Hot Wheels World Race
I put one in the mail today, due to arrive the 13th. I had a second one but ran into some wheel problems...and after sending an axle a quarter inch into my thumb, ran out of enthusasium.
My entry might be the most unexpected in appearance and construction: open wheel and light at only 48.6g. Not a lot of space inside for weight. Maybe not a contender, but hopefully fun for you guys to bounce around. Watch out though, it bites.
No pictures till race day ;)
Cars are coming from AZ! 1st attempt was a Greased Gremlin fail. I'm very happy with what came together .
Oh, I should give a shot out to Traction Event as I'm entering the Truck-O-Rama mod he entered and didn't want returned :) Recycling! So if that truck happens to win, we'll split the pot. My other entry is just a stock I had laying and want to see how it does...Pharonox.
- Is that the blue FTE Pharodox? — JDC442
- Check eBay, before you rip it open.... — Traction-Event
- And...that truck was pretty good. If I remember correctly — Traction-Event
- It's not FTE but they still seem like they could be fast w/ metal base — redlinederby

- Looks like you have more JLs than I do! — FOTF
- Woah...nice purple! Those are speedy castings too. — redlinederby
- Sweet ride Daniel -gorgeous paint! JL Camaro in the background? — JDC442
- JL Challenger I believe, or maybe Cuda. Little help from the Mopar guys? — delta6
- Killer purple!!! — Traction-Event
- Looks like a Jolly Rancher up close! :-) — delta6
- I was thinking it was a Camaro at first (maybe a '68), but you're right, it looks kind of like a 'Cuda. — FOTF
Looks like a great group of racers in this one. Haven't heard anything from Chevy C10 -is he not in on this one? If so he's missing out.
I've never raced in a contact-event before, hope my cars are tough enough to survive the potential crunch fest. I'm sure there'll be some gold paint on my fenders when this one's said and done ; )
- Agreed, open track racing will throw us all a curve ball... heck that gold paint could be on your roof... :) — Traction-Event
- I can't wait to see that camper rip! — everlings
- I totally didn't pick cars based on open road durability, should be interesting — redlinederby
I hope my cars are as fast down the track as they are traveling across the country. Dropped off at USPS Tuesday at 4:11 and currently in Canton, Connecticut to be delivered tomorrow!
The new mail service vehicles must be on FTE's.
Received a stack of boxes today!
Confirmed Redlinederby, JDC, Traction Event, FOTF and CCRider. Looks like a very competitive bunch, can't wait for the action!
- Thanks for the update... nothing cooler than getting cars in the mail... — Traction-Event
- Cool! This is going to be one for the records men! — JDC442
Also a J. Baker also just arrived with some sleek mods
I have my label printed and every thing boxed and taped shut just gotta get it in the mail. Sheesh them easy chairs are easy to grow roots in.
