The very first time you use Car Maker, you need to insert 2 wax sticks. Car Maker comes pre-loaded with 1 wax stick. The second stick you insert is not meant to fit completely inside the machine – it will protrude through the top. After you have made your very first car, only 1 additional wax stick needs to be inserted every time. Please note that ALL wax sticks must be inserted with the point side down.

You can customize your vehicle in the workshop. Follow the green tool icon to find the workshop hangar.
-
There are multiple types of customizations that you can make:
-
One-shots are one-time game modifiers that you can use to improve your performance, such as nitro bursts that give you faster speed. However, after you use a one-shot, you no longer have it anymore. You would need to unlock another one to use it again.
-
Add-ons are customizations that can be used forever on your vehicle, such as tires or weapons. Once you have unlocked them, they are permanently available for your use.
-
In order to modify your vehicle in the workshop, tap any icon in the circle with your finger and it will take you to the page where you can unlock it, if you have enough credits.
-
You can purchase more credits to unlock specific one-shot or add-on modifications. Once add-ons are purchased, they will always be available to equip your car.
|
The more you play the game, the more credits you earn. You can redeem credits in the workshop. Your credits are listed in the top right corner of the screen.

In the last few years we have seen a tremendous increase in the number of people interested in collecting Hot Wheels cars. Among collectors, some cars are more popular than others, which can make them more difficult to find. As a manufacturer, Mattel does not operate a complete customer sales department so our products are sold primarily through retail stores. However, please check out www.hotwheelsshop.com for some collectible items being sold there.

You should hear/feel it click when you push the pen down into its slot on the spray gun.

You can combine your pens to get more color combinations. For example, you can get green by applying blue and yellow inks over each other. First apply a thin layer of one color until you get the desired coverage, then switch pens and apply an even layer of your second ink. Try making your own combinations!

On
the underside of the launcher, each end of the rubber band should be wrapped
around a peg on each side of the main launcher and then doubled up and hooked
around the center tab of the moveable portion of the launcher.
Here is a picture of an assembled rubber band launcher!

When the WWE Power Slammers figures are connected, cranked up and the head is pushed to start, they start to move, but then get caught or don’t move.
-
For the Thunder Twisting figures, John Cena, Zack Ryder and Sheamus, make sure the arm is straight before you push the head to start the wrestling. If the arm is bent it causes the figures to get caught and not wrestle.

First, ensure that the car is specifically meant for the Apptivity Hot Wheels game, and not a regular Hot Wheels car. You will be able to tell whether it is for Apptivity by looking for the contact points on the bottom of the car.
-
Ensure that the contact points are extended rather than retracted. There is a button on the bottom of the car that allows you to switch between traditional Hot Wheels car play (retracted) and Apptivity mode (extended).
-
Check the bottom of the car for debris, and wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
-
Wipe your screen with a soft, dry cloth to ensure the best conductivity with the car.
-
Make sure you are holding the car in the right location in order for it to be recognized.
-
Hold it in the center and on the sides of the car while the tires are on the screen.
-
Make sure that you are not placing the car on the black or white frame around the iPad screen. You must keep the car only within the screen area.
-
Do not wear gloves or mittens since the car needs to come in contact with your fingertips.

-
Touch the screen with your finger to move forward to the next page.
