Description

The Der Red Max is a classic. A uniquely decorated model, this model performs as good as it looks and has a personality all its own!

Standing just a tad over 16 inches tall, the Max is one of our rockets that’s a must have in your rocket arsenal. Every launch with our standard engines will give you stellar flights over 500 feet. Recovery is accomplished with a colorful 18 inch preassembled parachute for safe landings.

In addition to retaining all of the great looks and flying qualities of the original, this new version now features laser cut wood fins for improved performance and has a waterslide decal set that replicates the original – including the totally cool skull and crossbones.

Classic rocket that’s LOTS of fun
The Der Red Max is probably one of my favorite Estes rockets ever. I cloned one a few years before the re-release of this version and I’m so glad they brought it back. The easy build, combined with it’s great flights, and the fun decor all make it a real crowd pleaser, both in the air and on the pad.

Fun to build and fly
This is one of those rockets you just have to have. Easy to build and a plastic nose cone, and the goofy/intimidating decals make this bad boy look great.
