[SuperCatfishdude]

After I saw this I went and bought the west coast flyer.

[racegrooves]

@SuperCatfishdude Mattel has stated that there will be more trains this year =)

[SuperCatfishdude]

@racegrooves I really hope so. =)

[supermariohunter2001]

9:01 collisions!!!!

[marshbjuneb22]

Do you know if they are going to release more in 2012?

[racegrooves]

@marshbjuneb22 Yes, they will be releasing more trains in 2012.

[chray815]

theres also a chrome rapid transit train my brother gots it

[momo4117]

do you know the retail price? also good vid

[racegrooves]

@momo4117 Originally, around $6 for a 2-pack but the stores are starting to clearance them for new merchandise so you may find them cheaper.

[nothing51286]

they dont go through the loop in tuner raceway(made in 2004)

[racegrooves]

@nothing51286 I was not familiar with the Tuner Raceway so I searched eBay for an example. Apparently, that playset uses a launcher. I didn't do any testing with launchers. I would think that the trains would work just fine if you hooked up the set to a clamp and gave it a gravity start instead of a launcher that it would work just fine.

[nothing51286]

@racegrooves does it really come with a launcher??? mine didnt...

[racegrooves]

@nothing51286 My mistake. I was going by pics on eBay since I don't have the Tuner Raceway. They had the track laid flat on the floor and a Launcher in another pic. I didn't realize that the Launcher didn't go with the set.

[MegaSonic1010]

I have the turbo trolley

[racegrooves]

@MegaSonic1010 Cool! I picked that one up just a few days ago. I thought that the Turbo Trolley might glow in the dark because he has that type of color to it but I guess that it doesn't glow in the dark. Do you have more than just that pair?

[MRJStudios2010]

These are so cool! Might get a couple for my collection

[epicrandomman1]

racegrooves i really enjoy your vids plus have been waiting for hot wheels to release the trains near where i live...untill yesterday where i bought my first one in range

[racegrooves]

@epicrandomman1 Thanks for watching and have fun with your Trains!

[yovanajah]

NICE

[racegrooves]

@yovanajah Thanks! 

[toby182]

They are 9 friggin dollars in Australia, for a pair

[09countryangel]

They keep bringing out new ones of them because they started with 7 but they got 10 now

[racegrooves]

@09countryangel I don't remember how many they had planned to bring out, it was 12 or 16, so we may see a few more and that's it.

[ihateelmoful]

haven't seen these at Walmart for months. must not be a 2012 edition of the rapid transits series.

[racegrooves]

@ihateelmoful They can still be found at Target.

[zaty57]

@racegrooves thanks so much for making a video about gravity tracks i had the idea because in the video video racer manual it says that it works best in the gravity tracks and i want to see what they are and you were right about mthbusters in the back ground my sister and grandparents were watching it from zaty57

[zaty57]

@racegrooves ppplllleeeaaaasssseeee post a hotwheels gravity set i realy want to see what they are i realy enjoyed the transit trains video and i love your website but i still want to see a gravity set if you are ably to please send a video comment i will realy apresheate it from zaty57 p.s. sorry it was so long

[racegrooves]

@zaty57 I am working on two track sets this morning. I think that they both use Launchers though. But I will see if I make time to hook up a clamp and make it a gravity set-up =)

[bmxfreak308]

way to open a collectible lol

[Mrllamazilla]

Great to see someone doing what they love for a living, never stop being a kid!

[lars3213]

[Hotshotmech38]

@pantherDE13 quit trolling around.

[Hotshotmech38]

Not very decent on the oval :/

[spqr1732lego]

[racegrooves]

@spqr1732lego The Hot Wheels Rapid Transit trains are still available. Thanks for watching =)

[T5646766]

[racegrooves]

@T5646766 Now, that was funny! I had to check it out to see what you meant regarding the Pillsbury Dough Boy =)

[pantherDE13]

dude get a life. how old are u like 40 these things were made for kids.

[racegrooves]

@pantherDE13 Dude. Why are you watching videos for kids =) Kids are my business RaceGrooves(dot)com

[epicutubemembername]

@pantherDE13 Why are you watching videos on Hot Wheels anyway ? You're the one who should get a life , troll .

[hashrulsubzero]

@pantherDE13 Show some respect to the guy....any die-cast aren't made for kids ;)

[infringementMAN]

@pantherDE13 It's called a JOB. Dude.

[speedracer456v]

Just googled these. There's one that looks as if it was based off the bttf DeLorean

[RebuildReach]

daddy why cant we play with the toys?

[racegrooves]

@RebuildReach (grin)

[TheLifeOfEpic]

hotwheels failed!

[PsiStarstormOmega982]

but will it the make a jump can you try it with a jump?

