I appreciate the amount of thought and engineering that went into creating this car. It is also very interesting to compare the DIY approach to the production 1:64 scale RC cars currently on the market.

If you want a little better traction, I would replace the tires with slot car tires and hubs. They are about the same size, and I think they would work well.

Real riders is a brand of hotwheels that have rubber tires. It started with red line. Now you can order tires for your favorite car.

[@jaredstockton743]

This is admirable good work. Persistence seemed to be the key to this build I’m sure with a lot of frustration considering it took two months. Very well done. It’s really a masterpiece. The fact that you took the time and managed to manipulate all those tiny parts and squeeze them in there is phenomenal. Hats off to you.

[@DJDevine]

Absolutely amazing vehicle build! I’m getting into the micro RC world for the winter. Now Turbo Racing you can buy 1:76 scale GTR’s with power and 30min battery life! I have a Mini Cooper on it’s way and intend on building up a little fleet and an amazing track layout! thanks for the inspiration! I’ve been flying FPV for 6 years, this will be a nice addition! I wish my HotWheels were remote controlled in my day! As they are now. 45 years ago I would have actually cleaned my room for one! Lol, cheers 🍻

[@aaronsabu2412]

Sick! I really wanted those things which is why I built my own. Maybe if you put an FPV cam on those turbo racing cars u can simulate a whole race with the racetrack. 🔥

I love this concept. Real question can it ride in the official tracks I wanna see it do a loop

Unfortunately it cant because i gave it a wider stance. If you dont mess with the wheelbase and width though, it will definitely run on official hotwheels tracks. Maybe u can make one and see if it can do loops 👍

[@vvildbill755]

That's awesome man, great work. I will say this though, theyve been making rc cars even smaller than this since i was little... i had one that would charge using the controller themselves... if you really wanna be impressive, make one out of a micro machine... i will say this though, this is the first hotwheel sized one ive seen with spring suspension... but still, nice work man, really, nice work. Definitely look into micro servos and motors, they sell them and they are like 1/4 the size of the ones you are using here. Hope to see more of these in the future, and smaller too.

[@aaronsabu2412]

Gotcha, thanks for the tips! Glad you enjoyed the video, and hopefully I’ll be able to build a smaller one in the future 👍
