Those are Tamiya Corp. Mini 4WD non-remote control racecars... customizable kit cars powered by little battery-driven electric motors.  You can find them in many reputable hobby shops.

They were fairly popular in America in the late 90's, though they were just referred to as "Tamiya cars" out here.  I remember my younger siblings used to build and race those at our local hobby store.  I believe the anime you're thinking of is Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!!.

I have many fond memories about the one Tamiya kit I had as a kid. I wonder if I should put one into my next order from HLJ.

Had quite a few of these buggers back in the day I didn't sport facial hair yet

Luckily rechargeable batteries were already at consumer level back then, or I'd bankrupted my parents

 

What was fun (at least until the motor burnt out), was putting in a 9v battery and really watch them go off
