I know this isn't a "build" video, and I suck at tutorials which is why I generally don't do them lol. So this may not be your ideal video, and I completely understand.

[rudygarcia]

Thanks for the video. It's very useful and informative for those of us who are starting out with customizing.👍👍👍

[TheRealGraylocke]

Nice, 'How to' vids are good to do for those of us who are only just beginning in this hobby.

I was determined to figure this stuff out by myself, but a video like this would have saved me a few months of work--good thing the trial and error was fun. One slight "improvement" I might suggest is: If the axle stubs reach fairly close to the middle of the brass axle tube, only one notch needs to be cut in the center. Liquid (not gel) superglue (cyanoacrylate) will flow freely into the tube through the notch and lock the axles tight. I usually don't even have any nubs/bumps of excess glue to trim off the axle tube afterwards.
Keep doing tutorials. We can all learn something new, especially when there are many ways to accomplish the same goal. You might help someone on a tight budget solve a problem without just throwing money at it. Or inspire someone to take new chances on their builds.
BTW, I read somewhere that the arched plastic or metal on the chassis behind the wheels on Hot Wheels cars is to keep the axles from getting deformed when little kids push down too hard on their cars. It limits how far the axles can be bent. Makes sense to me. I pretty much always get rid of it using my belt sander.

Appreciated insight to the differing methods, clear explanation, half expected a white board and a pointer, lmao.

Take as long as you need to get that modification just right, Keith. I love your 'winging-it-reviews', I take notes the old fashion way (pen & paper) while watching these types of videos that you do. You always provide a shit-ton of really useful information for us novice diecast mechanics, keep up the great work buddy, I'm always looking forward to more of your videos, whatever it is?! Practice & patience makes perfect modified diecasts, the Outlaw way lol

Excellent video, very interesting and informative, thanks.

Awesome...I sometimes find new collectors in the stores and once talking end up at customs and how to what to use and so on ....I usually just send them to YouTube it's alot easier and hand them one of my own work RAOK customs I figure it gives them a visual goal. I've sold some pieces online but it's more of a satisfaction to give them away. Thanks for helping everyone better understand the amount of effort that goes into custom pieces.

The wheel swap makes a world of difference. I like your videos where you school us. The tips are invaluable. Thanks Keith for this 🍻

The car went from yeah, nice. To, Wow!!! Wheels, insane what a difference they make. Cheers

[DigbyCCeasar]

Seriously, glad you did this. I've recently taken this up as a hobby and wheel swaps are hands down the most difficult part to come to grips with for a n00b. Thanks!

[tonyhughesable]

Thanks for the tutorial, I've just ordered some replacement wheels and was intending to do a couple of customs on Matchbox superfast so this was very timely.

[kamikaze]

Appreciate you sharing your knowledge man. Good Stuff. PS I’m from back in the day. 55+ HotWheels, 60-70s Hot Rod Chopper Bicycles, HotRod Muscle Cars are here to stay.
