co2 dragster car Page 2

A CO2 dragster car is a tiny, lightweight model vehicle powered by a small carbon dioxide cartridge. These mini racers are popular in educational settings to teach principles of physics and engineering, as they can reach speeds upwards of 30 km/h over a short track.

Key specs include a length of about 20 cm, a weight under 100 grams, and a CO2 cartridge that provides a high-pressure burst of gas for propulsion. They're designed for speed, not endurance, so expect a quick, loud, and thrilling run lasting just a few seconds. For detailed build plans or purchasing kits, check out tradingpost.com.au or hobbyist forums.

Consult official competition rules if you're entering one of these dragsters in a race.
