@arkan d ahhhhhh that makes sense! I was having a nightmare time trying to squeeze it into the plastic pieces that hold the car steady, those suckers were stiff

[@gdinfernoboy2157]

It hurt so bad to watch him try to shove the cars into the Rocket socket. Youre supposed to lift the odd orange head connected to the pipes. It lifts up at a 90 degree angle and opens the black bars. The piece in the front tightens the black bars once the car is in

[@theacceleracershub2904]

Hahahaha duuuuude I know watching it back I was like a Neanderthal cramming it in there haha. Those poor cars definitely got abused in that part of the video In my defense - I never had the rocket socket as a kid and I couldn’t figure out why the back pieces were so rigid haha it makes sense now

@@theacceleracershub2904 gotcha, I might make a video about hyperpods in 2022. Ill be going against the grain a little bit since I havent done a video like this before. That being said I dont have the exact materials for recording this type of video 😅

That was great to see all those hyperpods working! I have a full set myself, and last I checked they all worked too! Just missing some feet for the climber hyperpod. I even have a working Sweeper! Great video man!

[@brian_sh699]

Yo hang on the slam ram hyper pod was kinda throwing it back for a second haha. Seriously though this was a really fun video! It would be fun to see the hyper pods in action. Keep up the awesome content!

[@theacceleracershub2904]

Haha it had me feeling some type of way looking at it 😂 I’m glad you enjoyed man, thanks for watching!

[@christianwaters1114]

I'm glad I helped you remember on the stream. That caterpillar Hyperpod is the same as mine with being Brittle and yellow in the front. That battery compartment is the reason mine is broken. I chipped most of the plastic trying to remove my batteries. Glad to see the Dragster Hyperpod works though! Hey if you don't want the slam Ram Hyperpod I'll take it I don't care if it's dirty.

[@theacceleracershub2904]

Interesting! It’s odd how they yellow in the same place haha. Duuuude seriously that battery compartment was an absolute nightmare on it. Idk who designed it like that, but they suck haha. Shoot, someone actually already emailed me and claimed the slam Ram, they made me an offer on it and I accepted. I was going to just toss it im surprised it had interest given it’s condition.

Keeping’ it clean. Good work for sure. Re ebay listing - You give full disclosure, then yer good 2 go! Also… What’s New Pussycat? :)

[@klash4631]

Yeah… Acceleracers Hyperpods, esp the “Deluxe” (lol) ones were no engineering marvels. Also, they were pretty high price even when they were new like $24+ a pop when most toys, even the motorized ones where priced in the teens or less.

[@theacceleracershub2904]

@@klash4631 wow I had no idea they were so expensive back in the day! They definitely were mind-blowing as a kid, they were huge eye-catchers on shelves! What’s new with you man?

[@klash4631]

@@theacceleracershub2904 And that was the price at the Mattel Wholesale Warehouse in the Greater Toronto Area in Canada. At Walmart etc. It was more. Looking back at it, the technical issues with those high-end Acceleracers toys and the fact that they were higher priced than a lot of stuff was probably a factor in Acceleracers demise. Also, and this you definitely are aware of, in 2005 & 2006 parents were complaining that the decals and marking came off too easy for a kids toy that should be made for lotsa wear & tear.

[@theacceleracershub2904]

@@klash4631 oh 100%. They have such cool decals but they melt off at the slightest touch haha. I think after about a week of ownership all of my childhood cars had absolutely no decals left. I can definitely see how the high prices tanked the franchise a bit, but man, I sure did love the concept of the sweeper and dlx hyperpods!

[@Golden0718]

All I had as a kid for the hyperpod was dual driller, and the ram shooter. So seeing most of those was the first time I saw them in action really.

[@theacceleracershub2904]

They’re awesome man, the caterpillar crawler is probably the most unstoppable one, it’s a shame I never got it working

[@Golden0718]

@@theacceleracershub2904 Yeah. That's a shame, but still a pretty good display peace for Acceleracers collectors.

I still think they’re some of the coolest toy concepts I’ve ever seen, they’re awesome

[@LeaveTheMark_YT]

Dang, I really haven't been keeping up with your videos lately! 😅 Great to see you trying to restore these old HyperPods! You could also try opening up the toys to see if there's any dust on the circuits and mechanisms, or if there's anything broken inside them. Should be too hard, as long as you remember which bits go where when its time to put it back together :)

[@theacceleracershub2904]

Shoot man, I’d probably do more harm than good if I opened them up haha, I’m not tech savvy at all!

[@LeaveTheMark_YT]

@@theacceleracershub2904 Hahah, I can understand that man! It's not that hard to do, tho. You can't just open a toy up and have something break immediately XD

[@gdinfernoboy2157]

@@LeaveTheMark_YT i feel like I did that woth my caterpillar crawler. I opened it up to clean the dust out, I dont know if it was before or after I opened it but the wires had snapped off from the motor. I now have an unusable hyperpod until I take the time to get a small soldering kit

[@Codiak1337]

I mean i would have totally bought that slam ram hyperpod. Idc that it was dirty those things are hard to get and expensive too!

[@theacceleracershub2904]

Yeah, I didn’t realize it would have such interest, even in that terrible condition, someone actually purchased it from me right before I tossed it, sorry about that man

This is pretty cool. I still have my caterpillar and climber hyper pods in a closet somewhere. Makes me wonder if they would still run if I put in new batteries lol. I also never had the dragster hyper pod as a kid but tbh the caterpillar and climber were probably more fun to play with anyway

[@theacceleracershub2904]

100%, it would have been cool to have the rocket socket, but the crawler and climber definitely were the most fun. I probably would have just wanted the rocket socket for looks
