    Older (Cobra Labeled) Estes Motors

    Yes, I am authorized to ship motors.

    Okay, now that we got that out of the way let's get started. I have a number of Estes Cobra labeled motors that have been sitting in a basement here in the Pacific Northwest for a number of years. I've sold a number of packs at local launches, but I am not selling them fast enough to make room for new "stuff."

    I am asking $4.50 a pack for the following:

    1/4A3-3T
    1/2A3-2T
    1/2A3-4T
    A3-4T
    A10-0T
    A10-3T
    A8-3 - 1 pack left
    B4-6 - 2 packs left. These packs predate even the Cobra labeled motors.

    I am asking $5.00 a pack for the following:

    B4-2
    B4-4
    B6-2
    C6-3
    C6-0

    I am asking $6.00 a pack for the following. The C11 motors do not have the Cobra label but they are about 10 to 12 years old.

    C11-0
    C11-3
    C11-7

    I am asking $8.00 a pack for the following:

    B8-5 SOLD OUT
    C5-3 SOLD OUT

    I have the following D-motors:

    D12-0 - $7
    D12-3 - $7 SOLD OUT
    D11-P - $9 (1 pack left)

    I have the following bulk packs:

    1/2A3-2T - $25
    1/2A3-4T - $25
    A8-5 - $30
    C6-0/B6-6 - $40

    I'll sell what I have on a first-come first served basis. Please send me an email (not a PM) with your wish list and zip code and I will calculate shipping for you and send you a total. Shipping is by USPS Parcel Post. I accept PayPal, check, or money order.

    Sales tax applies to orders delivered in WA state.

    - Rich

    New Additions and Price Reductions

    I added a few new motors and reduced the price of the C's and D's. I am also enclosing a couple of pictures of the stash. Note the B4-6 motors are even older than the Cobra motors.

    Got my D12-7s today. They were shipped from a hobby shop parcel post and seemed as properly labeled as anything I got from hobbylinc. I'd recommend buying if anyone was interested but skeptical.

    Going to bump this since I was very happy with my order. Came very well packed with all proper labeling. Packs were in great shape; mine were all dated in the late 90s and looked like they just came from the factory. If you need engines at a good price, don't hesitate to buy.

    Not all the packs have that "factory fresh" look noted by CenturiKid. The A8-3, B8-5, and C5-3 packs are dog-eared. Some of the remaining D-packs are as well.

    I love the internet! All the whining and discontent of real life, minus the arrest record of administering 2x4s to the face.

    As far as what I have for sale, Estes "D" and below are approved for import into Canada. But I think you need an import permit. Do you have one?

    I am friends with a Canadian hobby dealer and can get the specifics if you are interested.

    Import permit I don't have, but still interested if the hobby dealer can be a go-between.

    How may packs of the C5's do you have?

    An import permit runs C $160. So for the seven packs of C5 motors that I have it is not worth it. Unless you REALLY need them.

    SH*T. I'm going to have to pass then. I was really curious about these motors (Thrust profile looked interesting) but at that price I can buy a whack of Estes or Quest C6's and be set for at least 2 launch seasons.

    Do you mean a bulk pack of 1/2A's? I don't have any 1/4A bulk packs in the list. Shipping on a single 1/2A bulk pack will run you $5.55.

    Two boxes of Estes motors received in good order, very reasonable shipping, and everything properly (and legally) packaged and documented.

    Two thumbs up!
