The Wind Powered Racer by 4M invites kids to step into engineering mode: discover how propellers generate thrust, then build a sleek, aerodynamic vehicle using the included parts — racer body, motor holder, motor, wheels, propeller, battery case and hardware.

With illustrated step-by-step instructions, young builders learn how a propeller works, attach axles and wheels, connect the motor and power source (4 × AAA batteries required, not included) and install the propeller for launch.

It’s designed to teach the same aerodynamic and propulsion principles used in jet and rocket-powered vehicles, offering both educational value and high-speed fun. Adult supervision is required, particularly since the propeller should not be touched while powered.

• Age Grade: 10+
• Product Dimensions: 14.69" L x 2.56" W x 11.14" H
• Material: Plastic
• Play Pattern: Hands-on STEM play
• Skill Development: STEM learning & fine-motor skills
• Care Instructions: Store all small parts, screws and accessories in the packaging or a labeled container when not in use to prevent loss. Wipe the racer body and wheels with a soft, dry cloth; avoid water exposure, which may damage the motor or battery case. Remove batteries when not in use for extended periods to prevent corrosion and preserve component life. Use only on smooth indoor surfaces for best performance and to avoid unnecessary wear on parts. Keep away from sand, dirt and moisture, which can interfere with the gears, wheels and propeller. Handle the propeller carefully — do not spin by hand while motor is running and keep hair, fingers and loose clothing away when powered on. Adult supervision recommended during assembly and battery installation.
