Hello

New Member here.. Love the infos on Modifying Die-Cast models.. :grinyes:

I own a Matrix so ended up getting a Matrix 1/18 die cast model.. In process of trying to make it look like my My car currently..

Any info into the Right directions would be cool while I still surf this forum for more info on Lowering, etc.. :)
SO i'll be hanging around for a Long while :)

Thanks, Yeah gonna Sand it down and paint it. They don't make my color for the DieCast model. Only Red and Cosmic Blue and yet Silver is the most popular color. Oh well..

nice car ;)
the model is real ice too... are u gonna make the model exactly like the ral car or maybe a littl different? Whats the manufacturer of the car?

Welcome! Nice project.

EDIT: Dont forget to use the search and look at the stickied/important threads at the top of the forum page.

Yeah, I'm gonna try my best to make it look like my Car.. A Mini-Me if you will LOL!! Found some wheels but they are 20" inch wheels 1:18 scale. No 18" scaled wheels unless someone knows of a site that has a gang of wheel options..

The Model is made by Yat-Ming "Road Legend" series.

Goold luck with paiting. I just bought Matrix for my wife too. Where did you buy Die Cast? Does anyone knows if there are any in Plactic 1:24 / 1:25 scale?

Thank
Paul

Update.. I got my New Dremel in today i can continue Working on this.. I finally got the Axles modified to accept the the New Wheel Package. Me being a Noob, the 20" is too big for this Yat-Ming Model.. Not enough room for the wheels to turn all the way to the left or right but it do turns just not far enough before hittin the inner plastic tire well..

Next up, sanding it down and repainting it and adding the Lights when I find them at Radio Shack also lower it some more. :) :razz:

Very nice. Amazing.

Nice Matrix! I like the look.

My 65 yearold 6th grade teacher boguht one a few years ago.

i like the 18s.....

That's very nice. Good progress...

Looks nice!

jsut dunno if a Matrix is cool

The rims (Lorenzos) off the 1/24 S-10 that Jada Toys makes looks similar to the rims on your Matrix, with a little dark gray paint, it would almost look identical. They might be a little small, but hey, it's worth a try.

It does, but the rims on DUBz cars are practically all rims and no tire.

Hmm.. I am still new to Modifying a Model, trying to learn all the tricks. :) This is my first attempt and surely won't be the last now.. :)

lol well glad we could have been of help!
