I did a short video racing turbo wheels against each other then against two hot wheels. 
Are they fast? You decide.

Thanks for the demo.


  • Thanks for watching — Banjo

reminds of the Maisto Adventure Force stuff... maybe a little cheaper...


  • Some of that stuff is decent to practice drilling on, and I've actually sent in a couple to race after a wheel swap, did okay on the track. — SpyDude
  • last year 3 of mine were maisto's nice bodies, wheels need work, metal machines...well letsa see how one does at GTR — dr_dodge
  • I have been a Maisto fan since I started playing with these diecast again... If they could get the wheels figured out, they would be great... I love many of their castings! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing

Fun video! You never know unless you try em.  Thanks for sharing.

  • thats a fact! — dr_dodge
  • and, the not wheels are very under rated at times — dr_dodge
  • Not wheels lmao — Banjo

Good demo.

Dont have those down here, but the wheels look similar to some other cheap cars found down here. Always going to be an issue for any car under 30gm, unless they are well built. I generally have found with these types of cars the wheels are too loose and have varying clearance issues.

But, sometimes some of these wheel and axles sets once taken out of the car, and worked on, can not roll too bad in  good workhorse build.

A few of those cars have nice flat metal weights on the inside of the chassis

Also good for crushing for your monster truck rallies, three for a buck!  :)

I had the Orange and Purple ones in my Work Tournament someone used. The Purple one did very well, the Orange one not so much.

Fun video, thanks for taking the plunge and experimenting with another off brand so we didn't have to! 

Were you noticing any track rub with this brand, the bodies themselves being a touch too wide for orange track?
