I put different rims on mine. Spinners on one of them just for fun, and some rims off my Escalade EXT for another one...forgot who makes them, but they look better.

I only got a 1:24 Hot Lava. If I found a few plain BSP's or TCM's, I'll repaint mine. But so far, no luck.

Anyone know where to find these without the rice graphics on the side? I am looking for a TCM :)

Been checking Walmart and Target on a faithful weekly basis with no luck the past month.

The only ones that I saw without the grahics are in the 4 car case. That's what I had for my club. The case comes red, black, white and silver.

I wish that you guys were closer, because I could hook you up. That's crazy that you gonna have to pay almost $50 for that 4 pack.

There is a toy wholesaler that's by my job that has these. That's how I got them for my club (see pics above). Shipping drives the price up. :?

I customized a 1/64 import racer,found some Boyds model spray paint at Wally World that came pretty close to the BOP,a little purplish though.I used to build slotcars years ago and messing with the Import Racer 1/64 kind of makes me want to break out all my old slotcar stuff and get back into it :Dhttp://pic3.picturetrail.com/VOL22/556549/2223248/70443553.jpg

I have 1/24 scale Fabulous wheels that I sell. Cost is $11.99 for a set. They work great for the plastic kits. I'm sure they'll work with the diecast cars.

I was on Ebay yesterday looking at scion stuff and somebody has the Dub Scions with a lift kit on it. For all of us who have been hearing about a "jacked up" scion, maybe this will be a good idea of what it will look like. Here is the link, hope it works

can u just paint over the big white xB's or do you have to sand it down first? I have a BOP xB and I wanna match the white toy box with my xB. Let me know :) Also where can I find the closest paint to the BOP paint??? Thanks!

bBlover
11-25-2004, 06:52 AM
I wanna do that too. I wanna BOP xB but I am afraid that I will f somethin up. If I was to do that I would use my HL DC xB. I am good @ taking things apart it is just the matter of getting them back together. I don't even know how to get the paint. Maybe I can see if my stepdad can get me some.

easiest way is to go to the parts store and look at the small spray cans of duplicolor and find one thats the closest. To remove the parts without breaking them just shave the plastic off in the back where it is melted flat and the parts come off. Then when putting back together I use crazy glue but be careful to not get it on the windows it F's them up :evil:

I just got my white xB(1/24). got home and threw on the extra set of wheels and axles from the Import Racer Mitsu Evo. The wheels are Racing Hart CR's The longer axles moved the wheels out a bit. The rear wheels even have the crazy negative camber that I want. It looks cool.

11-25-2004, 04:45 PM
I was thinking of changing the wheels on my HL do they come right off like the Import Racer wheels?

I didnt know you could change them out! If you have a Import Racer (model kit) car you can use the wheels you have from there. If not I do not know what to tell you. Or ask someone for theirs. :)

a good way to get paint is to goto your local auto body shop and give them your paint code and ask for a small bottle of touch up paint, then go to the store and buy that model car spray kit testors has and just poor the paint into the lil bottle it sprays from. im pretty sure that would work well.
