Anyone remember Zip Zaps from Radio Shack years back?

I had other mini race cars including one by hot wheels, but they were more recent and much smaller than these.

I didn't think I could go smaller than the one I made yesterday, but I managed and it does spin albeit with some wobble because I don't have a lathe and it was hard to get this one square in the drill chuck.
Just a drill and dremel, to spin it against the 1×30 files and sandpaper.

It only goes for 10 seconds on a perfect spin before it starts to loose control so there's little time to focus and photograph, but I managed to get one.
