ESTES: Der Big Red Max Classic Model Rocket Kit

Thrilling Lift-Offs Every Time

Known for its slow, dramatic takeoffs, the Der Big Red Max does not disappoint. When powered with an Estes F15-4 motor, expect up to 3.5 seconds of roaring smoke and fire as this beast climbs skyward. The 29mm engine mount—with no forward retainer ring—allows a wide range of engine choices, giving you the flexibility to customize every launch experience.
