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.

Great Kit!

I just recently built this kit and it looks great! My only complaint is the fins. They should have been in one piece instead on three.

Lack of engines

5 stars for the kit. Estes gets 1 star for engines constantly being out of stock.

Fun build but tough to get off the ground!

Requires a bit of experience building kits to make this straight and true and well reinforced at the stress points. However, the kit went together well and had a fun time building it with my kids. Launching is tough due to the backorder of engines for the larger rockets, so either have to use expensive composite motors or wait until Estes provides more E & F stock.
