I'm a kid at heart so I like a car that rolls, I also cut the cards ( carefully) for my Hot Wheels cars and keep them in a file. Lately I have gone for the Hot Wheels ID models then I have a nest for my fancy ( to me) cars. Static cars would be great for diorama displays. But I am an old goat and grew up with my vintage Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars, and I've been a model builder since I've been a lad, so I think that you need to do what makes you happy. It's a great hobby and it's a lot of fun to whip my friends and my kids on my drag race course, Or my old double lane HW race track from the early 1970s. I love your channel! found you from watching 3dbotmaker great channel!
Great video.. indeed for me, it's a dealbreaker if they don't roll, can't understand how these companies come up with such nice models at very high price point and don't care to make something so crucial for a car, to roll, on their models. Thanks for the great video... Would love for you to do the same but to validate which brands have a true 1/64 scale...
I have to think that most collector grade brands are striving for visual appeal rather than dynamic appeal. Seeing as the market is more than likely for an older crowd (14+) that won't be "rolling the cars around making vroom vroom sounds" they tend to make it static and allow for more of a display presence. Same for 43 and 18 scale collector grade stuff most of the time. Every now and then, brands will make the roll. The talk about true 64 is actually on the list!
@@AspectLegend1 no, they mainly use my figures and diorama. They use hot wheels because those roll. Most collector grade model cars do not roll except the couple displayed in this video.
I think for some adult collectors, the idea of playing with them is no longer the priority when it comes to collector grade model cars. It's more about displaying them efficiently and boldly and making sure the details are on point.
I remember being disappointed when I got my first Inno64 because it didnt roll. But i get annoyed at the rolling miniGT’s when I try to display them because they roll from their position…
I prefer them not to roll. It prevents accidents plus confirmation that it's not a toy.. My boys have loads of Hotwheels and they are great to give them a introduction to cars and learn the difference between the cars. Hotwheels must roll but as for my models they only sit still.
No roll = lazy manufacturing\design... FAIL, like having a trophy wife that never puts out. Sold ALL of my tarmac works\inno's etc. Of course, everyone's opinion is different, and thats fine. My take on it is that rolling is a basic requirement for a CAR model, its not like we're expecting an airplane diecast to fly (even they roll :D, i have a few pacmin\gemini). To each their own, but for me... its a must. edit: if they have suspension too, thats the holy grail. Peako came close with the mr2 that i have, it does roll, just not 100% smooth. Tomytec on the other hand... I'm heavily into them atm, they have it all, just wish they came out with more modern vehicles.
TomyTec only specializes in nostalgic Japanese vehicles. You don't get any of the "fun" cars with that brand unfortunately. However, their quality, precision and loyalty to the car maker is next to none.
I like to put my scale models in a modified treatmill and make them roll or going sideways in a drift , so static version are good lookin, but i like see them in action :D
Customs should definitely roll. However, as mentioned, you can get them all to roll if you wanted. Especially if a brand has a make and model you like but doesn't roll, time to make it roll!
@@modelcarshouston Ok. But If I’m paying more money for a custom looking Exotic or JDM, I want the car to ROLL! If I have to fix the problem then I can make the car custom myself for far less. This is about more custom collectibles that not only look good but roll. Kids aren’t going to play with these cars but they still MUST ROLL!
Thank you for this video, now i know which particular brand to avoid. True, some brands are very attention to detail but i prefer my choice of brands that rolls on track, is a bit disappointing about some of them because i was truly amazed by their intricate design and features, but it just doesn't feel right when you have a diecast but stagnant.
I recently opened my tarmac global 64 pagani huayra r and i was surprised with their insanely smooth spinning wheels they are improving on their newer models great video but could you do a video on which display garage or parking lot that is great for display for 1:64 models?
@@FallenPhantom0 Oh right, can't believe I forgot about that one. That one's like from a few years ago where the quality isn't as good as the more recent ones. They were also experimenting with detachable parts too at that time, but due to panel gap issues (it's imperfect on some units), they ditched it.
@@modelcarshouston that;s not only the wheels, bt the body, too. Besides, it always feels extra good when you snap a photo of a moving car precisely in right time :)
Haha, this was just for purposes of showing which brands roll and which do not. Our buddies over at @3DbotMaker has it down for that and many other channels!
When it comes to collector grade, the fitment is a lot better than say Hot wheels or Matchbox. You can also customize the wheels for further fitment enhancement as well!
@@SquidCena if they were a toy the price would be much smaller, a dollar at the very least. also if they were a toy *T H E I R W H E E L S W O U L D R O L L*

i do my best to avoid models that dont roll. i dont play with my models at all but something just doesnt feel right for me when a model cant roll
Certainly. I think perhaps it is contributed to the years and years of hot wheels and matchbox? Haha
@@modelcarshouston no, it's because it has wheels
@@seismic6435 that would be the obvious reason, yes ;)
Same here
Toy cars wheels don't roll, don't feel like a toy cars conventionally.
Like collectibles statues or 3D prints for display use, no moving parts.

