    Something that really pisses me off is that even in the Elite series HW doesn't do anything to differentiate the different cars other than slap on some decals. There is no way all the F430CH cars run with the same red seats and two of them in the car during a race. I think they should really step their game up or sooner (hopefully) or later they are going to lose their license to someone who is really willing to do a dissent job.

    You're totally right. I mean the seats itself are nice. But the details (what it suposed to be of Hotwheels) is going down badly. It's a shame because people pay a big amount of money for those cars, and you get a nice car but that's it (not really special). I agree with your opinion that (you hope) they loose their license, and that other companies will take over their job. Good on you to write this +1.

    I agree, I like the Elites a lot but they need to step it up if they are going to call the line "Elite"...
    The 333sp Elite is a good example of why they need to get on top of things in that dept.

    Aside from some creative,altho incorrect decals , the Elite 333 is no different than the old version. The wheels are a joke. The engine is department looks like the car has been left in the Bronx overnight and the exhaust molding is "something" that slightly appears to be close to pipes exiting the engine. And all this for a Kyosho price.

    Does this mean the 333 Elite is an accurate model or not? I bought one, but haven't opened it up yet.

    It's true, the whole 333 is a total joke. And that's a shame. But hopefully the License is going to Kyosho.

    What I was saying is that its just no better then the previous non elite version...
    If you are going to get one to display, then get the cheaper non elite and save your self some money.

    I searched for a photo of the real car. But the whole car is right except for 2 things which are:
    - The model has number 102, the real car number 2 or 88
    - The model has 2 seats, the real car (ofcourse 1)

    So Hotwheels has to look for improvement on delivering 100% right modelcars

    i noticed the quality of the regular models going down so they introduce elite which is very good but not great, they look great compared to the regular but the regular looks awful
