    Nicer than the older Mean Machine

    I haven’t built this newer version of the Mean Machine but I did build the early version from the 70’s. This new kit has a couple neat features that if it flies like my earlier kit will make this one of the coolest rockets on the pad.

    Great Customer Service...AND a Mean Machine!

    Our MEAN MACHINE suffered a CATO at launch. ESTES stood by their product, and offered us a new pack of motors following a very straightforward proof-of-incident report. We were delighted to receive replacement motors, but we were even more delighted to receive a new MEAN MACHINE, especially as we were readily able to restore the original to full service! That type of service is above and beyond expectations. We look forward to an upcoming drag race between our battered veteran and its new "cousin."
