What do you guys want me to make next? Let me know!

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Make something with “Thunder Roller” or “Highway Hauler”, 96 VW Drag Bus..49 Merc, 49 Ford COE.. just a suggestion. The last one as a custom hauler.

[@laska907]

1963 ford falcon please!!

[@xxalmightyxx2304]

Do the "Back to the future" Delorean with working suicid3 doors and rolling wheels,like when they get tucked under the car. Imagine that!!!!! Much respect from 🇵🇷💪🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@notaduramax4380]

What about a fc rx7 or some sort of Porsche

[@kadenmalone1027]

What about a base rc so you can magnet the body on to

[@thundercrowz]

You should do a drift session/compilation with all you’re mini rc drift cars! Also edit you should make a fc rx7 !

[@Faltaire]

Or an fd

How cool would it been if Hot Wheels actually did something like this. I always dreamed of that when I was a kid playing with them lol.

[@miker3174]

Get the RC hot wheels the Tesla cyber truck is crazy fast. My 4yo wants to swap the body's from his die cast cars lol. The Nissan RC one is pretty fast too. The cyber truck will stick to the walls of bathtub and do skateboard like tricks when it jumps out sometimes.

[@H0TWHEELS]

@@miker3174 Hi Mike that sounds fantastic. My son does not seem interested in Diecast cars only games lol. Thank you for the heads up I will look into that 😊

[@Tayl0r_]

I thought at some point in the early 2000’s or 2010’s, Hot Wheels *did* some sort of customization mechanic for the non-RC cars/wind up cars where you could change the body/shell. But thats it. :(

[@H0TWHEELS]

@@Tayl0r_ They did 😀😃🙂 it was a great start lol

[@IboPSUK]

I thought it was just me! I thought of the same thing when I was young

[@Zed32_Customs]

This is so cool!!! Truly a sleeper custom. Looks plain on the outside but holy hell its complex on the inside. The fact that it winks makes it 1000x better. It also wins cutest custom.

[@smallmodelcollector]

Magnificent! I loved my old Miata and never had the patience to build such a small RC.

[@dnbnetwork3531]

Had a good laugh when you sync the light opening with the beat,thanks for this good moment!I like the work,inspiring!

[@LTNGStrike17]

can we all just take a moment to appreciate how good TLS is at drifting tiny cars.

[@zubuxstein]

No, we are just appreating how quick the paint dried! 🤣🖕

[@adrianpolenok]

​@@zubuxsteinHe did not do it in one go you absolute piece of a moron

[@the_cleaner]

Slightly bigger wheels personally, think it would fill out the arches nicer and improve stance. Just my opinion, great build and love that red paintwork 👍

[@TLSGarage]

Yeah I agree. Its hard to find wheels just the right size for these builds in 1/64😅

[@user-gk2cg2th9h]

@@TLSGarage sla 3d printer with heat shrink is nice when painted

[@justmechanicthings]

I think that would hurt the turn radius of the front wheels though

[@cristiuup2101]

maybe but that will lower the turning radius because bigger wheels will decrease the steering angle

[@Viking8888]

That was pretty cool! A great video for anyone who loves RC and soldering projects. 👍👍

[@yolahola1]

Man, this is a really well made video and an even better made RC car. If I didn’t already have a Miata to spin out on public roads, I’d totally love a little RC version of this.

[@breakthecycle5238]

I used to race rc back in the 90s and it's insane you got all the electronics under the body at that scale. and that turn radius!

[@MKminiaturecarremodelingStudio]

The remodeling technology that no one can easily imitate is wonderful! I have been looking forward to it this time as well. I envy you!

[@stephensea4087]

Bruh! The detail on this is incredible. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't just watched it myself. That was epic! I'd love to watch more of these, although I'm sure that was an incredible amount of work.

[@aspectcarl]

I love this, looking forward to the build blog. Really interested in building a drift car at this size ❤️

[@TheBrozilla]

This has always been on my bucket list of things, dreamt of this since a little kid

[@mannysingh1358]

[@antoineatallah2639]

Amazing. Now you got me even more interested to make my own.

[@tehpunisher4568]

It's funny because yesterday I was wondering when you were going to upload again haha. Also absolutely stellar work again bro. I legit just wish I had the money, time, and skill to do this sort of stuff. Again SS+ build!

