How I swap some wheels, Custom Axle, Slap some Real Riders on It!

[@iliketurtles8918]

I just discovered the whole modding hot wheels scene and I've just been doing research so far. GREAT videos with lots of quality info. You earned yourself a new subscriber.

[@PBAJ1972]

2 things......#1 your screwdriver trick just saved my life immensely. I am always using the cutter on my Dremel to snap those tabs off. #2 the baking soda trick....very awesome. Definitely gonna give this a try. Thanks for sharing Nesto!!

[@nestop.9892]

+PBAJ1972 Thank you for watching my friend, I came across the screwdriver technique, bc of my lack of cutting tools, beware It does not work with every casting there are some in which the tabs are very close together and very strong. I appreciate your support PJ, and I am glad you were able to retain something from this video.

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Dude! Took me 2 nights to watch the whole video. I started watching it last night but I fell asleep haha. Neat method on how you do your wheel swaps. Just like that the casting looks good with the wheels 👍🏽

[@RiverasHotWheels]

I started to finally sort out my hot wheels at my new place. Send me a private message. I need your email so I can give you my new mailing address. Thanks Nesto.

[@nestop.9892]

+Rivera E Thank you bro, yeah after trying different methods, that is the quickest and easiest I found. Thank you for watching. I am glad you are finally at your new place, moving can be a nightmare. hahaI will send that message.

[@artisticamnesia4153]

Why have I never heard of this baking soda trick. Pure genius!!! I have a ton of uses for that, Thank you!!!!

[@nestop.9892]

+artistic amnesia Thank you AA, TBH I learned that trick for other uses, and recently though of applying it to customs, it is great because, you can sand it down afterwards, apply some more too, and paint it afterwards.

[@bigdrebeezy]

Definitely appreciate your method in this video. Just researching for a little project and this will come in handy for sure. Thanks for taking the time to help aspiring customizers. 👍 That time you spent 4 years ago, just got you another subscriber!

[@nestop.9892]

Thank you kindly, im happy that old video could help. 👍😁

[@bertoman4579]

Nice... Wheel swapping is a tedious job... Good work my friend... Love it!

[@rcs_rc_az961]

Wow! Mind blowin with the baking soda dude! I had to open a new youtube window to see other baking soda and super glue videos, thats pretty incredible! I read in the comments you can even sand and shape it when its cured?!? Thanks for this video man! "subscribed"!

[@tagno2]

AWESOME HOW TO VID Nest P.👍👍👍. I had no idea. I was not able to adjust the shaft. I think your idea is great. The white powder I saw for the first time. 😱 Thank you bro. You have a really great technique. 😄

[@nestop.9892]

+Kozi Taguchi Thank you Kozi, I learned in the process of finding ways to get the job done.The white powder is baking soda, it is mainly for cooking. thank you for your nice words, and your support. You are awesome.

[@tagno2]

Nesto P. You're welcome Oh baking soda . 😄👍 Thankyou

[@iDreamStudios]

Dude this is like watching a serious surgical operation man! Cool swap technique Bro. Nesto! #hotwheelgarage784 approved!

[@miguelcruz1210]

[@nestop.9892]

I am happy you tried it and it worked for you, thank you for your support buddy.

[@vanelopez3835]

nahuel hot wheels 2 57

[@jesusuribe6527]

Nice work!! Sometimes it's risky putting glue on the axle depending how thick it is. I over did the axle with glue to where it got in the wheel and the wheels won't spin. Great job man!

[@bennietolbert5755]

Thank you for sharing this video . I am inspired to do die cast customs again mostly wheel changes.

[@snakesdiecast7130]

Wow that's interesting I'm going to try that method .... Thanks for sharing👍🏼

[@radar468]

Thanks for the baking soda trick! I am so going to use it. Great video.

[@nestop.9892]

[@nestop.9892]

+Lamar Faciane Gracias amigo, I am glad it came out ok. of course buddyill do those swaps for you.

[@LamarFaciane]

Nesto P. THANK YOU!

[@hippywildchildracing]

Hi I like your tricks here. How would you do the axle and tire swap for a hotwheel track head to head down hill racers. Ty

[@ronnieblack2482]

I noticed you and some others do half axles. I make whole axles from scratch. Is the half axle easier to you? I use 1/32 rods with #1 jewelry crimping beads as axle end caps with a tiny dab of super glue gel. I am going to try that half axle my self and see if its easier.

[@nestop.9892]

Hi, this is an old method i used, now i use full axles... but guve it a shot, maybe you can learn something new...

