There are some more tools that I use for the build. I will list them completely once I do an inventory of all the tools.
For some reason, I am struggling with the steering. With very limited room, I cannot place the rotating servo in a position to have a good steering. The linkage that I came up with have all failed. As you can see from the video, the car would not turn right. It was only able to turn left. The servo turns fine, it's just when I turn right, the linkage "pull" on the steering arm and it looks like it it's pulling it up. When I turn left, the linkage pushes the steering arm so that's ok. I tried to make it similar to what other builders had done, but am unable to do so. The steering will have to be redesign altogether.
I was going to wrap heat shrink around the plastic wheels, but if I had done that, I would not be able to drift and do donuts with the car. It's actually much more fun to just have the car slide everywhere. It would be ideal to only wrap the plastic wheels with heat shrink if you want more control and if you only have a small area to drive the car.

I think your website is broken

[@rm22murphy55]

Thankyou do much for add in the stuff in the description This is so helpful thankyou so much!!!

[@mk_annan22]

This was purely incredible. If you didn't know, Hot Wheels uses to sell motorized cars in around the 1970s. It didn't have a transceiver, just the DC motor.

[@SlickDiecast]

Did not know that. That’s cool

[@ishraqmanjur9489]

Should have put the rc stuff under the body of an r32 because this thing is understeering like crazy 😆

[@MannequinOngaku]

A worm gear reduction would allow the motor to be elevated and centered along the chassis, and reduce the ratio since it seems to be spinning out at all times lol

[@SlickDiecast]

Definitely had been looking into some type of worm gear setup. The wheels are plastic so it spins easily. Having rubber wheels reduce the spinning significantly.

[@howswift]

Thats a great build

I love all your Hot Wheels builds. They are great. I want to ask, additionally can you add a suspension system to this hand made rc cars?

[@SlickDiecast]

Definitely can add suspension. I tried for one of my previous builds. The only thing is, I can only find stiff springs. I cannot find soft springs anywhere.

[@cankzlyar3388]

@@SlickDiecast thanks. Btw, I cannot find such small receiver which is cheap. Do you have a link for cheaper one?

[@SlickDiecast]

You can search for FlySky models. I believe they make some small receiver that will work for 1/64 scale and HO scale cars.

[@rickyautry6307]

I was always baffled why Mattel has not been doing this with Hot Wheels scale cars for years. I know they want to stay true to the Hot Wheels brand standard cars, but just like the Hot Wheels ID line, it could have been a separate thing. I saw they are coming out with a Hot Wheels RC Tesla Cyber truck, 1/10 and 1/64 and am very curious of the 1/64 scale model's RC quality like proportional steering, battery run time, etc

[@SlickDiecast]

Yeah, totally agree! The Cyber truck is amazing. Seen some review videos about it.

[@kevinfoltz668]

I am very interested in makeing one could you make a video with all the parts in the part list it looks like some don’t match the ones in the video

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Slick build.. I wonder.. what else can we use for steering. Have you found any smaller servos? Have you tried with a rubber tire to see if you can get it to grip?

[@colossalbigfoot256]

I found micro digital servos.. you should try with one of those. They use in 1/87.

[@SlickDiecast]

I have other videos with rubber wheels. Please provide a link to the servo you found. Thanks.

[@migueltorres4736]

My bro.. for the steering try the mini servo clips for a drone .. try stand the servo ..and print the arm ..to fit..I'm sure that will work..

[@SlickDiecast]

Thanks for the advice. Will look into that. If I could stand the servo, that would be easier, but due to limited space, the servo has to be flat on the base plate. It sucks because I seen other builders able to make it work, but for me, I am struggling.

If you make multiple ones can you run them together without them interfering with each other so I can race friends ?

[@SlickDiecast]

Yes! Once a receiver is bound to a remote, it will only communicate with that remote so there should not be any interference between each other.

You can use plastic sheets like styrene or delrin. You can cut and super glue together to make the front steering.

Your steering is really not realistic and that's why you're strugling with the wheel arches, the pivot point needs to be Closer the wheel and at this scale it would be really tricky but a virtual pivot point steering allows to fit the wheel in a space just a bit longer than the diagonale of the wheel.
