See what I get today..... 2 FXX & 1 Elite Enzo

I got 2 FXX and 1 Elite Enzo today. HW did improve its Enzo in the Elite series. I have made a rough comparison between the FXX, Elite Enzo and normal Enzo. Even though the Elite Enzo has improved, but the Enzo rims are still undersized. The best modification is to replace the original rims set by the FXX rim and tires. That's will be a perfect match. HW has enhanced the the engine and interior alot in its Elite Enzo. I will show more comparison in photos in 4 categories, their interior, front hood, engine, and rims. Enjoy.

it's all up.... please post your feedback.

 

1. Is the Elite Enzo worth the extra cost when compared to the standard Hot Wheels Enzo?

It has to see the actual selling price, let's assume 60-70USD, I think the price is acceptable. But if the price is around 50-55USD, I can think it is a good deal. The engine looks good and quite detailed like the Tamiya 1/12 Enzo. There were a few photoetch in the interior of Elite Enzo. Overall, looks alot better than normal enzo. However, the rims and tires of Elite Enzo are still too small. I would like to use the FXX rims and tires to replace the Elite Enzo rims and tires. After doing this modification, it is EXCELLENT. The quality will look close to the BBR 1/18 Enzo. The paint of the Elite Enzo is imporved alol also. The paint is more redish, unlike the normal Enzo which is somehow looks like orange..... Well, my photos did not show the difference, and you have to get one on your hand to feel it.

2. How do you feel abou the wheels on the FXX being silver instead of black?

It doesn't matter, the show FXX is in silver rims, but if you like it black, you can just paint it. I am ok with that. Personally, I love both colors. On the other hand, I already have my 1/12 Tamiya FXx installed the APM 1/12 FXX rims set. I am happy with that already. It doesn't matter.

3. Where did you get the FXX?

I believe these are Factory samples for pre-order. I obtain them in good price under some secret source. Sorry, I can't mention it here, otherwise, I will be in BIG trouble.......

 

You are welcome

 

where do you live?

 

I think it takes awhile for it to release to public......

looks nice.

 

John, you want the Koenig Testarossa transkit, do you?

 

Chow don't have it, but I have one....

It is extremely surprice that the transkit reached 300USD...

 

I take some photos to you at weekend, and we can talk about it.

 

I think Chow has the original mold from the original maker, but he is not making it...

Well, any comment of the Koenig F48 transkit that is upcoming by APM?