[@EdsterIII]

Besides the detailing and painting, tire swaps are my biggest issue. I had an older Greenlight Daytona that had the wing snapped off. But I haven't had luck cutting axels and using glue to re-attach. I had gotten E6000 industrial adhesive but its real gooey and leaves a string. Not sure if baking soda will work but thats an awesome trick. I was thinking of using tubes for the axels. As you can tell and Ive mentioned I'm just starting. And your vids and Rivera's have been a big help. Thank you. I now have another trick. Snapping the tabs are an issue too but your trick will help. I learned from Rivera's channel that skimping on tools and paint can be a downfall. So I'm in the middle of changing my paints etc. Again thank you sir. I have big respect for what you guys have accomplished. This weekend I'm going to do a video marathon of you guys and make more detailed notes. I'm serious about this and I really want to succeed. I'll let you know my progress. I do have 3 done but they are soo weak..lol. I also have a Nissan Fairlady I stripped, primed, and cheap paint was not good. So started over. Live and learn. Peace my friend.

[@allenturner6178]

Hey man THANK YOU!!! My tabs wouldn’t hold so I used your super glue trick!!!

[@jimmymitchell2474]

thanks for a great video...I just subscribed after ledicast gave you a shout out...can't wait to watch more of your videos...

[@johnhowards2846]

What do you use to put the car back together? How do I make it loo like the car had never been taken apart?

[@tracymcdougal6381]

What size drill bit would you use if we're going to use a screw? Matter of a fact what is the process of using a screw ? What size of the screw? I am very new to this hobbie as you can tell. If you can help I would be very appreciative. Thanks Tracy

[@cat740dt]

thank you this video was very helpful and you thought me some new techniques thanks

[@nestop.9892]

+JP Farms & Customs I am so happy people are able to take something away from this. i appreciate your comment buddy. Happy Holidays

[@Mexicosisepuede]

Great video Nesto, thanks for sharing

[@nestop.9892]

+Alejandro Sanchez Thank you Alejandro, I am glad there are a couple of useful tricks I can share with you guys.

[@Mexicosisepuede]

First time I see using this method and I really like it, just how long does the wheels stay together???

[@nestop.9892]

+Alejandro Sanchez i use gorilla super glue gel, which is supposed to be shock proof, and super strong, i have not had any fall appart yet. give it a try buddy

[@Mexicosisepuede]

I will thanks Nesto

[@frediwillis8034]

Were you using some kind of special zoom lens on your phone that allowed you to focus in and out so fast?

[@nestop.9892]

For this video i used a camera and a tripod, you can also zoom in while recording with your phone, just use the pinch method, and then tap on the screen to focus.

[@fadatecMiami]

Thanks for the How to....Keep up the good work.

[@rayhuggins5013]

Great informative video. Enjoying your videos. Just subed to you!

[@jimmyvanhoose5097]

Awesome video man

[@fungz28]

What's the tool u used to snap the metal?

[@tommyhache945]

awesome trick nesto thanks for this video it was apreciate

[@specialagentorange4329]

When you swap the tires, right before you glue them on. How do you center them so the wheel is poking out too much or too little, when you put it back together?

[@nestop.9892]

I push it all the way in. I use a different technique now days.

[@marxus4289]

Is there a place you bought all those wheels. Or did u buy a pack of hot wheels and rip all the wheels out?

[@JediGamingX]

Who's still using this method in 2021? I am 💪

[@juanmendoza8040]

Good tips bro

[@sifredozapata3072]

[@hellisio]

Awesome tricks. Now i have no excuses not to try my hand at wheel-swapping. Does the baking soda trick work with any type of superglue? Thanks for sharing.

[@nestop.9892]

Thank you Elisio, yes the baking soda works with any super glue, i prefer gorila super glue gel, it is supposed to be shock proof. and you definitely gotta try it, it is super fun.

[@hellisio]

I will give it a go if i can find it here in Vietnam :)

[@nestop.9892]

+Elisio Da Costa good luck buddy, any super glue works amazingly.

Good information on how to swap wheels Nesto 2k giveaway

[@TheHelado36]

If the glue is too runny, that glue will actually travel towards the tire and glue the whole thing! Is a risky procedure !

[@alexanderperez2732]

This was helpful thanks

[@nestop.9892]

I am glad it helps buddy

This method sucks

[@nestop.9892]

For some people, there are many different ways, all people work their own way. Figure out what works for you, sometimes is the execution that is at fault, but it depends on the customizer.

[@TheHelado36]

If the glue is too runny, that glue will actually travel towards the tire and glue the whole thing! Is a risky procedure !

[@nestop.9892]

That is correct, i suggest using gel super glue, it does not run. thank you for watching.
