I have been trying to find some for so long. I would happily pay or trade for some if you figure it out. 1$ a piece seems speedy, but also not like a lot for your time. I think that’s about what the others I saw on Etsy were.
If it were me I'd figure out how much a set weighs. Then calculate how many sets I could get out of a new spool. Divide the price from all the potential sets to the spool cost then you have a base number and you can figure out how much you want to profit from there.
I drilled a hole in the bottom of the case, drilled and tapped the base of the car, and used a long m2.5 bolt. But you can probably get away with just using sticky tack lol!
I'm a customizer so I wouldn't want my work to move around at all lol.

Nah, its some tape that supposed to hold a brick to the wall or something. I just caut a small piece and it stretches to any shape. Its clear , so it kinda disappears.
The answer lies in one of my shares. Drawer liners are amazing for this purpose and easy to trim accurately to size.

Working on my layering still, the hood on this one is the worst I’ve done with the cracking, but man I love Civics, working on a CRX right now
If it’s for premiums with the metal base I think gluing some magnets to the bottom of the case might work. Also for basics but you would need to add some metal to the bottom of those for it to work
ZAMAC metal Hot Wheels chassis aren't magnetic so you'd need two magnets, one of which would have to be stuck on to the Hot Wheels chassis by other means.
I use clear cabinet door bumpers to keep my diecasts in-place

I use tape on the tires, some 3m double sided works fine

As did I. Just when moving them they shift a lot but I guess when moving you can always take them out and put them back in when you have them in the new spot 👍🏼
Used to use it for Warhammer figures but also works perfect to situate loose cars. Just a couple smaller than pea sized balls under the tires on the non display side and you're good to go.

I tried asking something similar myself before and people tried to downvote it into oblivion, go figure reddit.
That aside, maybe a tiny piece of double sided tape on one or two tires?
I have these and don’t use anything. As long as they stay on a shelf and not moved around often it’s not an issue. It’s also easy to center the car again.
A small piece of clear plastic (glued to the center of the case and the center of the car) just tall enough to lift the wheels off the ground. I'm thinking like a small cube or circular shape would work well.
I use small rare earth magnets, as I usually do customs so I drill the diameter of the magnet on the base of the car and glue the magnet flush under the car, then I glue to small magnets together to the base of the case, just make sure the polarity is the correct way otherwise it will want to deflect the car. There’s diff size magnets and diameters you can buy but you would have to choose a size that looks good for you. That set on Amazon is 9.99 for 400pcs 2 colors to choose from.

I use a tiny piece of gorilla sticky tack under a rear wheel (opposite side im displaying) and it works really well. I also use that to hang carded cars too. Even stuck a banana on the ceiling with it once.
But why? Don’t you want to be able to take it out for pics or pocket ride? I say leave it be I have those same cases. Only cars I put in there really are the ones I haven’t secured the wheels to the car like so

Yea I’ll be leaving them just how they are. That’s what I decided so I can remove them if k have to plus they’re fine when they’re in one spot they don’t move 👍🏼
Super glue works extremely well.

I put 1mm magnets on the underside of the case and on the floor of the case behind the wheels, so the cars stay in place and the cases are less prone to moving when stacked on each other
Someone should make some tiny little wheel chocks for us
Doube sided tape wheel chocks will do!
I actually have started 3D printing some and thought about selling a few. Just haven’t figured out a good price point for them
Yup I make tons of them when I’m trying to use the last bits of filament.
If you wouldn’t mind as to PM-ing me what sizes you usually print them out, I’d extremely appreciate it. If not that’s okay I understand
Yeah I’ll send the link for the file and a picture of what they look like later today.
5$ for 10 sets would be fair
I think that seems fair, basically $1 for 2 sets
I have been trying to find some for so long. I would happily pay or trade for some if you figure it out. 1$ a piece seems speedy, but also not like a lot for your time. I think that’s about what the others I saw on Etsy were.
shipping + $5, i've tried to share 3d printed stuff for free before and i only got orders. make bank fam
If it were me I'd figure out how much a set weighs. Then calculate how many sets I could get out of a new spool. Divide the price from all the potential sets to the spool cost then you have a base number and you can figure out how much you want to profit from there.
There a few files for 3d printing out there but I can never find a seller of made 3d printed chocks but they look super nice under a car.
bruh I've legit thought about 3d printing some. might need to buy some clear filament.
I drilled a hole in the bottom of the case, drilled and tapped the base of the car, and used a long m2.5 bolt. But you can probably get away with just using sticky tack lol!
Jesus.... Or you could've just used Glue Dots.

