As discussed below, the Mattel Mopar set has new markings on the chassis, "HPx2". I went to hoslotcarracing.com and found this note on the Mattel chasis:

I had already noticed that the HPx2 chassis does not have this small capacitor.
My question is, are these the first cars released by Mattel without the small capacitor?

"Mattel renamed the Tyco product line Mattel Electric Hot Wheels and renamed the Tyco 440x2 chassis the 440x3. The new 440x3 chassis is essentially the same as the original 440x2 chassis with the addition of a small capacitor to reduce radio frequency interference to better meet European RFI regulations." |
