Some of the Fly Slot Cars with onboard cameras sell for around USD $500.

Looks like you got some old-technology slot cars cuz the new ones have improved chassis and other things to resist chassis flex but im not really sure about the prices or the voltage that they run on, i just know there old by looking at them and seeing mine with the technology in my car. Sry that i couldnt help much

correct lol

tigger- i talked to the place that you refered me to and this is what they told me

"Hi Kevin;
The one in the middle with the red tires is a very old 1960's car and also the one on the very top with the pink motor in it. The one that has a Parma motor in it is a Parma Flexi-1 chassis with a Parma 16D motor.(which they still sell but with a Death Star 16D motor) The bottom one is a wing car chassis (not sure who makes it) with an old Mura motor (normally Gr.15 or 20 arm) Well I hope that helps you out."
