Re: Hotwheels Airport Rescue Variations?

Paul....The K-40's had major mechanical problems, before they got rid of them at ATL Airport it was costing the airport over half a million $$ in repairs. I know of at least one instance where the rear two axles broks off one of the K-40's while driving down a taxiway. Fortunately, it was not running off a hard surface! When the city sold them off, they went for about 5K each. The buyer salvaged the Detroit engines and trans and made a killing...

I also forgot there was a made in Mexico version. Is is basically the same as the other yellow models except the color of the red stripe is more orange.

The latter 2 are the harder to find.

Re: Hotwheels Airport Rescue Variations?

Thx Jeff....It probably has the B-2, but I agree the picture makes it hard to tell....

I'll let you know when I get the package.....

Re: Hotwheels Airport Rescue Variations?

Jeff,

Yes, it did in fact have a B-2....albeit not as pronounced as on the one I acquired a couple of years back.
