Everyone builds and flies the family of Der Red Max rockets. Make sure your own collection includes our 3 inch diameter, 29 inch tall version! Includes 29mm engine mount with no forward retainer ring allowing a wide variety of engine choices.

Overview

The Der Big Red Max rocket has been a classic favorite for years, and now you can experience it in a smaller 3-inch diameter version! Here are some of the key features and benefits:

  • Long slow lift-offs. The Red Max is known for its impressive liftoffs, and the smaller 3-inch diameter version delivers the same performance. Imagine 3.5 seconds of smoke and fury on an Estes F15-4 motor!
  • Fun to build. Building the Red Max is just as fun as flying it. The rocket features thru-the-wall fins that make assembly and alignment easy, while also giving it extra strength.
  • Durable construction. With its sturdy design, the Red Max can withstand multiple launches, so you can fly it over and over again.
  • Special parachute. Only Red Max rockets come with their own special printed Skull & Bones 18 inch parachute. Thus, adding to the rocket's unique and fun design.

Whether you're an experienced rocket enthusiast or a beginner, the Red Max rocket is a great choice for your next launch.
