Fatbax

Fatbax was a very short-lived body style of Hot Wheels introduced in 2004. All ten cars had giant rear wheels and tiny front wheels, hence the Fatbax name ("fat backs"). The cars themselves were wedge-shaped and often had exaggerated engine sizes; because of their large rear wheels, they could not fit on Hot Wheels racing tracks and could only work on very few playsets.
The cars with this odd design caused a financial loss for Mattel and the sales of Fatbax cars were low, rendering the series unsuccessful; these were available in stores from 2004 through 2005. Most Fatbax cars have not been produced again since their initial release; the only two Fatbax cars to see a second release were the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C and the Plymouth Barracuda, both in 2005.
The rear wheels have all the same size on every Fatbax model.
