RC Tractor Pull Challenge (5-pack) with Pulling Sled

Use this interactive RC Tractor Pull Challenge to explore tractor systems and structures and experiment with force and motion, friction and gravity, and other STEM concepts. As students assemble each of the five tractors, they can experiment with variables for different pulling outcomes. This RC Tractor Pull Challenge Kit includes five radio-controlled remotes and one pulling sled. Additionally, the included CAD drawing enables students to 3D print their own tractor cover. The included standards-based curriculum provides five to seven hours of classroom instruction.
