Studica is the exclusive Canadian educational distributor of the safest, most reliable, and most consistent 4-gram and 8-gram CO₂ cartridges for launching dragsters. Consistent quality ensures the fairest races. Also, each of these cartridges features a patented safety seal that guards against rupture when exposed to excessive heat. This seal automatically releases excess pressure if the internal pressure rises due to the cartridge being heated or pressurized.

Bring thrill to your classroom or competition with CO₂ dragsters! Dragsters are an exciting method to teach the design process. Students design a prototype and then produce an actual CO₂-powered dragster and race it!

Kits and packs are available in Fusion, balsa wood, and basswood. All three blanks are officially approved by the Technology Student Association (TSA) for use in CO₂ dragster competition!

 

Storage boxes are included in single kits but are sold separately for 50-packs.

 

Our illustrated, self-directed student workbook holds the students’ attention as they learn step-by-step automotive-design processes, incorporating both English and Metric measurement. The CO₂ Dragster User Guide is available for print here, or you can download a digital copy for free here.

 

NOTE: This kit is a replacement of the Metric and LSRAV Dragster packs.

Students use this kit to complete an exciting vehicle design project that culminates in a race competition, much like the Metric Dragster activity. Wide body blanks (3" x 3" x 12") allow for car designs that are closer to production-car proportions.

More emphasis can be placed on car styling and learning the industrial design process than on car performance. The activity can be a follow-up to a clay car design project (clay materials and tools sold separately).

Realistic wheels have removable hubs that can be painted. Kit includes predrilled balsa wood body blank, CO2 cartridge, long axles, four wheels, four brass washers, screw eyes, sandpaper, straw for axle tubes, and instructions. Requires a drill, coping saw, wood file or rasp, finish, and a race system, sold separately.

The most affordable package we offer for starting a CO₂ dragster activity, it features the EZ Build Dragster – ideal for schools that don’t have standard power or hand tools and everything you need to race!

 

Requires a screwdriver and white glue, sold separately.

Description

Metric drag racing is an excellent way to motivate students while they design, construct, and race their own CO₂ dragsters. This Getting Started package includes everything you need to launch your students’ program: materials to build and finish 50 student dragsters.

Our illustrated, self-directed student workbook holds the students’ attention as they learn step-by-step automotive-design processes. The CO₂ Dragster User Guide is available for print here, or you can download a digital copy for free here.

An inexpensive way to introduce dragsters into your curriculum, this package offers enough materials to build 50 dragsters and the equipment to race them.

Requires a drill, coping saw, wood rasp or file, ruler, scissors, and finish, sold separately.

Quickly set up and race in the classroom with the EZ Track Raceway. The track comes with 20 one-meter high-strength PVC sections that easily slide together with joints that slightly elevate the track off the ground. Use the 20 sections to create a dual-lane setup or one long lane to race down. Race dragsters, mousetrap vehicles, bottle racers, solar cars, and more. When the racing is finished, the track quickly disassembles and can be stacked for storage. Compatible with the EZ Start Raceway, Impulse G3 Race System, and more.

Safety is a concern for any teacher who builds and launches solid-fuel rockets. The LaunchGuard System provides a safe and reliable means of launching model rockets.

Students launch rockets by pressing a button on the Launch Module. When the supervisor (or teacher) presses and holds the button on the Supervisor Module, the system is live and the student can launch. Or the teacher can substitute a special “launch key” for the Supervisor Module. When the key is plugged into the student’s Launch Module, the system is live and ready for launch.

 

The launchpad is made from sturdy plastic, has an adjustable launch rod, and comes with the standard 1/8" diameter x 31" rod. It also accepts a 3/16" diameter x 31" rod for larger rockets (3/16" rod sold separately). The modules are made of rugged aluminum. The Supervisor Module uses six AA batteries (included) and has a 15-foot cord to keep students at a safe distance.

 

The LaunchGuard System includes the Launchpad and Launch Commander, which can also be ordered individually.

Get the green light to race CO2 dragsters – even with a budget on the brakes. The Pitsco Education EZ Start Raceway is designed to make dragster activities easy and affordable. It comes with the EZ Start Gate and EZ Finish Gate, floor anchors, monofilament line, track hardware, detectors, and a power adapter. Lining up cars and launching them with the Start Gate is a simple operation, and the Finish Gate indicates the winner with a blinking light. The system works on a floor track or the FasTrak elevated racetrack, sold separately. It is made of durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to last for years.

Count down to fun while learning the basics of solid-fuel rocketry. This package pulls together materials for 50 student rockets, a launching system, an altitude finder, five rocket fin holders, and the Solid-Fuel Rocket video. Engines and igniters will ship USPS ground only. If your order contains additional items, they will be shipped separately via our normal carrier, ground only. Requires scissors, ruler, sponge, finish such as paint, and white glue, sold separately.

The Pitsco Water Rockets - Getting Started Package is the would-be rocket scientist’s dream. This Getting Started package includes everything you need to get your class “out of this world” through bottle rockets: materials for 30 student rockets, a demonstration rocket, and launch equipment. Requires plastic bottles, cool-melt glue gun and glue, scissors, and tape, sold separately.

Building and experimenting with these simple rockets is the perfect way to introduce students to rocketry. And they’ll learn a bevy of physics principles in the process!
