I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to pull outta this one, I don't have any spectraflame cars, and I'm too lazy to make my own
- Im new to this, all i did for my spectra flame was separate car, strip paint, chrome spray paint and a few layers of candy. Done within an hour. Ok, no detail but possible… obviously i dont know your time constraints. — RalphsRacers

Due to massive hurricane damage and no postal service, I have no clue if mine will arrive.
- All the best to you. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- No worries! The big question is, are you ok?!?! — epvideos_diecast_racing
- Yeah, all good. Just waiting on electricity and for all the roads to get cleared — Uncle_Elvis

I'm watching the videos for this event and was curious if it was ever posted in RLD. Finding it, I read the rules, I'm curious why tungsten putty is disavowed?
- I have never used tungsten putty but apparently it has a low melt point and can melt and ooze out and cause a mess. — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- EP can't stand it lol. I haven't used it much myself — ManiacMotorsports
- Tungsten putty melts pretty easily, and can gum up the wheels. R-Lo found this out the hard way after sending a car to 3DBotMaker, only to be largely embarrassed when his car failed to make it through the first corner due to tungsten putty melting into the wheelwells. 2D and 3D had a field day goofing on R-Lo about the car. — SpyDude
- Interestingly, though, if you create a 'seal' of hardened glue around the putty, that seems to protect it more from melting. I did that as a test with a couple of cars using Elmer's Glue, and it actually worked. — SpyDude
- I could see that working — ManiacMotorsports
- Huh, I've been lucky with tungsten putty I guess. What would be an alternative, then? I'm still noobish...... — BadWoolRacing

Use Blocks, tell them we sent you!
Putty melts into the wheels of cars, rendering them useless. If you find a way to seal the putty and it works I have no complaints, what I dont know wont kill me, but if it melts into your wheels it will kill your car. Just sayin!
- I don't think there are many hot wheels tungsten sources out there so they are who I've been using. — ManiacMotorsports
