    Over the years there's been many Hot Wheels with really weird gimmicks, so in this video I wanted to go over all the most interesting ones I could possibly find! The fact that a simple hotwheel can be a fidget toy, a dice, a camera, or even a musical instrument is truly fascinating!
    I've already made a hotwheel video a while ago, and now that my content style has gotten a lot better I decided to give it a re-do. This time we are focusing specifically on the silly gimmicks, so there might be some repeats from my previous hotwheel video. Hope you enjoy 😁 Also I moved into a new house before recording the on-camera sections, so there's echoey audio and not the best lighting. I have big plans for awesome background sets in my new office, so stay tuned for that!

    Our very first RUclips videos were filled with a Hotwheels video racer. The part about it that frustrated me the most as a kid was the lack of storage, It could only record for a couple minutes. Everything else about it was awesome, even though the video quality wasn't that good it still provided a very unique perspective. It was like my childhood dream came to life and appeared in my local Target!

    I remember some of my childhood Hot Wheels collection having openable hoods to admire the engine. This was a feature that dates all the way back to 1968, when Hot Wheels first started. The chrome engines were either exposed or had a hood that you could open to admire it, just like a real car. Only problem is that the metal pegs holding the hood to the rest of the body were rather brittle and could easily break off, eventually losing the hood entirely. Nevertheless, this feature persisted in late '90s-early 2000s Hot Wheels castings before being discontinued all together in I believe 2006-2007.

      Opening goods were cut out for cost cutting. The extra part required extra tooling and metal, which cost extra money. A few cars still retain their pre-cost-cutting interiors, so when drilled apart they still have engines even if you cannot access them normally.

    I love your hot wheels videos. Such a breath of fresh air in a niche dominated by hard-core collectors (yes, me included).
    1:17 I have a Jet Threat 1.0 from 1970. It has a little hatch that can be opened to expose an orange turbine thingy! Its also all metal, so its ridiculously heavy.
    5:00 im sure you noticed, but the Whip Creamer 2 can also be used as a makeshift kazoo/whistle. It also has a predecessor called Whip Creamer which was released in the early 70s.
    6:55 yeah, the emoticar sucks. Generally just not the best design imo.
    7:30 The head that sticks out the top of Skull Shaker is actually a depiction of Larry Wood, the designer of the original Bone Shaker.
    10:30 carbonator is the goat of hot wheels gimmicks. They release a special one every new years so that you open definitely-not-beer with it.
    20:20 in all my years of collecting, i have literally never heard of the Speed Readerz. Props for digging up this relic of hot wheels history.
    20:45 i have found way to many of these at thrift stores. Not one had functioning lights.
    There are a few other castings with fun gimmicks that i can think of:
    Side Kick: weird sliding cockpit thing that is activated by pulling on the exhaust.
    The Heavyweights Series: a bunch of work trucks that were released in the early 70s, each with a unique moving feature. There is a commercial for them somewhere on youtube that emits dangerous levels of charm.
    ConVertAbles: odd series of cars that do weird things when put in hot water i guess. Idk, all of mine are broken.
    Ford Taurus Stocker: A red Nascar that was exclusive to the Ford Auto Assembly playset. It can be taken apart into 3 pieces, the base, body, and engine. Its extremely rare and obscure.
    Sizzlers: Motorized hot wheels! Some came with a huge bumper that is hilariously called the "Mouse Mustache".
    Circuit Crashers: Monster Trucks that explode when crashed!
    Crack-Ups: cars from the early 80s that have flipable panels that show damage when you crash into them.
    Tech Trax: very short lived series of cars that could bend in the middle and gave them a sort of suspension, or that was the idea anyways. They never really worked.
    Hot Wheels ID: Cars with micro chips in them so that you can download them into a racing game. Pretty short lived series as nobody cared about the game.
    Steering Rigs: Semi trucks that would turn the cab from a steering wheel mounted in the trailer. They're tricky to get the hang of, but satisfying when you do.
    Revealers: The cars themselves are dayglow and reek of the 80s, but they came wrapped in a paper that would supposedly dissolve when dipped in water. Also, the packaging would give you a Dairy Queen coupon for a free ice cream(expired in 1984). Get one and see if a DQ will let you redeem it.
    I cannot wait for the Color Shifters video!

      Oh no! There were even more examples that I had listed but it looks like youtube never posted the edit! I'll see if I can remember most of them.
      Top Speed / Solar Flares: Translucent plastic cars that can twist in the middle. Hot wheels said it made them better on the track, but they are actually way too lightweight, causing them to crash too easily.
      X-V Racers (1980s): Gyro powered stunt cars. Not much is really known about the operation of these cars even though they are fairly common.
      Motorized XV Racers (1990s): same concept as the Sizzlers cars, but lighter and faster.
      Scorchers: spring powered cars? Not exactly sure how these work, all of mine are broken.
      Power Command: Pull-back-n-go cars that can be locked in place, then launched by tapping on their rear spoiler.
      Shift Kickers: same concept as Power Command, but they are launched by "shifting" a lever on the top of the car.
      Mini Race Timers: micro-scale hot wheels that could be worn as a watch and displayed the time in their windshield.
      Flip-Outs: Cars with spring-loaded flippers on the bottom. When crashed they'll flip violently into the air.

