Dragster HyperPod DLX

==Description==
The Dragster HyperPod DLX was one of three motorized HyperPods that debuted in 2005 under the AcceleRacers series. Models were loaded into the set from the top and activated a switch that directed power to a motor that propelled the set at a high speed. This set required three “C”-sized alkaline batteries for operation.
In 2006, the Dragster HyperPod DLX was retooled, renamed, and released in a light green color without any AcceleRacers branding. Small parts were removed and replaced with intake vents on the sides, rear, and engine.
