This is my ultimate launch controller.
It is a modified Estes Pro Command Controller.
I bought it used, it was fully functional but a bit scratched up.
So I dis-assembled it and sanded it down, including sanding off the raised lettering.
I re-painted it gloss black and custom made decals on my Brother printer.
Then a few shots of matte clear and it was ready to re assemble.
I did not like the big spool that attached to the bottom for the cable, and the cable was only 25 feet.
So I installed a 1/4 inch stereo jack in the door for the igniter/plug compartment.
I bought a coil of 50 feet of landscape cable and added the plug at one end and clips at the other.
I love the self contained power source 2 x 7.2 volt RC car batteries!
It will light almost anything I throw at it.

Does yours have the two charging plugs on the bottom? If so, do you charge the internal batteries using these two plugs or do you have to remove the batteries.

I like the 50' cord and the 1/4 in plug. I'll make the changes to mine.

I really like the all in one launch controller.

Yes it has the two charging plugs, but I don't use them.
