How to Make Custom Axles for Hot Wheels

SnorkellingClock·7 months ago

Custom axles for your Hot Wheels can totally up the game. You just need some piano wire or a similar gauge metal wire, cutters, and a little patience. Measure the original axle, cut the wire to length, and use pliers to make small bends at the ends to keep the wheels on. Remember, it’s all about precision to keep those wheels spinning smoothly.

DIY axles? Overrated. The effort vs. performance gain just ain't worth it, IMO. Stick with the originals or get off-the-shelf mods.

Making my own custom axiles was a game changer for my Hot Wheels collection! I used 1/16th inch stainless steel rods and a mini hand drill to create the holes where needed. Measure twice, cut once, and always test the fit before finalizing anything. Added bonus: learning a bit of metal work in the process!

If you're up for a bit of DIY, custom axles can add a unique touch to your Hot Wheels. I recommend using brass rods for ease of cutting and shaping. Plus, they look really cool against the diecast cars. Just cut to size, bend the ends, and you’re good to go.