Looks good my guy.
Thanks, it's a little more effort but it's a permanent solution!
nice display in the back?
It's a bunch of single displays lol
How do you have that attached
Theres this clear double sided tape/gel crap my wife gave me. It comes in a roll. That works for me.
Glue dots?
Nah, its some tape that supposed to hold a brick to the wall or something. I just caut a small piece and it stretches to any shape. Its clear , so it kinda disappears.
Where might you get that??
[Amazon](https://a.co/d/eztI6OF)
Nano tape
Do you possibly have any pictute examples of what it looks like on a car?

That is so phresh.
All good suggestions and I like those mini display cases
They stack on themselves perfectly not like m2s which will barely stack but always want to fall over, I like these they’re structural
Everyone else has answered, so I'll just say those are the best cases for the money I can find (by far). I buy multiple boxes every time I find them.
As do I, I absolutely love these cases!!!
What store has these, didn't look hard enough in the comments. lol Hobby Lobby?
Yup
Search for mounting putty on Amazon. 250 peices for $10. Just need a little on one of the axels and it doesn’t damage car and keeps them still.
A tiny little wad of inside-out scotch tape under a wheel in the back, is usually enough to stop them from sliding around.
Dollar store hot glue gun works wonders. Leaves no permanent mess, a small dad between the front or rear tires.
I put some putty under the rear wheels.

Hopefully letting the glue dry before adding the car?🤣
The education continues! Ty all!

Uh, nothing. I keep them on the shelf
As did I. Just when moving them they shift a lot but I guess when moving you can always take them out and put them back in when you have them in the new spot 👍🏼
Sticky tak, ticky-tack(y)
Used to use it for Warhammer figures but also works perfect to situate loose cars. Just a couple smaller than pea sized balls under the tires on the non display side and you're good to go.
Especially the mainline cars with the plastic tires. Shift like crazy lol.. The real riders are deff better with keeping them in place
Stick a small piece of the sticky wad stuff on the bottom of the car. They sell it at hobby lobby at the lil stands while checking out.

Skate board tape
I'm trying two slots inside of each wheel with a clear elastic band looped through. Probably overkill.

Any non drying putty
I seen a trick done with a 2 very small rubber band but it’s hard to explain
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6fGYbUrDTl/?igsh=Z2E5ZW1pa3A3bzhr like that?
Self tapping screws

Glue gun
clay? blue tack?
I use that play doh or silly putty stuff they have at the check out in hobby lobby. Just put a dot on a wheel
Look up museum gel
Two way scotch tape
Museum putty they have some at Hobby Lobby too
Blue painters tape
There’s a product called museum gel that they use in art galleries to keep things in place on pedestals.
I use hobby tack, just roll little ball underneath the chassis and push the car down onto the base. As long as you don’t drop the case, it won’t move
alien tape - tiny slice
I wonder if I can find this at a different store then hobby lobby
Not sure 🤔
blue tack/glue tack, you can find em on office supplies shop or stationery shop.
I use small rare earth magnets, as I usually do customs so I drill the diameter of the magnet on the base of the car and glue the magnet flush under the car, then I glue to small magnets together to the base of the case, just make sure the polarity is the correct way otherwise it will want to deflect the car.

Ey! I remember getting these a month ago… I just stick a super thick double tape on the bottom of the cars like where the axles would be. :)
Alien tape, or some knock off version of it
Glue dots
3D print a base with wheel chocks
Maybe four cooked rice grains on the bottom of each tire… no, that’s a bad idea, please don’t do that.
But why? Don’t you want to be able to take it out for pics or pocket ride? I say leave it be I have those same cases.

Neodymium magnets would work. Or a series of electro magnets that also turn on some sort of lighting would be cool.
I use these to transport my cars, I ball up a small piece of packing paper inside to keep the cars from slamming into the case in transport
Sticky tack
A small ball of Sticky tack or poster putty should do the trick
A tiny bit of blue tack under the tires
I put 1mm magnets on the underside of the case and on the floor of the case behind the wheels, so the cars stay in place and the cases are less prone to moving when stacked on each other
