Can also use a manual drill or anything to bore through and drill down the center (just until the level of the base, creating a wider concave) that way the edges thin out, then you can use a small flat head screwdriver to nudge the sides inward. The thinner it is, the easier to push. And lessen the damage as well.

Never thought you could open one using a screwdriver I used to think only the company can open them, Great vid thanks!

Love how u make it short and simple. Straight to it! Thank you so much!

Disassemble the car ❌ Do irreversible damage to the base ✅ Hurt your own hand ✅

Its funny how I discovered this in a fit of frustration. Although some may think so, i dont think the damage is terrible. It's easily fixed with some putty and a thin dowel to keep the screw clear. And if people customize, they end up sanding down the chassis to some extent. Cool vid.

Extremely helpful!! I was looking for a video to open them with a screwdriver Your just Earned a sub

Ive watched this many times this is extremely helpful

I HAVE THE EXACT SCREWDRIVER KIT AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS THANK YOU🙏

Excellent demo & even-handed presentation.

this is cool and helpful but the only real way to get the base to stay is to drill pilot holes for screws to hold it back together… thus making the method a little pointless if you’re gonna need a drill anyways no hate just my opinion still useful tho!

Ive been surfing youtube all week to figure this out thanks so much!

thanks a lot, now i will try to paint the car with some montana cans and lower it... camber i think it's called, thanks for the video

How to destroy your base in 30 seconds……. Just use a soldering iron, much cleaner

Bro tysm ive always thought i needed a drill or heatgun

This is so smart I’m gonna try this now

Just smash it on the ground, that always works 😂

You're my hero big thanks to him

Legend for this

Use JB weld to secure the car back to its base 😏

Now we need to see you make a build with life hacks/easier way

Oooooo yes thank you for this and now im gonna make my car a JDM EHEHHEHEHE

I tried doing it on my hotwheels and matchbox but it doesn't work whats screwdriver do u use i have a few of them in one pack and i jave glue for the car

Thank you so much I subscribe

Can u do that on a majorette sonic fashers?

good tutorial, works very well!

thanks a lot man! this helped a ton!

Thank you for sharing but it work for some old car and some not

Ah... has you were talking, I was wondering if you would damage your base. I guess if you don't have a drill at least you have options. Thanks for sharing. Have an awesome day! From HWFAH (Stunts, Jumps, Flips, Corkscrews, Railslides and Collections)

Helped alot

This is a good video but after we customize the car, how do we put it back safe?

Time to use the tools my dad uses for this

thanks!

Ty for this vid i love it

use with a Tablecloth, it keeps your car from getting scratches 😊

It helped a lot thanks but it does take lots of Time

This works but not for every matchbox type car, the ones with both metal bodies and bases are much harder to pry open.

geniusssss

BRO then what do you use to reassemble the car

This actually helped thanks alot

Its so hard bcuz im doing in camaro ss can you do in camaro ss?

Pov: your hotwheels bottom is metal (T_T)

Realy realy realy Thanks

how do you keep it from falling apart

Now my question is, how do we replace it without it failing out all the time?

How are u able do reamove the base so eassily

I mean it works if you don't mind a torn up chassis...

I can’t do this with hot wheels, there is no dip around the rivot for me to lever out the metal edges

The ring suppose to come out or I have dig it down?

And how do I put it together again?

"Ow,"😂

I have a stubborn hood on a mr2 any suggestions besides a xacto knive. I don't want to scratch the paint on hood, thank you.

And you put it back together how?

Very bad way to open them. For simple wheel swaps when you first start out this is a good idea, but eventually you will need a drill/Dremel. Thanks for the tutorial though!

Thank you

thx alot ima suscribe

Thank u some much

noice

Replying to every comment great dedication and very helpful In all categories

But how do you put the shell back on the car

Thank god. I found a neat looking Dodge Dart at the store with the ugliest wheels I've ever seen.

So how do I put the hot wheel car back together

How do i close it after painting

i might as well use aa drill instead of this technique beacause it does not hurt the car

can this be used for my hw cars that have bent wheels? (i.e when i make the wheels roll they go right and left)

pocket rocket 😳

One time i accidentally broke one of my favorite tomica cars and heres the story i was playing on the bed of my grandma and grandpas house just normally playing with my cars and my parents were just talking with my gran and gramp Like the normally do and i had this big 6-7 story parking lot and you could slide cars down from the ramp of the roof and as a kid i used to simulate an earthquake i would topple the parking lot down so it would technically just glop onto the bed it was then when i realized i had broke the base of a nissan wingroad tomica car and the i was like …. OH NO and that was is i threw it and never played with it again i do still have the body though but i still look for the car to this day Press F to pay respect to my fingers pls

One important question-then how to close it??

do you just glue them back on?

How to put in on the body again

so easy

I found a wayyy easier way to remove the shell off without a drill or somethin..😂

How do i get it back?

Does it also work for metal base hotwheels as well?

What flat head are you using?

Out of everyone I get bad luck I can’t pry mine open on the rivit

Can u put it back

yeah but now it just falls apart haha there is better ways to do it using a drill you drill out the river but you creat a base for a screw so you can screw it back together again and you do not damage the plastic

How do i put it back

Ok now after its open how to close it i am stuck at that i cant fix it pls help

Plz tell how to put it back

what size screwdriver will work?

It's literally impossible

Can u close the car again

Real question.. is ur arm ok?

It feels like making slime withoust borox

So...its actually the ring that is blocking us from opening it

I killed my hands on the volvo 240. I am on a mission to recreate my car

I want to repair wheels how im gonna repair?

Hey pls upload a vido of how to assemble again
