- Welcome to my channel. Please like this video and subscribe to support my future work. In this video I will show you how to take your 1:64 diecast cars apart (disassemble) by removing rivets, how to make wheels swap and how to make threads for screws so you can easily put your car together. You can use this method or all brands of diecast cars, Hot Wheels, Majorette, Matchbox, Siku, Green Light etc. Drill and screws sizes are included in this video.
Also, in this video you will see what you can use as tubes for wheel axles. I will make demonstration of basic wheels swap.

I just started the 1/64 diecast toy car customization hobby and I have never seen a video that explains in explicit detail on how to swap out wheels by showing you how you need to creat new screw holes in place of the drilled out rivets until now. Thank you so much for making this video. A lot of the guys who customize diecast toy cars may think this stuff is self explanatory but someone like me who is a complete novice, this video really made a difference in understanding all the steps needed in order to replace or swap out new wheels on your car. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of your content! You definitely have a new subscriber in me!
Yes, I was in that group of guys too. I was thinking making screw holes is self explanatory, but it turned out, many beginners are confused with that practice. There are similar videos on TH-cam, but almost no one said which drill bits to use and which size of screws are they using. Of course, there are exceptions always, there will be situations when you will need to use bigger, or even smaller screws, but in this scale those situations are very rare.
@@WhattoRepair And for that I’m very grateful for the information you passed along. Thanks again and take care!
Great video, just don't forget to add oil to your drill bit by using a q-tip! ✌️❤️
Thanks for sharing this video👍👍👍
Thanks for visiting

Very nice film!
Great video. Best wishes
Thank you! You too!
Very good tips there, I have been gluing mine, but not happy with that. Gonna try screws instead, cleaner and more secure I imagine.
Yes, you are right. Another good side is that you can disassemble cars any time, change parts or make some other changes and assemble it again, very easy. If you can, try to find M2 tap for making threads, its even easier to make threads with tap than only with screw. I bought my taps on Aliexpress.
For axle tubes i use the rubber coating on coated paperclips. Same results and no need to use needles. Cheaper too!
I think that rubber coating is soft and flexible. Are wheels touching the fenders when you press the car from above? Needles are also very cheap. I can buy 55 needles for one USD in my local pharmacy store.
Good idea with syringe needle.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video
Thanks!
Nice tutorial, new sub here. And yes, my drill broke and is stuck in the post. So I just have to glue it, no problem ;-)
There are two solutions if your drill broke and stuck in the post. First, you can try to drill with another drill bit over that broken drill bit. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it's a mess and you destroy two or three drill bits until you grind broken one that stuck. I like more second solution. Cut entire post or grind it with some tools and glue insert nut on place where post was. Search on google "inset nut" if you dont know what is it. Of course, thread in nut must be same as your screw. You can also use some longer nuts instead of insert nuts, they are called coupling nuts.
That's a great solution! In that way you can still open the car. In this case that would be handy because it's a Majorette Sonicflasher so you have to replace every 20 or 30 years. Oh wait: by that time I will be 90 years old :-) Ok, then my son can do it. Thanks for the advise, and keep up the good work. @@WhattoRepair
Odlican video kao i obicno, jasan, precizan, pun korisnih informacija. Od pomoci i iskusnim majstorima, a pogotovo za pocetnike 👍
Samo 2 dodatka:
1-igla se moze iseci i nozem/skalperom - zasece se delimicno pa moze da se prelomi;
2-plasticni pinovi na sasiji ne moraju se seci, zagreje se malo upaljacem i izvuce stara osovina, a kada se stavi nova opet se malo zagreje i pritisnu na dole (odlicna fora i ne zahteva lepak)
Nadam se da se ne ljutis? 😁
Ma taman posla, što bih se ljutio. Slobodno piši kad god vidiš neki veći problem ili ako imaš neki savet. Igle sam pokušao da sečem skalpelom ali mnogo mi oštećuju noževe, čak i hirurški skalpel. I kad je načmem iskrivi se kod savijanja pa sam odustao. A zagrevanje isto izbegavam jer može doći do oštećenja osnove.

