I've found that you don't need to split the pegs holding the axle in but instead apply slight pressure from underneath on both sides it'll just pop out w/o damaging those holding pegs. I use a real thin precision type screwdriver since it doesn't take much to pop out.
Cool video. I usually use the small bit to start a pilot hole for tapping later. Then a 9/64 bit to pop the rivet. It’s slightly larger, but gives a clean pop on that rivet in most cases.
Did the exatc same swap a few months ago they fit like a glove on that car Just makes it perfect plus cant go wrong with 10spokes they look good on almost every casting
So happy to find someone share the same idea with me! I would like to ask if the same process appiles for die-cast chasis (so that we can have a premium level custom for this awsome model).
Yes I did experienced the drilling process especially because the base of Zonda is a bit...different. But I'm glad that I have perhaps the Ultimate Hot Wheels Zonda (well now the title goes to the NFT one I guess)@@DieCashCars
I feel like you should mention that you should practice on an unwanted casting first to get in some practice. Interesting. This casting was my favourite of 22 too. Didn’t know about the voting.
Very cool! I just got into wheel swapping about a month ago. I did great on a few without re-riveting, but have also messed up on a couple. A few questions and your tips would be greatly appreciated. Are those screws you used available at any hardware store? Do the axles from Mattel’s Real Riders fit the length for all HWs? I purchased a box of riders from elsewhere online and most of them don’t fit the length of the HWs. Keep up the great vids!
They might be available at a large hardware store, I got mine off Amazon. Like I showed in the video, you will have to check if the Hot Wheels axles will work on the cast you want to swap them onto…lengths aren’t all the same. Appreciate it 👍
I love your videos bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾 everytime
Thank you! I do what I can 👍
I think you just got me hooked on doing wheel swaps now. You’re a good teacher. Awesome video.

This info is GOLD! Thanks for sharing!
Really appreciate the video. Shows me yet another way how to get this process done as easily as possible. Thank you 😊
I also use a little bit of oil on the bit it helps the drilling part and makes your drill bit last longer
Interesting

That works too, may have to try that!
Super coo hot wheels top rader😊
Great vid. I swapped some black 5 spokes onto the zonda. Looks amazing.
Beautiful footage and thanks for sharing 😊
Man these cars are my favorite
Very tasteful swap, wouldn’t be surprised to see hot wheels release
an official premium version with the same real riders. 💪🏻
That looks awesome. Great job. I’m definitely gonna get glue and glue it back together. I don’t wanna have to go through all that…lol
That matte black is wicked looking!

Those wheels are perfect for this car!
🙏🙌
Great choice of wheels for sure that looks great!
great wheel swap. Those wheels are a perfect match
Thanks!

Premium castings are the same process, but expect more drilling as the metal base take a bit longer to free up from the body

Those look pretty cool! 😎
I dont recommended using sharp bit like that it is for wood. A standard drill bit works great and sits center of the rivet
I agree..awesome car

That’s good advice, definitely want to be comfortable drilling before doing it on nicer casts!
Did my first wheel swap on a Jesko last night i did good for my first time i believe but my bit cracked in half gotta get a better one.
Yea I’m on my 2-3 drill bit…bound to happen
Please give a tutorial to change the tiers without drilling
I think the white Zonda needs a wheel swap as well. imo the yellow spokes don't flow well on the white
Agreed, it’s on my chopping block now

If you push on the windshield, it’ll pop the base off most of the time; no need for screwdriver to pry
Good tip!
Do a video about the rlc exclusive that sold out instantly
Maybe, I was also unsuccessful getting one
Shoot I’m still glueing the base back on and I been customizing for a year lol
😂
So, these premium wheels are only meant for basic cars since premium cars have metal bases?
🤞😷🏁
Why doesnt mattel just put screws in the bottom?
That’s a good question
Because it's far cheaper and easier to mass produce cars when you can use a machine press to do thousands of rivets per minute
Try not using a wood drill bit
Good to know 👍👍
