Help ID these Mystery HO Slotcars, please

[Ralphthe3rd]

I bought a bag of slot car bodies at a flea market yesterday, and got some nice A/FX & Tyco bodies. But, I also got these two characters mixed in the lot, w/partial chassis...
Can anyone Identify these Mystery Slot Cars, the chassis are missing their "Can" motors, pick-ups and guide pins, but are in otherwise perfect condition, both car bodies and chassis are identical, and there are NO markings on the chassis or underside of the bodies. Just the words Techno Racers on the tampos. BTW- the Front wheels/tires are one piece Hard Plastic. The rear are normal slip on rubber - just slightly larger than old AFX or X-Traction tires.

Could those be Marchon?

[Ralphthe3rd]

No, Not Marchon... and I have accessed the two sites that show all known chassis types....see links >

The only difference I see is the guide post and the crown spacer, but you do what you want.

Dude, the way the Majorette front axle is held on is different, it has TWO Traction magnets- While the Marchon has a single Bar, the body mount tabs are dif, and the Majorette has raised Flag limiter tabs next to the pick-ups... These two chassis are Not Even Close !
AND FYI- that Marchon you posted was a copy of the Tyco HP7 chassis....

Ok, now I've been told in a PM here....
"The red & yellow car is a Majorette 5609 and the white & black car is a Majorette 5608"


So I guess that means my two cars are 100% Majorette

....I needed P-U shoes for my Majorette Chassis, which are very rare, and was told the length wouldn't match up with most slot car shoes. Well Poo on that, the length was an exact match for the old Amrac/Rokkar/Early Life-Like(pre M or T) chassis. The hook end of the shoes needed narrowed a few thou to fit the slot, but Mr. Dremel was happy to oblige. And then just a slight bend to secure a nice/full contact patch, and they pop right on...Sweet !


Sorry the pic below is a bit blurry, as I hurried a bit and didn't focus on target.


BTW- the old Aurora G-Plus shoes could be made to fit as well, but aren't the exact length, they are about 1 or 2 mm longer, so they need more modding to fit as nicely as the Amrac/Rokkar/Life-Like shoes that I used.

It's ALIVE ! ...and it's a Monster :twisted:
I installed a Tomy Style motor and pinion, and changed rear tires to some AFX size Silicones and let her Loose on my Dragstrip ! It's almost as fast as a Tomy Turbo, and I think the difference being- the Turbo has taller gearing than the Majorette. It handles better than my Turbos tho, as the twin traction magnets really hold good. She's a little noisy, mainly because of those solid plastic front tires, but thats ok :handgestures-thumbup:
