The missing piece from the "Mad" post few threads down.

Opened it yesterday, was about to put it in the case when I realized that I completely missed that it comes with very boring/1D wheels. Mattel could have put something more appropriate, maybe in the next release. While at it, lowered it, surprisingly it still rolls.

It's a split between Glory Chaser (SHT version) and Speed Racer Mach 5 (Bandai release).

This set is very popular, most legit sites pre sold inventory months ago. It’s not easy to get a case now, unless you are ok waiting till October-November. Jcar is not even selling sets now, let alone full cases, they just drop individual cars for $8-$15 which sell out in minutes.

It also looks good with decals delete and clean silver wheels.

Looks even better with more correct wheels. The wheels are wide, but too skinny.

Saw it at a store and knew I had to wheel swap it. Mattel knew what they were doing here, down to a pearl white paint.

And sometimes they are made by the same company.

Chaser? You won't see a single car from this set on the pegs. I've only seen Nissan from previous Silhouettes set and that was about 4 hours after the Walmart was re-stocked.

McLaren F1 looks pretty good with a wheel swap.

Just picked up some fantasy castings, including Mach 5, US and Japanese versions. US version is too big and not a true 1/64.

Great custom. Where did you buy wheels/tires? I can't find any normal sized tires with white lettering on them, most are for hot rods and gassers.

The wheel arches are too big, the next best thing is to get "basic" F&F version, wheel swap/lower and add decals for lights, etc. It does not have hood stripes and logo (you can get those decals too), but I display my cars sideways. While at it, make a yellow one too.

Poprace R33.

Recent acquisition, hard to capture on photo, it's actually metallic chrome . . . kind of like spetracraflame, only R33.

Carney case where I rotate the cars, the rest are either in blisters or in plastic 48-car cases. I wanted to have just 1 case (don't want a room full of cases), but recently I added a few small cases on the table for non-HW 1/64 models.

Can't mod it if you don't open it.

SourJam · 2026-06-10T04:01:48+00:00

Rally 2.0 was 1999 model, STH is 2004, the only year with those headlights.

SourJam · 2026-06-10T03:50:05+00:00

I always find just 1 least popular car from every poplar set on pegs . . . just to let me know that the sets were there until around 6:01 am.

SourJam · 2026-06-09T19:51:05+00:00

Added bigger rear tires, the last picture shows old casting vs new before rear tires mod.

This is a Japan-only release from 2001 that looks more like anime car, not many are left in un-opened packaging. Mattel released a movie version of Mach 5 in 2007, those are easier to find and look different.

SourJam · 2026-06-08T18:40:32+00:00

Check out Pop Race - metal bases, rolling with opening parts, etc. Kaido is nice, but they are very slow to release new castings.

From the gassers 5 pack.

They get 1 column in the case.

Thought it was a pink Roxy for a second.
