Product Information

While some smaller scale RC cars can be duds with poor driveability, I’m fairly impressed by the performance and quality of these new RC cars and am excited to see where this new RC tech takes us Hot Wheels fans in 2021.

I cut up 0.5mm thin aluminium box sections 25mm wide on most cars which is easily cut ground and shaped but some die cast models are only 23mm wide inside the body. You can also remove the headlights and rear lights using a modeling drill. These will be used to expose the RC receivers and transmitters later. NOTE the die cast vehicle wheelbase often determines the battery size you can fit between the wheels.Note that 4 (or more) receivers can bind to the one transmitter if all done at the one time together (most other 2.4ghz brands will do this also) SPEKTRUM compatible ... Other people have used the smaller size ....... 5-7 channel receivers for these tight spaces and good if you have a Spektrum TX (or Taranis with external Spektrum module) so you could drive 3 cars all with separate steering and throttles or 6 cars with all their steering working full time (WHY drive 6 cars you ask ... because we can These 1/64th-ish scale RC cars aren’t the first RC cars in Hot Wheels history. There were a few differently-scaled Hot Wheels RC cars throughout the early and mid 2000s. Some of them were large, some were near 1/64th scale — but none seemed as finessed as these new versions.

Read the conversion instructions under the this video at YouTube called ... PZ15320 drive servo conversion slideshow. This axil will allow the separate gear under the last output shaft to spin freely as it originally did and it should not drag on the trim pot or bind on the 3 servo cases if all is aligned correctly. The teams from Hot Wheels and Matchbox have given us some awesome products over the year (like the Matchbox Retro Service Center and the Hot Wheels Spy Racers Command Hauler) and one of the newest creations is the Hot Wheels RC car line. Perfect attention to alignment and avoiding binding is not easy and I don't recommend it unless you are very patient and accurate. I heated pieces of rubber fuel line in boiling water and slipped them over plastic grommets or tubes which I then spun up in a drill and dremeled off the wheel widths as needed.

Now replace the circuit board on an angle in beside the axil inside the servo and cut a hole in the lower servo case as it will be very limited for space now and need an extra 1-2mm space then tape over the lower servo case hole. With all these in hand, we can now get on with the build. Step 1: Select your victim "Hot Wheels" car For this build, the creator is using a 1/64 scale Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, but you can use any other similar car. With your victim car selected, you can then move on to modifying it into your own mini-RC car. Step 2: Prepare the model car for the build To remove the bodies simply drill out the rivet heads holding it to the chassis then grind off all unnecessary metal tabs inside the bodies which clutters up the space.
