"Der Red Max, A Goblin Sibling, One of the Easiest Estes Rocket For Mods"
champfluff
This rocket is awesome and I'm glad they brought (Max) back. Max has been modified by Estes 3 times, Der Red Max-Length @ 16.3, Der Big Red Max-Length @ over 24 and Mega Der Red Max-Length @ 40. I have seen just about every Mod and some were really impressive. Clustering 3x18mm's is the cheapest way on a standard Der Red Max, or Der Big Red Max to go with more bang for your buck. Simply line up the cluster motor mounts between the fins and include 3 engine retaining clips. I have seen 7x13mm's motors clustered, for an almost explosive launch, using 7xA10-3's, they are just tricky to wire. A 24mm motor mount is the easiest mod, just use epoxy when assembling. The BT-60 can except up to a 38mm, or a 29mm motor tube, but you will need plywood fins, with through tube extensions. Slotting your tube, full length tube couplers, for laminating to the interior of the BT-60. Appropriate plywood centering rings, improved nylon parachute, nylon, or Kevlar shock cord, swivels and an ejection baffle and 1/4 launch lugs, or rail buttons. It's going to see some altitude, so put a GPS tracker in the nosecone, with the extra added nose weight. What about a 2 stage Der Big Red Max ll?

"Great classic"
mhrdeadhead
The most stable flier in my fleet. Easy to build and finish. Those HUGE fins keep it straight and true, and a soft recovery had it land a mere inches from the launch pad.

classic estes, at its best i had this as a kid and it was a great flyer . i decided to get back into rocketry with my grandson and he loves it , we bought this kit and it is his favorite , my grand daughter showed interest and she wanted the same kit as her big brother but it had to be pink and purple , they want to fly rain or shine , this is a wonderful kit and it should be in everyones line up

Beautiful flyer, strait as an arrow. Fun and easy to build. One of my first since getting back into rockets after fifteen odd years. The only thing this rocket needs is a bigger engine! It only takes standard A B or C engines. Think I'll get another one and mod it to take E engines, then let the fun begin.

Information

The Der Red Max is a classic Estes model rocket and another of our most requested bring back models...and for good reason. Not only is this a uniquely decorated model, but this model performs as good as it looks. This is one of those model rockets that has a personality all its own!

Standing just a tad over 16 inches (41 cm) tall, the Max is one of our rockets that's a must have in your rocket arsenal. From the long, ballistic-shaped nose cone to the stubby fins and the truly unique decor, this rocket has attitude! Every launch with our standard engines will give you stellar flights over 700 feet (213 m). Recovery is accomplished with a colorful 18 inch (46 cm) 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 balsa fins for improved performance and has a waterslide decal set that replicates the original - including the totally cool skull and crossbones. Pick up a classic Der Red Max today and add it to your collection. You are sure to be the envy of all your model rocket buddies...until they get theirs.