@@AspectLegend1 no, they mainly use my figures and diorama. They use hot wheels because those roll. Most collector grade model cars do not roll except the couple displayed in this video.
For me, it doesn't matter if it rolls or if it's a static model. As long as it looks good and is properly displayed, that's all that matters.
Same. At this level of collecting, for me anyway, I'm over the concept of rolling.
Roll ftw always. Whats the point of not being able to play with them?? If i want display ill buy 1/18 scale

Btw global64 from tarmac works do roll but hobby64 do not

For sure. With the displays they have nowadays, you can make a static car look like it's moving!
They should all Roll as standard for the price 💯
We are adults, we don't need to play with these like toys.
@Model Cars Houston doesn't matter adults or not i want my wheels to spin its a car like buying Fidget spinner that doesn't spin.😂🤘🏾
Both works fine for me as long as the make and model fits the bill!
Yes!!!
역시 미니GT가 바퀴롤링과 바디디테일 두가지를 다 갖췄네요 .. 아직 구매해보지 못한 미니GT...
I think you should also include the global 64
Yes, I missed this one.
I already knew from the start what brand is rolling and not. But still i watched your video. Damn..
Thank you!

Excelente información para los que se saltaron etapas de la infancia
Gracias!
Nice!
Thanks
Its always fun to roll a Corgi or Tomytec on a fresh open.
I am more interested in taking photos, so I prefer those that roll at least a bit to be able to create motion shots.)
Couldn't you photoshop the motion blur for BG and make it look like the wheels are spinning?
@@modelcarshouston that;s not only the wheels, bt the body, too. Besides, it always feels extra good when you snap a photo of a moving car precisely in right time :)
Some tarmac models dont roll cause i have some tarmac models and they roll very well
Me if it rolls its a plus but I'm like you either way it doesn't matter. I don't play with my models. I like to take photos or videos of them.
Prefer rolling and no opening parts.
Word!
How about time micro or time model sir?
No sir, also check out this video here:
th-cam.com/video/Ym9Bj17iNPA/w-d-xo.html
How about poprace, does it roll?
They do! This video was done before Pop Race was available.
@@modelcarshoustonthanks bro
I like how he said we have all the major brands of 1:64 diecast for this test but only has 8 😂. Nowhere even close to having all the major brands! 😂
What major brands are missing that are collector grade level?
@@modelcarshouston Pop Race, Para64 and Norev
Inno64 wheels actually CAN roll but they are utterly stiff, the more you roll the wheels the easier you can roll the wheels
Break em IN!
You should do more Racing
Haha, this was just for purposes of showing which brands roll and which do not.
Our buddies over at @3DbotMaker has it down for that and many other channels!
Cars need to roll, period. I only display and sometimes it works against me, but I will always be upset at any car that doesn't roll.
model that rolls
There you go!
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
Simply put this. If you have a rolling model u won’t have nice fitment on the model, no rolling model is the best because it has nicer fitment.
When it comes to collector grade, the fitment is a lot better than say Hot wheels or Matchbox. You can also customize the wheels for further fitment enhancement as well!
...just modify them yourself.
@@seismic6435 absolutely!
honestly i wouldn’t mind if they don’t roll, most of these are meant to be displayed and sit on a shelf, they’re not a toy
absolutely correct!
Wrong, they are a toy.

tarmac doesnt roll😂?
Bro where's the mini gt
That GR Supra in HKS livery is a Mini GT.
Makes no much difference too me. They are for display only.
No American car models whatsoever
Not in this channel, you should create one! ;)
Rolling is not realistic since tires have flat spots. Go try and push a real car. It won't roll like a Hot Wheels either.
Haha that is a really good point as well!
You put your car on a slope it will roll.. easily. Now the same thing can’t be said for static models.
It won't roll like a hot wheel unless you put it in neutral and a truck rams it.
Thanks for showing off the absolute trash that is considered collectable.
You ok?
@@modelcarshouston just fine, is there some misunderstanding? I gave your video a thumbs up. I also said thanks,
Wear did you get the shorty track i want one too
Amazon prime I believe?!
Thanks guys
I'd prefer rolling than static, but when it comes to static wheels i do wheelswap them instantly
That is definitely an option.
Rolling
yes sir!
