The bottom one says "full tilt" - and I want to say I've heard of that. The top one I can't read the markings.
However, they look like typical Chinese FK-180 motors. Before tariffs, probably worth at least $2-4 each.

My guess would be early R/C motors. Don't look like slot car motors and that's some pretty hefty windings!

Thanks, Mark, guess I'm not up to speed on current motors!

I’d assume that’s an older motor. It was with a Parma Rotor 16D which is like 25 years old so could be same vintage.

Is S&E a small VA shop that was better known for producing their own clear bodies than other slot car parts? If so, they are still around. but they dumped their online web store 3 or 4 years. I know of a Maine home trackowner who has been buying from them within the last six months, so these motors may not be 25 years old. A few years ago, John Havlicek was rewinding motors for S&E. but they weren't FKs.
Actually S&E is in Norristown. PA, not in VA, They do have a Facebook page.

Disposable drag motors.

Wow, it's been 25 years since the rotor came out? Time flies when you don't pay attention to it

They were still being sold in 2010.
