    WOWWWW!!! Talk about Precision and Execution!! This project is from another universe and I think worth all the time spent on it! Definitely one of the most iconic 1/64 scale diecast builds ever made.. And I want to Thank you for using my wheels on this incredible piece of moving art. Keep killing it and inspiring all of us!!

    You are a damn pioneer of hot wheels customizing. I cant think of anyone else ever making working DRIVABLE tracks in 1/64. And the fab work on those driveshafts and the steering! The fact that this thing has enough torque to spin the wheels is crazy. And that it doesnt rip itself to pieces when it does. We really need like a 10 minute video of scale crawling with this thing. It looks like a blast to drive. Amazing, as always.

    Taking it to the next level, for sure! I restore vintage appliances, so I appreciate technicians with high dexterity and innovative prowess - this video here has surpassed my expectations by a considerable amount! I get random youtube recommendations for hot-wheels customs recently (I have no ideal why) but I truly did not expect anything close to as cool as this.
    I can only imagine that this rare skill-set you've developed for these hot-wheels customs will grant you a namesake that shall be remembered in the hot-wheels customs lore till the ends of time. Happy Holidays and god speed, fellow crafter.

    Absolutely MIND BLOWING! One thing I would suggest is, when showing it in operation, have it interact with common household items like parking beside a banana (for scale), climbing over a smartphone, driving through a toilet paper roll, etc. (Place it on top of the window sill of an actual jeep then zoom out so that the real jeep takes up as much of the video image as the model jeep did, to *REALLY* drive home just how small the model is.)

    I used to know a guy in Washington state, who would custom build a hotwheels car with custom paint.
    Then, seal it back up in its original packaging for return.
    Some lucky person somewhere got a 1 off Hotwheels car.

      Honestly I just grab whatever random metal/plastic scraps and tubes I have around. Mostly stuff from hobby lobby. The tubing is from a company called “K&S” but im not positive the sizes! I found the motor on ebay, you can find a lot of electronics by searching online for “dasmikro” and I sell a small amount of things on my website as well, but you can definitely get everything cheaper from china if youre willing to wait! (Aliexpress) overall cost for the Jeep alone was like maybe $100+ but if we include the radio/charger/tools/etc. possibly around $400. It really depends on how its built and what you already have!
