself one last year, and it is fantastic! You did miss a small feature in your review though. The Sweeper has four little parking spaces under the in-going ramp and the turntable (you can see them in the video at 2:07 and 5:49 respectively).

[@ThunderBird6619]

finally! im was waiting for this review ! very good review of the drone sweeper the best! it looks so cool but when it was on the stores i never seen it too :)

[@racegrooves]

I am glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@burnphoenix9880]

I would have loved to have this as a kid, even now I would like to have one in my collection

[@racegrooves]

Yes! Power Rage was one of the first Mystery Cars when they were in the black blisters. Speed Racer 6:45 wasn't a mainline car. It was a separate product for the movie. They had track sets and all sorts of stuff.

[@racegrooves]

@clydorene I bought tge Drone Sweeper off of eBay. The AcceleRacers models I bought back when the show was first shown on TV.

[@racegrooves]

Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed the presentation!

[@jonathasdavid9902]

Im brazzilian, when I was kid I watched this videos so many times and even try to draw at this moment: 00:48 Thank you!!

[@racegrooves]

Clarification. Power Rage was not originally a Mystery Car. It was an AcceleRacers release first.

[@racegrooves]

Yes, we have the 4-disc series so I seen all of the Realms.

[@racegrooves]

@TEAMSLAIN I bought all of the cars when they were released. I have the complete set loose and I have some still in the package.

[@racegrooves]

The silver cars are Silencers. The names of that team were all taken from the periodic table of elements.

[@racegrooves]

The Drone Sweeper is an awesome toy!

[@racegrooves]

These have not been in stores for many years. You will have to find a collector store or an online marketplace such as eBay.

[@austinsuman4090]

I know this is an old video but it almost looks like the faded one is supposed to glow in the dark, when your shadow was covering it, it looked more green

[@racegrooves]

I agree that it is very similar to a glow in the dark color but I don't recall anybody stating that fact in the other comments.

[@aaronkristofer18]

I don't know where this was sold, but I got one for my fourth birthday following a surgery. Now I can't find it seem to find it ;(. I would assume back in the day you'd be able to pick it up at Toys 'R Us, Target, K-Mart, the likes. But we bought all our HotWheels from the Walgreens down the road.

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for helping and answering his question.

[@racegrooves]

Well, I have an advantage. I have been collecting since 1998 and have a job so that I can buy toys =)

[@sea_serpant393]

My neighbor gave to me when i was little because her son was getting older so he didn't need it. I played with it so much and still have it. The sweeper has heaps of play value.

[@racegrooves]

Awesome! I think it's a great toy too =)

[@racegrooves]

Agreed! This kind of booster is safe for most cars. I should compare the boosters with the ones from the 3-Lane Super Speedway.

[@aricarphotomuc]

Almost 2022 and people still watch acceleracers. The drone sweeper is awesome

[@racegrooves]

After finally getting to experience one myself, I really appreciate the design!

[@racegrooves]

Yes, it is going to cost some money for the Drone Sweeper!

[@Nathaniel122313]

I had the Acceleracers Trash Crawler, my great grandmother got it for me when she learned that I loved the show and she watched my expression when I saw the episode that the crawler was in while I was staying at her house. I miss her so much R.I.P Lenny Beck.

[@oliversempire2182]

I bought a drone sweeper in 2014 for only $75! I'm having a lot of fun with it. Thanks for showing Me this exists racegrooves I probably should've put this thank you sooner but alas. Too much fun with the sweeper. Thanks again!

[@racegrooves]

+Rodger Crow you're welcome!

[@frisky6969]

I bought one for 30

[@DangerousArmyGuy]

Why didn't I see this before!? This is SO cool! I wanna find one and buy it very soon now!

