Description

My first work into Hotwheels mods.  A coworker showed me some of the old very used Hotwheels cars that he had modified.  My thought went to what could I print.  For $1 I bought a mystery car to see how it would go.  This one just looked like it needed to be lifted.  The tires are press fit to the original wheels and the chassis is glued to the original car.  

 

Being plastic bodied, I used a drill bit by hand to remove the rivet head and separate the parts.  carefully using a utility knife and small screw driver I opened the crimps and removed the axles from the chassis. With the axles out I glued the car back together.  Glued the chassis print to the bottom of the car and let it dry.  Then I glued the axles into the bottom of the chassis print. (I used Gorilla clear glue gel)  It sticks things together well.

 

The tires fit ½" diameter wheels and have an OD of ¾".  The wheel base was lengthened slightly so the wheels lined up with the fenders.

 

I included the original solidworks files and step files.

 

Happy moding
