Overview

Four-Engine Cluster Performance That Stands Apart

The Super Salamander gives retailers something genuinely different to offer experienced model rocketeers. Its four 18 mm engine mounts transform every countdown into a clustered launch experience, delivering the sound, smoke, and visual impact that make multi-engine rockets such an exciting progression beyond traditional single-engine models.

With 13 recommended engine configurations spanning matched four-engine sets and mixed two-plus-two combinations, customers have multiple ways to explore the rocket's performance. Depending on the configuration, the Super Salamander can reach altitudes of up to 920 feet.

A Strong Step-Up Kit for Advanced Rocketeers

At 36.9 inches long and 2.6 inches in diameter, the Super Salamander has the size and substance customers expect when they are ready for a more ambitious project. Its advanced-level construction, laser cut balsa wood fins, and four-engine cluster reward careful assembly while giving experienced builders a clear reason to move up from simpler kits.

High-Impact Design for the Shelf and Launch Field

The Super Salamander makes an immediate impression with its sleek dark body, vivid green fin pattern, and contrasting orange accent. That distinctive styling gives the model strong visual appeal in-store and online, while its large size and exposed four-engine cluster provide an easy conversation starter for customers browsing for their next challenge.

Multiple Engine Configurations Create More Ways to Sell

The Super Salamander supports 13 recommended four-engine cluster configurations, giving customers multiple ways to experience its performance while creating natural opportunities for repeat engine purchases. From matched four-engine sets to mixed two-plus-two combinations, the range of compatible configurations gives retailers an easy way to merchandise the rocket alongside popular Estes A, B, and C engines.
