Are these nice motor casings? As far as quality and reputation? I received these as a gift a couple years back for a Public Missiles Phobos i was building. A 38/240, 38/360 and a 38/480.
They have never been flow as i dont have my Cert 1 but plan on getting it with these casings.
So what is the lowest motor rating i could achieve using these casings and also what is the highest? Im assuming with the 38/480 i could build a I motor out of it? What would what the 38/240 produce fully loaded?

Here is a pic of the 38 casing motors from the aerotech catalog

The pic is broken

Got it

Thank you!

YES, those are super nice cases. Not only do you have a large choice of motors for them, the cases themselves are gorgeous! Dr. Rocket does not make cases anymore so you have something desirable. I have not seen that anno pattern before on his cases. Really nice man.

Very nice cases! You may want to consider selling those since they're more valuable as "collectibles" and then you may be able to get another set of cases as well as reloads. Possibly ask about trades in the Yard Sale section.

Those are junk. I'll offer you $40, and 'm doing you a favor really.

I don't know what to belive here...

$40?! You are being -much- too kind. I'll give you $30, obviously the anodizing is....damaged...

You guys are ridiculous

Sorry, we're just messin with ya. I personally don't know much about them, but like stated earlier, they may be worth something more as a collector to the right person. I'll agree, that anodizing is very unique..

If they are new and never used the cases are worth at least $160 to the right buyer.

By the sounds of the reactions here, that sounds like a good idea. Someone else had suggested the yard sale section, that might be an option as well. Sell those to offset the price of another set?

Or, you could always put them on Ebay with the other delusional sellers and put a $763 price tag on them lol

lol, or just keep em and buy a new set. I rather do like the looks of these and would hate to sell em

That's what I would do. Those cases are too pretty to risk losing. I'd also put them in some case protectors to keep them from hurting each other.

They're perfectly fine casings. Use them. IMO the "collector" value is whatever someone will pay, and honestly, there are not enough "deep pockets" in this small hobby to make any hobby rocket components "valuable" above the current list price.
