What are these model cars?

[Makhaira]

Trying to identify what these are for a family member. The best I can describe them as would be mini-Scaletrix cars. They're about 2 inches long, with a guide pin front and rear, and two metal contacts at the front.

Anyone seen anything like these before?

Could be slotted TCR cars?

Looks like Marchon, or possibly life-like slot cars.

They had a very strong center magnet and dual pins, went up the wall, and over loops.

TCR didn't have a pin to locate them because you could 'change lanes' with them. I remember now looking pics online that they had 3 contacts

One of the micro slot cars collection, might still have mine in the attic from 40 years ago.

Mattel, Tyco, Hot Wheels, there are many makes around.

Thanks guys, I'll let them know . No doubt the first move will be to check eBay to see if they're worth anything!

Looks very much like a micro machine slot car. My brother and I used to have a micro machine slot car set many many years ago now and I'm pretty sure they were the same as these.
