Details

Never misfire again with Estes STARTECH™ Starters! Featuring the same trusted design rocketeers have relied on for decades, these upgraded starters now include a specially formulated chemical dip that reacts with the heat of the nichrome wire, creating a powerful burst of heat and pressure for reliable ignition every time. Includes 6 starters per pack.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned hobbyist, STARTECH™ Starters ensure your launches are smooth, safe, and dependable—keeping the spirit of Vern Estes’ original design alive while adding a modern boost to ignition technology.

Overview

Over 60 years ago, Vern Estes introduced the first commercially available model rocket motors—and with them, the Estes Starters. These simple yet reliable igniters became a cornerstone of rocketry, fueling safe launches for generations of hobbyists. Today, Estes continues that tradition with the all-new STARTECH™ Starters, designed to honor the original while pushing performance further than ever before.

Enhanced Ignition Technology

At the heart of STARTECH™ Starters lies a small but powerful innovation. The nichrome wire, responsible for heating the propellant, has been coated in a specially crafted chemical compound. When activated, this compound reacts instantly with the heat of the wire, creating a concentrated burst of heat and pressure that ensures fast, consistent ignition. The result? More reliable launches and fewer misfires.

Reliable Performance Every Time

Say goodbye to launch delays and failed ignitions. Whether you’re flying your first rocket or adding to a fleet of high-altitude performers, STARTECH™ Starters deliver the dependability you need to make every launch a success. Each pack includes six starters, giving you multiple flights of proven ignition technology.

Simple, Safe, and Effective

Just like the original design, STARTECH™ Starters are easy to use and built with safety in mind. They slot seamlessly into your Estes motors, making them the perfect companion for all your launches. Safe, efficient, and highly effective, they embody the perfect blend of tradition and innovation that Estes has been known for since 1958.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