    The fact the Video Racer is a camera on a 4x4 car chassis is giving me nostalgia from 2011. Still yet, i have it. However, i stopped using a local PC because i was bored and forgot that the Video Racer still was there. Yet its still old in 2011 but i found a resource on Amazon, and yeah i have it.

    Seeing the Rumblers made me nostalgic and reminded me also of Crashers, Modifighters, Rev-Ups and Maniacs (that electronic toy with the dude you can make him vomit). Also the Super Slammers, Micromagnetics and Custom Motors (and other gimmicks with the Monster Jam subline). There is probably enough ground to cover for a part 2.

    I think the Hot Wheels Brick Rides are quite an awesome concept! I have two and sometimes have minifigures ride them.
    I recently got three Loopster cars from the 2024 series and the couplers are actually backwards if you want the Loco Motorin or Thomas trains to pull them.
    I remember kinda wanting the Video Racer back in the day to make it ride model and toy trains. It was released before GoPros caught on.
    I can't believe you forgot Turbo Driver! It's a USB game controller that uses Car-tridges that are the cars that appear within the online game (which was shut down in 2010). My Mom bought one to give to Toys For Tots, but it just sat in our basement closet for years.

    @maniacpumpkin6031 3 месяца назад

    There's actually a ton of different gimmicks back in the day that Hot Wheels had done. One's that I seek out at flea markets are Crack Ups from 1985-1987. They were hot wheels with panels, hoods, or tailgates that would flip around when hit to reveal damaged counterparts. So, you can reenact derbies with them. You also can't forget the Sizzler line in 1970-1978 I believe and later released Sizzlers II. These cars had motors and could be charged using a gas pump shaped charger and would fly down the tracks. They also had the RRRumblers line, which were Motorcycles that had a transparent or thin car frame underneath so they can still be used on the track but can be separated to be displayed as the motorcycle itself.
    I don't know what the line was called, but they were literally dolls with roller skates. The skates were basically a small frame with four wheels and was made by Mattel, but considering they're super rare, I don't know much on them.
    A new line that I had collected as a kid was the Rapid Transit line. A two pack, including a hot wheel sized train and its respective train car that could be connected like the Loopster you mentioned in the video.
    Also, a majority of the vintage Redlines had various features themselves, like the Sidekick had the seat slide out the side, most of the Heavy Weights had cool features, and many others. Although most of these are hard to get to very expensive to buy.

  • @samuelpierce2.088

    I have a three-way tie for my favorite gimmick cars:
    The first are the Turbo Glo series of cars released around 2006, which were basic rechargeable electric cars that had underglow-style lights in the base of the cars. They got a few of their own track sets as well (though the second one, Street Duel, seems to be much rarer than the Turbo Tunnel set) before being canned in 2007.
    It would be nice to see them brought back, preferably with the ability to change the color of the lights via some sort of remote.
    The second is the Rumblers series from 2008, which were already covered in this video.
    Admittedly, it would’ve been nice if these particular vehicles were fully compatible with regular Hot Wheels track sets (they required their own dedicated track sets to be used correctly), but otherwise the gimmick of having oversized engines that shook and glowed red when rolled was a fun distraction.
    The third and final series are the Tech Trax series of cars released only in 2004. The gimmick of these cars were that they had both special functions - some could twist on an axis, others could bend in the center - and were customizable; More specifically, you could take apart the cars and add or remove small metal weights that changed how the car performed on the track based on weight distribution.
    This weight distribution gimmick worked in tandem with the Tech Trax track sets (it was basically an attempt by Hot Wheels to imagine what a futuristic, highly customizable version of their Hot Wheels tracks would look like some time down the line), which itself featured a bunch of customizable track pieces and gimmicks, to create a super advanced version of the Hot Wheels cars and track system we were already familiar with.
    Sadly, much like the rest of the gimmicks I’ve already listed, this series was dropped in early 2005, and a lot of its later concepts were cannibalized into the Acceleracers series.
    And out of all the gimmicks I’ve listed, this is the one I wish Mattel/Hot Wheels would bring back, even if only for older/adult collectors and fans. It just has so much potential that it feels like a crime that said potential is just being left on the table.

    Im surprised you didnt cover the Roboriders line! Was a 2002-2003 time piece, where they literally had little robot figures, fully posable, that mounted onto car bases. Came with weapons and parts to transform them, sort of, into cars! Heck, they had their own tracks and even a movie! I saw the vhs of it at an antique mall a few years ago, still kicking myself for not buying that weird find.

    Things you didn’t mention:
    Crashers and their derivations, from magnetic flipping panels to the entire car crumpling to the car using a spring to do a crazy flip on impact. (almost as much history as color shifters).
    Hi Rakers, old gimmick series with an adjustable rear axle that can hike up the rear of the car.
    Flip outs, another old gimmick series that have a special switch on the bottom that releases a spring mechanism to flip the cars off one track and onto another (hopefully).
    Extreme Shoxx, off-roaders with a screw on top that allows their suspension to be tightened/softened.
    Slammers, like extreme shoxx but slam cars instead.
    Ballistics, cars that are like bakugans and can roll around and be launched as a ball then open into a hotwheels car.
    Torpedoes, cars with ultra narrow bodies but regular axles that allow them to go very fast.
    Screamers, cars with special wheels designed to “scream” when they ran down the tracks.
    And iD, cars with scannable bases to be used in the iD app.
    With all that being said, I have completely made up and fabricated exactly one of these series. Good luck.
