AP (Air-Powered) Bottle Racer Launcher

AP (Air-Powered) Bottle Racer Launcher

SKU: SKU:38787

A Pitsco Exclusive

Pressurized air in a bottle – long part of an exciting option for rocketry – now goes horizontal to power car racing!

The AP Bottle Racer Launcher features a double-launching mechanism, so you attach one air pressure source to race two bottle rocket cars side by side for 30 feet or more, depending on the air pressure used. Just attach the nozzles on the cars, insert them into the quick-connect launch pods, apply air pressure, and press a valve to launch.

A release valve prevents using more than 50 pounds of pressure.

Launching requires a tire pump and bottle racers, sold separately. Caution: Use bottles for only carbonated beverages with this launcher (no water bottles).
