$61 kit turns any Hot Wheels into a remote-controlled drift car
With a soldering iron and the parts in this kit, you can turn any 1:64 scale car in your collection into a drift missile. What will you build first?
Said to be compatible with pretty much any 1:64 model car (technically, Hot Wheels are larger than 1:64, though every cast varies), the kits are available as either $61 build-it-yourself sets or plug-and-play chassis for $136. The DIY kit is described as arriving as a bag of parts: wheels, steering servo, radio receiver, motor, and chassis components. The assembly video on his YouTube channel indicates you’ll need precision screwdrivers and a soldering iron, the cost of which will eat up some of the difference in price if you don’t already have them.
