Do the 3 cars have to contain parts from only that brand? An all hot wheels car, all mbx car...ect?


  • No...just the chassis and body must be from the same car — LeagueofSpeed
  • Nice. I was worried about the matchbox. I only have a couple and I didn’t want to have to sand the treads off of the edges. I never seem to find mbx cars that I like either. — Jav74