[@bobjackson6524]

Wow, This is the first bid ive seen of yours. Absolute class 👌 Going straight to the videos list now...💨.......

[@QldChickenPuncher]

Insane!! Nicely done, thankyou.

[@diecastify]

[@DarkKnight2845]

Incredible job, can't imagine the amount of effort put into it.

[@gonzalochervet8127]

everyone has already told you that the project is amazing, and that is true, but id like to also tell you that the presentation is very relaxing, love the colors you use for the background keep on the amazing work, i wish i could actually know at least 10% of whats going on inside there hahah

[@ProfessorOzone]

That is ridiculously creative. Loved watching it. Thank you.

[@christopherwebb1083]

You are a master at your craft sir....thoroughly enjoy the videos. Awesome concept to execution and video instruction is superb. Excellent musical taste to keep the watcher engaged! Love it!

[@shawng7902]

Its kinda insane, the detail on those bodies when you strip that huge glob of paint they spray on them. I have a Mustang GT drag car and a few others I've spent way more time on that I want to mention to recreate the older vehicles I have had. I couldn't believe the body detail. Every bit of it was there. Down to the body strip in the side moldings, everyone hated. The castings are amazing they they have to throw on enough paint for kids to not destroy them and it loses a ton of detail.

[@TLSGarage]

I have definitely noticed that; they look so bland, then you strip them and its amazing how much better they look!

​@@TLSGarage, what scale is this?

[@Kevin.Barbarino]

Every time someone shows a mx-5 I get tears in my eyes. Bought it about a year ago and I drove it only for 3 months until the engine got serious problems. Replaced the engine myself and when I started it the first time.... WELL burnt oil like crazy. Sad thing is I don't even remember how it drives but that is the risk when you buy a used engine. So I disassembled everything again and now I rebuild it from the ground up to messure everything correctly. Hopefully it drives after the second time and if not..... I'll do it a third time until it works. Keep up the great videos 🤞

[@Darksagan]

Just when I thought it couldnt get anymore fire. The garage everything was sick.

[@MessyBunGarage]

This is my first video of yours, and holy shit this is so cool. I wish I could buy this rc car from you. If I didn’t have the shakes like a 70year old man I would attempt to do this myself. But I loved it. Even down to the mini town it drifted through at the end. So cool and thoughtful. really loved the editing and even the music. Great video and I can’t wait to watch many more of them. Cheers!

[@SlickDiecast]

Beautifully done! Love your stuff.

[@TLSGarage]

Thanks bro!

[@fast97z24]

Wow. Talent doesn't quite cut what you have. I have absolutely blown away.

[@fastnff]

Every now and then I come across a video that makes me say "wow, pretty cool", but in your video, my mind is blown!!!! Your patience in putting this piece together is impressive bro!!!! Then I see you have made more than just the Miata!!!???? Have you made and STI yet????? If you are taking any requests, the STI needs to be on that list, any year would be great, but the newer one would be awesome, like 2017 and above. In any case keep up the great work dude! Plus that little garage/track you made to show off the the drifting skills, HELL YES!!!!! Super impressive!!!!!

[@TLSGarage]

Thanks for the kind words😁 I definitely want to do an STI soon!

How did you get it to wink, it's absolutely insane and I'm super curious, where do you get the parts that small?? Absolutely blown away by the craftsmanship!!

[@josiahdegroot5341]

Yo second on that question. Did you just disconnect the one side for effect?

[@lilmathbloodgangmemphis1349]

You should actually sell all of the parts you are using so others people can build them or you can sell them complete

[@Gitspiffy]

[@willrodriguez1032]

[@mikeEshroom]

I would paid a few hundred. even if I had to work on it to keep it working. my TLR 8ight XTE truggy and my TLR 8ight X nitro buggy I have to take it all the way a part ( even down to taking a part all 3 diffs. and changing the oil in the shocks) and rebuild after every race weekend.

This reminds me of RadioShack’s ZipZap RC cars from way back! You could upgrade the wheels, tires, motors and get shells for so many popular cars. Some with led headlights and taillights! Coolest toys ever I wish I still had my set.

[@geetarguy777]

You’re a wizard. I don’t think people understand that if Hotwheels knew how to cram all that in there that they’d have done it themselves loooong ago. Big ups for your ingenuity. As for suggestions, I drive a 2008 Canyon, but any mini off-roader would be beyond sick. I’m not the wizard thought so suspension could be iffy 😂
