Wow, it's amazing to watch a craftsman work his magic. Asking questions and seeing the answers from around you, guess you weren't preoccupied in class. Bravo. Thanks again. Waiting for more.
technique for adding "use" to slick tires: hold a foam sanding in one hand and a car in the other. Rub the car in a circular motion around the sanding block for about 3 to 4 minutes, and you will end up with that gritty matte look of slicks. Just a fan passing along tricks.
HAHA, I was watching another video and thinking about the car I am planning and this just occurred to me I came back here to comment but you got this covered a year ago lol
Awesome! Wonder if the modeling trick of sanding the tires (vinyl in this case) would create a more realistic rubber tire look? Or maybe you could slide a section of the vinyl tubing on a section of similar diameter pipe and put it in the lathe and then use a wire brush or wire comb (used for cleaning paint brushes) and scratch some light grooves on the outer edge of the vinyl. Well either way I dig the idea. KUTGW on these cool tutorials!
How about if you were to put it back on the lathe and gently bring a cutter in slowly as not to melt the vinyl. Thanks for the great videos and tutorials also. My other hobby is model railroading and I'm always scratchbuilding or kitbashing something to save on cost, keep the great videos coming.
To make tread you can take clay and flat it down . Then take a wheel that has tread and roll it on the clay . Than make a mold of it . Then you can heat the tire you made and roll it on the mold . Then let it cool .
I wonder if you could put treads on by using a flatten pen spring heating it up? Or perhaps heating a small hobby file rolling the tyre on that? Just a suggesting.
I've been trying this off and on for three weeks. I have the exact cutters and the same exact brand and size of tubing. It's Impossible. I think you mis spoke when you said the size of the tubing is 1/4". A bigger size is the only way this will work.
dear, baremetal my latest hotwheels project has been setback since the car I want to change wheels on has a metal bottom I can not cut the part that holds the axle if you know a way to cut it please tell me
+Nik Golič Not Really....... but of course not all Hot Wheels are "Real Riders". It will say on the "card" if it a "Real Rider" People like Buying them up....... snatching the wheels for their "customs"...... so they might "seem" rare in your area for that reason.

Man your one clever dude , love watching your vids
Maybe use a hot file a then run the tire across it to make a heat impression of the file for a tread like appearance. Cool tires!
Can you make a video on how to make hinges for doors, trunks and hoods, so that the doors open and close. Thanks keep up the great work.
Maybe use a file, heated and the tires rolled over it to add tread?

@Squirrel Killa I didn't see your comment about the file. Or I would not have written about it.
Wow. Thanks for the idea!
I've seen someone making treads by putting the wheels on lathe-like contraption, spinning them, and making parallel cuts with x-acto knife

That is so cool! Thanks for the information.
The Ratified was originally made for Acceleracers same with Iridium, RD-02 (Racing Drone), Rivited, etc. I still have the original movie cars.
Nice idea
great work
I will trade you
Thank you for that nice advice!
I will trade you

Nice idéa 👌Peace ✌️
Good stuff once again!
I have tried using a styrofoam cutter to make the tyre treading on the plastic wheels but it's of course it makes only straight lines.
Where do you get the rims?

I'm wondering if you can make a wide body kit for hot wheels
Where did you get the science lab stir thing?
Amazing! love this video
Nice!
Cool video bro
Hello.. How do you take hotwheel one piece tires and rim off the axles off the with out damage..thank you
HELP. Cant seem to find that specific hose. How else may I find it?
Hello is this 1/4” ID or OD ?? Thank you
Can you boil the tires in a pot?
I know I'm 10yrs too late but, why didn't you just put the rubber on the rim as you stretch it? With the scissors not by hand
Great Thing man!
Nice
Where did u get the wheels
Very clever!
Hey baremetalHW u should add the stuff you used in your description below
I just realized RUclips should have another selection above. There should be a '2 Thumbs selection."
very cool
dear, baremetal my latest hotwheels project has been setback since the car I want to change wheels on has a metal bottom I can not cut the part that holds the axle if you know a way to cut it please tell me
I just got some small lego tyres and stuck them in boiling water and then stretched them with tweezers and put them on a corgi 19 70s land rover
I will trade you
hey buddy no one wants to trade make your own custom thats why they are called CUSTOMS.
Where do you get the rims?
ya but can you ake the inside of the wheels
how do you make those rims in the first place?
Go to his channel and he has a video on how he made them.
How to make a wheels for my hot wheels Morris mini
Cool
How do you get the rims
He made them in a previous video.
I could make those for my Chevrolet Caprice and Crown Vic diecasts!!
Love it 😊
I just subscribe to your channel
What does even "Real Riders" even means like no plastic wheels??
+Nik Golič
"Real Riders" is what Hot Wheels calls their Rubber tired die-casts.
NinjaViking1 oh cool are they rare?
+Nik Golič
Not Really.......
but of course not all Hot Wheels are "Real Riders".
It will say on the "card" if it a "Real Rider"
People like Buying them up.......
snatching the wheels for their "customs"......
so they might "seem" rare in your area for that reason.
+NinjaViking1 well they are say thanks to Slovenia -.-
+Nik Golič
Slovenia?
what's that?
how about how to make a rim for HW.
Aimers-chito Macarubbo Right!
Aimers-chito Macarubbo how about look on the channel and find the first video
where did i buy the rim?
he make it himself you can wacht at make real riders part 1
Your a fucking genius
Make a hotwheel of cardboard
Dude its making it rubish...
for wat