Excuse me but M2 screws, what kind of screws are they? 2mm long?
No, M2 screw has 2 milimeters outer thread diameter. This is metric screw or international standard screw, which is why the letter M stands in M2. M2 screws can have various lenght, lenght is not important. If you are using inches similar screw would be 5/64 or 3/32 inches.
Great Video. Thank you! What's the size of your syringe needle?
Hi, thanks. I'm using 18G needles, or 18 Gauge. Dimensions are international standard, outer diameter is 1.27 milimeters and inner diameter is 0.838 mm. Lower gauge number means bigger needle. You can see here in this table all needle sizes, so you can search other sizes if you need.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
Thank you.
You got a sub :)
hey i was wondering if you know an easy way to take out the tires of the hot wheels premiums cars since the thing that holds the set of tires is metal?
You can use some wire cutter pliers to cut those notches that holds the axle. If you are comfortable to work with power tools and you have dremel then you can use some grinding bits for dremel. But wire cutters do the work.
Hi. I tried this method today ( got tired of the thread making tool ) but the screw i use is maybe too soft... The threads wear off while screwing them in. Any suggestion what type of screws i should use ? Thank you in advance.
I never had such problems. You probably have some soft metal screws, aluminum or some soft iron alloy. Try to find steel screws. You can find them in most of hardware stores and in online stores. I use stainless steel screws. Stainless steel should be higher quality alloy and more durable than regular steel.
@@WhattoRepair Thank you. 😉
hey, i got a question
does the base stay if i just snap back it to the body to put it back together? i dont have any kind of sources rn
It can stay if you drill rivet carefuly so you dont remove entire rivet. But it doesnt stay strong, you can easy remove it with fingers any time. Best way is to drill a hole and make thread for screw.
@@WhattoRepair how do u make thread tho? like just screw it after drilling in and out?
Yes, I was making threads like this in the beginning, when I didn't had proper tools. It's the easiest way to screw in and out. Diecast metal is pretty soft and you can use screw to make a thread by screwing in and out. I'm using M2 screws for almost every car. You can find M2 screws in old CD-ROM, floppy drive and similar electronics, or you can buy it online. If you can order online you can buy M2 tap and make threads even more easily. M2 taps are very cheap, they cost 50 cents on Aliexpress, for example. I don't know where are you from and do you use metric system. In Europe we use metric system. M2 thread means that diameter of screw is 2 milimeters. Before making thread you must drill a pilot hole with a drill bit. Ideal drill bit for M2 thread is 1.6 milimeters, but I'm using 1.5 mm too and you can also make a thread successfully, but you must be little more careful not to break something, because if hole is smaller it will be harder to turn screw or tap. If you have any questions just ask and I will help you.
@@WhattoRepair yo dude thanks for taking ur time helping me out,.got it man thanks
Drop of glue
I'm looking to use a drill press instead of a hand drill.
What material you sprinkler after the glue the needle?
White powder is baking soda. (Bicarbonate soda) It cures super glue immediately.
You can see here in my video how it works th-cam.com/video/FNQSa3H_E1Q/w-d-xo.html
what size bit is at 4:05? to make the screw holes
This is 1.5mm drill bit, for M2 screws.
may i ask size of the syringe needle? thx
Needle size is 18 gauge needle. This is international standard. It has 1.27 mm outer diameter and 0.838 mm inner diameter. Axles on standard 1/64 cars like Hot Wheels or Matchbox are 0.8 mm diameter so it fits perfectly.
@@WhattoRepair thank you :)
Dear god, please warn about dangerosity; my hand stil have scar of a 4mm drill bit that slip into it :/ Recommend using at least heavy gloves, or mini vise to drill car.
Well, everyone needs to judge situation by his ability to handle with tools. Gloves and safety glasses are always recommended to use. I would not recommend to use mini vise in any way, you can easily damage your car. This hobby is not playing with cars, you can hurt yourself everywhere if you are not careful enough and people should be aware of this. This is not channel for kids and I think I don't need to warn people about every move I made. This is really low rotation speed and one of safest jobs while customizing cars. If someone doesn't feel comfortable to work with drills at this speed then they should not doing this.
@Julien R. no one in their right mind thinks this hobby isn't dangerous even if you're just using scissors. have your parents do the cutting for you if you want to pursue this hobby and if you can't take care of yourself. better yet, change to a different hobby if you're clumsy enough to injure yourself easily and if you're the type of person who always needs to be warned because they don't recognize which type of activities are dangerous and are not.
this may not be the right hobby for you. just saying.
6:52 what's powder?
It's baking soda. You can see here in my video how it works with super glue.

What is the powder you put on the glue?
Its baking soda. I have video about using baking soda with super glue. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/FNQSa3H_E1Q/w-d-xo.html
