Overview

The Estes C5-3 engine means 50% increase in maximum thrust over a standard C engine and the punch you need to propel those heavier rockets off the pad. The Super C is a great choice for larger birds and for payload rockets, like competition egg-lofters, that need that extra push.

C5-3…Rocks!!!!

Absolutely a great powerful engine! Extremely reliable and powerful enough to provide a dependable flight! This engine delivers an incredible amount of thrust to propel just about any rocket to amazing heights! I highly recommend the great Estes C5-3 engine to consistently provide reliability & efficiency for amazing flights for Estes rockets that demand this engine that Elon Musk would be proud of!!!!

C5-3: Great engine!

Used the C5-3 on my 3rd flight of my " Boosted Bertha" 2nd stage. The C5-3 on the 3rd flight put it almost out of sight! My Grandson who launched it shouted out loud when the 2nd stage ignited. You could hear it on the ground! The smoke trail was easy to see. ' Chute deployed as advertised. Unfortunately our Boosted Bertha was grabbed by a rocket eating tree as it floated down to earth. No chance of getting it back. :-(