[racegrooves]

@PsiStarstormOmega982 That is a good question. I suppose the train should make the Jump just fine. I have a lot of other projects already planned but if I bring out the trains again, I will try to remember to include a jump.

[Spacek531]

The "West Coast Flyer" train is modeled after a locomotive that ran exclusively on the East Coast.

[racegrooves]

@Spacek531 Thanks for the information about the West Coast Flyer!

[MrBob2234]

in Canada the name on the sides of all the packs it says rapid transit. i guess in Canada things are different

[racegrooves]

@MrBob2234 Does it say Rapid Transit on the side of all of the packages? Here in the U.S., it says the model name on the side for each of the packages.

[MrBob2234]

@racegrooves yes all of the packs say rapid transit

[MrBob2234]

@racegrooves yes they all say rapid transit on the packs. do you think it is an error. also do you have any of the 2011 treasure hunts

[racegrooves]

@MrBob2234 I don't know why they didn't put the names on the packs over here. I seen a couple new ones this past week. I'm working on a video of "New Stuff At Target" which I will start uploading soon. As for the 2011 TH's, I have about the first six and that's it so far.

[ThreeDaysOfDan]

@racegrooves i love treasure hunts until you try selling them to legit collectors.. there worth less. except for a select rare hand full 

[ThePepper3344]

Rocky mont. music fills my memoryhiyhyyyys!

[Piplup41541]

oops, if you get my comment, sorry. I need to watch a whole video before watching

[Piplup41541]

@Piplup41541 i mean commenting.. lol

[racegrooves]

@Piplup41541 I have to type notes in the comments section as the video is playing so that I don't comment too soon as well...

[Piplup41541]

How much do these cost?

[HANSOLO1999]

[brawl765]

what track set you use for the loops

[formulaonehotwheel]

Pretty cool. I was hoping that eventually they would come out with the old Hot Line trains from the 70s which were battery powered. Remember the old Juice Machine! LOL.

[racegrooves]

@formulaonehotwheel I don't remember the original Hot Line Trains from when I was growing up. I don't think I even knew about Sizzlers. I know we had a Slot Car track though because I remember the springs under the car getting caught in the carpet all the time...

[chris40539]

how many of them do they have i only got 7 different ones

[racegrooves]

@chris40539 Eventually, the plan is for them to have 12 different 2-packs including buses and trolleys.

[DaddyIvo]

I like when they were hitting each other at the end of the track. Cool vid' AND display of a new Hotwheels product. You should make commercials for em'! ; )

[racegrooves]

@DaddyIvo It kind of looks like I'm already doing commercials and they don't even have to pay me.

[jameel989]

how much did u bought it?

[racegrooves]

@jameel989 The trains come in 2-packs and they are about $4 a pack.

[takeoutvideo442]

That is cool! Those look better then the other ones! I love that chrome steam engine one! thumbs up on this one! I always love your movies!

[racegrooves]

@takeoutvideo442 got to love chrome!

[giggleblaggle]

I'm going to have to buy some of those. They look like so much fun, and I can't believe how well they work on the tracks.

[racegrooves]

@giggleblaggle The work pretty good! I should have drove them around on the table in the long chain. I didn't think about that until I watched all of the segments. Oh well, the video was 10 minutes already LOL!

[georgeman21222]

LMFAO.... i loved when you popped your head in... i think you were having too mcu fun .. awesome, i kept watching wondering when you were going to connect more than just 2 but very awesome... im glad you made the vid , now i dont have to lol, anyways great vid, these cars are awesome ! keep em coming

[racegrooves]

@georgeman21222 I'm looking forward to my sequel. I'm curious how long of a train can I get through a loop!

[georgeman21222]

@racegrooves mee too

[racegrooves]

@pokeblast101 Glad you like the video!

[hotwheelsrawesoms1]

are the base's metal?

[racegrooves]

@hotwheelsrawesoms1 Yes, the bases on the Hot Wheels Rapid Transit trains are metal and the rest is plastic.

[MissToyCollector]

Awesome!

[123456hotwheels]

That's awesome! I'm gonna have to buy some and see of they work on the big air jump and the ccriss cross crash!

[racegrooves]

@123456hotwheels If you watch my Bg Air Jump closely, I actually had at least one Rapid Transit train, the red one. Watch the last segment, I believe.

[123456hotwheels]

@racegrooves well i mean like, when they are connected. see if they will work.

[racegrooves]

@123456hotwheels Yeah, I don't remember if I did two trains at a time through the Big Air Jump. I will look forward to your video!

[Rhodey360]

@racegrooves yaa that was soo cool it happened at 8:50

[Rhodey360]

@Rhodey360 9:00 sorry

[racegrooves]

@Rhodey360 Glad you like the video!

[Rhodey360]

[racegrooves]
