Scorpions were 1-75 series sized, plastic-bodied vehicles with a small, on-board electric motor. They ran on standard Superfast track but made use of a refuelling (i.e. recharging) station to keep them going.
There's a thread with more details here.

They were in a similar vein to Hot Wheels Sizzlers.

Thanks for the info and links. I think by the time those came out I , my interests had changed to girls and music instead of matchbox. By the by, any news from Naji?
