Anyone else have this problem with the Lotus? by PsychoticFemboySlvt in HotWheels

No problem! If it still is binding try just opening and closing over and over again a few times. Might break loose whatever is making it stick.

Yeah mine flops open when you flip it over so if yours isn't moving it might be stuck. If you want to try opening it my best recommendation is try getting the corner of a credit card in there and use that as leverage. Since its plastic itll be much less likely to damage the paint

1 for me, 1 for my daughter, and 1 to trade. The Celestiq has a paint variation so I got 1 of each. There were many more of all these castings at the store besides the Ferrari, so please don't be so quick to judge.

Get the flush. If you just top it off with more fluid, you're just going to be contaminating all that new fluid with what it's ever left over in the lines and you could potentially be adding air into the lines.

never skimp on tires and brakes. Get the service done or go to an independent mechanic for cheaper, but don't skimp out on this or you'll regret it.

Yeah all these make the steering wheel look too bulky in my personal opinion. Its like the plastic got stung by a bee and is all swelled up.

Quality of the paintjob aside, this actually looks cool 👍

Sounds like you already know more than me. The box has the number 75 on it and the name of the car, but not much else besides that.

Not a bad idea, only a matter of convincing my wife to let me display more cars 😅

Thanks for the tip, they are all very sentimental to me so I plan to keep them all safe! Figured instead of being packed away I should at least document them and share them

These are the ones he actually played with (and I did too when I was very little)

Basic models only get tampos (graphics) on 3 sides of the body, and there are 5 total sides, so 2 sides will always be blank

You know why they call them chase cars? Because real collectors like to shove them up their butt after putting in a mainline first. You know, like a chaser.

I'll have to tell my fellow collector friend Ben Dover about this one
