Model Forum / General / Rockets / December 2008What is a GOOD price for Estes engines?
As I mentioned before, I have a chance to buy LOTS of Estes engines. What is a good price for Estes engines (various types) and where do you buy them? Thanks >As I mentioned before, I have a chance to buy LOTS of Estes engines. > >What is a good price for Estes engines (various types) and where do >you buy them? > >Thanks Believe it or not, but WAL-MART actually sells them for a decent price, but usually they are heavily picked through. Where I live A's and B's are usually picked out first, leaving a lot of C's, they also have mini engines too. Even though I'm not a big fan of Wal-Mart, the last time I was in there they had A, B and C engines for about $3.00. This is for a flight pack of 3 engines which includes recovery wadding. I found some at a Target once for a little cheaper, but I think they were on sale to get rid of them and don't carry them any longer.

You have need to buy motors because of a large project such as a school program, and you need to find a source? Or you have a source and need to know what good prices are? For new motors, 5-6 bucks / pack for A-B-C is a pretty good price. 8-9$ for D's and 11-12$ for E's. I like www.acsupplyco.com . They sell Estes and cater to educators. If you already have a source, such as someone's large collection, and want to know what to pay...well, it depends. But 3 bucks a pack is a good number. If they're rare (eg, B14's, 1/2A3-0s', etc) , that could go up, but if they're ordinary A-B-C motors readily available at the hobby store, then 1-3 dollars per pack. Maybe start at 1$ and negotiate up with a max of 3$. I could be all wet, but that's my take on it. Doug .