[@alexgyawali7448]

that is one awsome power rage you showed while demonstrating that drone sweeper

[@racegrooves]

Be sure to tell your Dad thanks when you get new cars =)

[@Mickelock]

I'm pleased you have shown us those fantastic toys because was one of my favourites tv shows but please take good care of this cars

[@AmazingGuy13]

The toy I always wanted as a kid

[@NotMattyB]

I love Acceleracers. I remember my dad bringing the movie home and I watched it over and over.

[@racegrooves]

Yes, I have plans in the future for more Drone Sweeper videos =)

[@StretchVinyl]

When I was five or six, I got it from my grandma. It was the coolest toy! I would always attach a loop to it so the cars could go through a loop!

[@racegrooves]

Awesome!

[@jovanindranathaniel2611]

RaceGrooves i like your video

[@VW_Golf4552]

I'm remembered watching these Video back in the Good old Days

[@racegrooves]

No worries about them having the tampos worn off. You loved your cars and you played with them! That's what they are for! If you want them in mint condition, you can keep your eyes on eBay auctions.

[@racegrooves]

No, you can't get Reverb from me. That's the one that everybody wants. I don't sell or trade. Unfortunately, Reverb will be expensive to acquire now. That's cool that you still have your Drone Sweeper!

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for posting your recollection.

[@olihopkid3997]

I remember watching this when I was younger

[@racegrooves]

Yes, filming the complete AcceleRacers card collection is a project that I still need to do.

[@racegrooves]

I can see why you played with it for a long time. It's a great toy!

[@cold_ramen14]

I got one of these in 2006 from a Toys 'R' Us. A week later there was a huge flood that ruined the store. Luckily ive kept mine in great shape since then!

[@racegrooves]

Mattel employees don't have any special access to new cars. They have to buy them just like us but some of the Mattel warehouses have a Toy Store that the public can visit as well.

[@racegrooves]

Cool! I bet you had a blast with it!

[@racegrooves]

LOL! You were really into the show!

[@creative512]

That is the coolest toy I have ever seen! I am sure if I would have had it as a kid I would have had a lot of fun with it!

[@aaronkristofer18]

Oh my gosh I had this thing from age 4 to present, I have no idea where it is now, but I played with it ALL the time for about 5 years, and I never knew there was a track connector on the bottom, that is so cool.

[@racegrooves]

That's pretty cool that both of you had one!

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@menelaoslagos3242]

bro this takes me back a lot

[@nitroman1011]

I got it for my 7th birthday I remember! my mom got it for me and I believe it was $50? I can't remember the price, but I used it almost everyday and sometimes I even bring it out nowadays

[@racegrooves]

I'm glad to hear that you still have your AcceleRacers Drone Sweeper!

[@ToaTenitrus]

I remember seeing this in Target back in either 2005 or 2006. I was never able to get my hands on it, and it will probably be a while before I am able to get it because of how much it goes for online nowadays. If I ever am able to get it I am definitely going to hook up my green Hot Wheels track to it and make some sort of track layout with it.

[@firebreath16]

My brother and I each got one for Christmas one year. We both enjoyed the movies and TRIED to collect as many acceleracer cars and toys as possible. (I'm still trying to complete the 1:64 scale line -- I'm missing reverb, RD-08, chicane, and pile driver, the most expensive and rare/hard to get cars)

[@racegrooves]

@RockstarDriver Yes, I have all of them. I have an AcceleRacers playlist on my main channel page.

[@racegrooves]

The design is pretty cool!

[@racegrooves]

Correct, these are long gone and haven't been in stores for years.

[@rhodium3214]

Such an awesome toy. Glad I Still kept both of mine. They may have wear but they're still loads of fun, even after all these years.

[@racegrooves]

Agreed! That's cool you still have yours!

[@racegrooves]

I don't remember seeing the Drone Sweeper in the stores either. Even if I did, I probably wouldn't have bought it. I sure wish I did because they were going for $200 for quite some time.

[@racegrooves]

I don't have any Hyperpods but I do have the AcceleDrome and the Swamp Beast track sets still sealed in the box.
