Actually on Greenlight cars you can both slightly raise and lower the stance after removing the wheels and fiddling with the the holes, that are drilled through the base to push the axle through. When you need to lower the stance it is clear - you need to file some of the material on the upper side of the hole for the axle. When you need to increase the stance just slightly, you could take advantage of the fact that the holes for the axles are usually wider than the diameter of the axle itself. So all you need to do is use super glue with some baking soda to make the axle hole narrower by applying the glue and the soda to the upper side of the axle hole. Once the glue and sode mixture has dried, you could fiddle with the hole and make it wide just enough to push the axle through and let it rotate freely, so that you do not spoil the rolling action of the model. I am using this process to slighly improve the stance of the GL197 casting - Dodge Diplomat and Plymouth Grand Fury, which is notorious for having an extremely low stance, without drilling the model and adding material to the inside to lift the body from the base. The good thing is that after drying and sanding the glue + soda mixture turns to a greyish colour, that belnds well with non-painted Greenlight bases. Also the wheels do block the sight well enough, so one would not really see that super glue + baking sode have been used to adjust the diameter of the axel hole. It is a shame though that a collector must take such actions to fix their models.

Cannot say I agree. The wheels are ALWAYS jacked up. Even the NYC Parks and recreation truck & trailer. Look at the rear driver wheel on truck. I'm just saying if your gonna spend more money for a Premium it should be just that "Premium". Other than that it's a great video, well done. Still friends 😁 Pat

Hi, I have a question. I have 2 limited edition greenlight San Diego 2011 police interceptors, one a canine car and the other a traffic cruiser,. I can't seem to find out how much these are worth? They are both brand new in the package and come with a trading card. Can anyone tell me how much these are worth? Thank you

@@Championdjk Can hardly find anything on them--did find them on "worthpoint" ,website that tells the value of collectible things etc., but you have to pay a subscription fee to see what they're worth (and the subscription fee is not just a couple of bucks). I did however find someone in ( I think) Singapore. Anyways, they were for sale there for fifty bucks. Thanks anyways

Lets be HONEST! Greenlight does NOT make the BEST of anything. Greenlight is pretty much the only company making police vehicles. Alot of them. I will give greenlight credit for that....but these police vehicles are not of the highest quality. GOOD VIDEOS YOU GOT HERE...KEEP MAKING THEM. 😉
