How to Take a 1/18 Scale Diecast Sprint Car Apart

The structure of a 1:18 scale diecast sprint car is built on a plastic or metal frame, with the wing mounting points accessible when you remove the frame base. Removing the body from the chassis allows you to access the internal components so you can paint or detail them.

Things You'll Need

Philips-head screwdriver

Instructions

Dismantle the Model Sprint Car
- 1
  Turn the car upside down to access the plastic or metal base, then locate the mounting screws.
- 2
  Remove the mounting screws which hold the base together with a screwdriver, then pull the base of the sprint car away from the body.
- 3
  Remove the screws which attach the wing support frame to the body, then remove the screw which holds the cockpit in place. If you intend to paint the body, remove the plastic bumpers from the back as well as the front bumper and side roll cage bumpers.
- 4
  Remove the engine from the base. In some cases, the engine may be molded with the base.
