Estes Rubicon Diameter?

[MetMan]

Is the Estes Rubicon body tube 3.2" and not 3" (Big Daddy) diameter? These two could have made an impressive kitbash!

It is 3.2" (BT101?).

If it's a 3.2" body tube it's a unique new size for Estes.

A BT-101 is 3.938" O.D.

A BT-100 is 3.744"

Looks like 3.125 or 3 1/4" + / - to me.

Sounds like it could be BT-70.

BT-70 is 2.217". This must be an all new size.

I predict that we will call it BT90.

Then what should we call the Big Daddy tube, which is about 3" OD?

 

[shreadvector]

You are correct.

That's what I get for typing in without fully thinking...

They listed the big daddy as Bt-300 or something simmular

have yet to measure the bt on the rubicon, but i can say this.. the wall isnt near as thick as the wall on the tube of my Big Daddy.

i'll put the calipers on it when i open the package.
