God I wish they would make it simple for us and just put two screws on each end. Phillips But no they want to make us struggle.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

CashRulez Dollas haha this is true 😩

[@xsbgtr]

I really hate all the scale car makers for that. Hopefully someone, someday will teach them a lesson and will have her/his own scale car maker with a screw on each end and make it easy for everyone just to swap the wheels

[@bxysonupnext9859]

Frfr

[@user-kg8yp3dy9s]

Its because they dont want you to open it

[@xdrixn2115]

No, it's because of cheaper and faster production process 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MrsSking123]

Imagine putting mini hydraulics inside 😂

[@jt1300]

Just put little springs lmao

Little motors

[@therenegades7329]

Tomica cars have it

[@christinewestonchandler1]

hey! as a fellow hot wheel customer i just wanted to let you know that the mini pilot holes are also to put a screw into :) it makes it much easier to thread it

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Indeed my friend 🤙🏽

[@3rdeyediecast644]

And i never asked what your IG is if you have one for your customs You can find me @3rdeye_diecast 🤙🏽

[@battlegeek8118]

the pre-drill is to drill the post and tap in treads to add screws for refitting body to chassis and easyer for future customising

[@evancondella6204]

I just glue

That's a harbor freight bootleg dremel........

[@3rdeyediecast644]

No i used a cheap dremel from harbor freight

[@GMO--ge4ir]

Same difference.(Lol)😊

[@horacemannengineering8522]

@@GMO--ge4ir Definitely not. Just a rotary tool with a drill bit attached...

[@shxde-emokid2442]

Its a dremmel

[@stephenbracken8332]

Anybody else notice that he was drilling in reverse.

[@wvmtns6400]

How funny.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Magic!

[@tvoovm7254]

When you have more chunk of metal on one half of the rivet than the other, you know that you're in trouble; I experienced this a few times myself. It's a pain....

[@3rdeyediecast644]

TOM indeed

[@chozen9544]

Yeah. I just f*cked up my ice charger. Idk what the f to do. I litterally messed up the base.

[@Joe-dz7kj]

Great job! It’s not easy and it takes practice. Well done👊🏻

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Thanks bud!

[@JimDog794]

You sure make something that easy look hard.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Lol this is an old video when I first started I have since evolved. Thanks for watching though. 😘

[@locutz]

How do you put it back together though ?

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Locutz M some people tap the posts for screws to go in but i just use a little super glue... only downside is you cant open it up after unless you drill again

[@stever1412]

Thanks so much i bought a hot wheels and it was like tilted of the base

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Sweet!

[@TheCheesyGamer]

Enjoyed the vid

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Thank you!

[@martinbaxter4783]

I just purchased a Dream Van XGW. Rear tires aren’t the best, and could stand replacing. This only has one clear bit on the underside.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Awesome ! Some casting will only have one rivet but most will have 2

[@db891989]

A small carbide ball or carbide drill bit works best and will eat that metal up. If you customize alot it's worth the money and keep it cool with some oil or even just water.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Definitely! I have since upgraded since this video! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@stevenmoore3930]

I have a small bit, and it’s good to get started, but it doesn’t get any bigger

[@3rdeyediecast644]

You need to use the 9/64 bit in order to completely take apart.

[@horacemannengineering8522]

The best tool to use would be a small drill press from Harbor Freight and have a small vice attached to the work table. You would be able to make clean straight holes.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

I use a hand held drill now much better

[@Ethanthomas420]

come on guys we need to get this awesome guy to 1000 subs we can do it

[@3rdeyediecast644]

💙💙💙

[@dominicwiesli1309]

But can you put the car together without it falling apart?

[@christinewestonchandler1]

put superglue on the bottom, or drill the pilot hole into it and thread a tiny screw into the hole :)

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Yes with a pilot hole and screws see my IG page @3rdeye_diecast

[@Michael_theodore]

I dont have a drill the only thing i have is a few pack of scredrivers and 3 glues

[@3rdeyediecast644]

I dont think thats gonna cut it :(

[@Michael_theodore]

@@3rdeyediecast644 well i did cut a few cars with a flat head screw driver

[@damonchaywj9147]

Hi. I recently got into this hobby. I borrowed my dad's Dremel to open up my rx7 but it doesn't seem like I'm making any progress. I also asked my dad to help me drill but he also made no progress. If anyone knows what's wrong, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how to do it correctly. Thanks.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

damonchaywj I’m going to try to make another video soon subscribe this way you can stay posted

[@danielroberson5421]

Like he said they aren't all equal. Try drilling the 55 Chevy Belair base isn't great drilling on.

No problem

[@Crazyreaper898]

Where’s the mini one that was inside

[@brianwalker7771]

Power is NOT everything! I have been getting better results with a hand driven drill bit in a hand grip than a drill. As for your tool of choice in the video congratulations getting one that worked. I bought the same one from good old Harbor Freight and it would NOT even power up! The worst part is when I returned it the guy looked surprised that I actually expected it to work.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Yeah this video is old now i have since upgraded to a drill works great. Watch my newest video im using it there

Are you suppose to drill into the car or pulling it out?

No just the rivets

[@nemanjadj.7138]

Can i do this on a normal hot wheels which isnt custom?

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Absolutely!!

[@danielroberson5421]

Now I have learned there is a ring and to drill straight. Instead of sitting I think now I will use a table to get a straighter drill movement. Thanks man.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Wooo!! Awesome ! Yes straight is definitely the key ...glad i could help! Thanks for watching i need to put up a new video using my drill now

[@theultimatumerad]

i have the same hot wheels as the video

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Awesome!!!

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Fun fact You can use the cheapest drill with a good name brand drill bit and you will enjoy this hobby more. Please don’t use cheap harbor freight drill bits.

[@Jacooxd90]

Use a heat gun from harbor freight you heat the pin and they come off neatly

Oh aight very cool imma see if i try that in the future 🤙🏽

I thought your video was great. The only question I had was how do I know if I have a metal or wood one? I have some hard time opening mine and I had a drill

[@daniellemillman6802]

How do you put it back

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Danielle Millman there are a few things you can do. The easy way would be to super glue them back together or you can get self tapping screws i dont remember the exact size at the moment but i will repost here soon... but you can screw them back together

[@Light-Rock97]

Got a Hotwheels the other day, very nice body with a nice shade of green and tons of stickers, how I like them. But the seats are banana yellow, and so effin ugly. It's a single piece of plastic, as usual, so I just wanna paint it black, or even tan, but banana yellow is just too much.

[@3rdeyediecast644]

[@crashnburn3635]

But yet again how do you put it together!😂

[@3rdeyediecast644]

A few ways sometimes they snap back together , you cal also use super glue in rivet holes, or the best option is to drill pilot holes and use screws!

[@jedistreaming4006]

You can use a dremmel, but at a lower speed., on this video it was too fast.

You definitely need to learn how to use tools before doing a video, never grab the business end of anything, and then you had your bad on the power end, and that razor, take care of that cars paint when taking it apart, even if your going to repaint the body you still don’t want scratches in it. And I hope your wearing glasses of some sort.

Really 9 minutes to drill out two rivets 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@3rdeyediecast644]

Jaime Vasquez normally its less that 1-2 minutes.

Jaime Vasquez the reason it was 9 minute is because he was being helpful and saying what he used and getting prepared so really it would take around 3 minutes
