Hot Wheels Real Rider wheel swaps❗️

What's up Boys!🤘🏽
In this video I show how I do my real riders swaps on my Hot Wheels. Here is the list of EVERYTHING I used in this video.

First off are the tools and materials:
3/8" Cordless Drill
9/64" Drill Bit
1/8" Drill Bit
#50 Drill Bit
2-56 Tap
T-Handle to hold the Tap
#2-56 x 1/8" machine screw
Small Flat Head screw driver
Wire cutters (snips)

To make my custom axles I use:
Brass Rod size 0.032
1/8" punch
Hammer
(I like to use a needle nose as a metal base to smash the ends of the wire)

Here are the Castings I use for the video:
-Custom '56 Ford pick up Truck that is a Kmart color exclusive variation from 2017
-Datsun Bluebird 510 from the 2016 car culture Track day series
-'83 Chevy Silverado Walmart color exclusive from 2011
-Nissan Skyline R34 regular treasure hunt from 2007

Here are the Real Riders I use for my wheel swaps:
Wheels for the '56 ford pick up truck are Real Riders from the '71 Ford Ranchero from the 2016 Car Culture Trucks series.
Wheels for the Datsun Bluebird 510 are from the Ghostbusters ecto-1 & ecto-1a two pack twin set from 2016.
Wheels for the '83 Chevy Silverado are from the Bubble Gunner from the 2015 real rider heritage series.
Wheels for the Nissan Skyline are from the '12 Camaro from the 2016 Forza Motorsports series.

⚠️IMPORTANT NOTES TO REMEMBER!!
This is NOT a How To Video. This is a video showing you how I do my real rider wheel swaps on my Hot Wheels. I've been using and tools and power tools for YEARS! I'm comfortable in the way I use my tools but Safety is ALWAYS first in my work area!
Use hand tools and power tools safely. If you're going to try this, make sure you use a protective mat over your table, rest the hot wheels casting on the mat and drill the rivets drilling straight down towards the mat. Never drill hot wheels while holding them in your hand. The drill bit may slip or break and you can hurt yourself. Trust me, IT HURTS! That is not fun. Also, use safety glasses. I do, you should too.

I really like your peaceful voice I can watch this with my son while I'm trying to put him to sleep and no one's yelling at me or playing obnoxious club music. I enjoy Jakarta diecast project as well but I appreciate your narration of the steps thank you for your videos

Thanks for sharing bro, it's people like you that help make a difference in the world by sharing information.

By the way, the trucks look sweet with those real riders on them.

I had the original Hot Wheels cars back in 68. I discovered some had larger wheels/tires, so I put the bigger ones on the back of my Camaro, and the 36 Ford coupe. LOL! Now I'm doing that with real cars. Cool video.

Greetings from Switzerland although I am from California. It's nice to find someone who has my same taste in Hot Wheels. I love your videos keep them coming you're doing a great job.

[abrahamflores]

I really liked how you explained the process. All the gavachos teach everything but how to put back and not break when your using the or doing the drill bit process

[johnboehm]

This is the best Hot Wheels video I have seen. Excellent presentation, LOVE that you show details on all you use. Very, very well done. Thank you.

[liptonius.mp]

Thank you for making these videos! I really enjoy how you have explained this so very very well and properly and I was waiting to find a tutorial video of how people do this!

[dionysislarson]

7:00 mark. If the metal is Pewter or Zinc, you can probably heat it up enough with a soldering iron to bend them and keep the base intact.

[gstang]

Awesome tutorial!  Love the information on the music wire to make your own axles.  Thank you for sharing!
