On the Estes website, I could find the Neon Tiger but not the Solo. They look the same but the Solo packaging list it as an inch longer (25.3" vs 24.3") than the Neon Tiger. But, using my unpublished, and hopefully calibrated, Stanley 25' Leverlock 3-way blade tape measurer and eyeballing it (i get my eyes calibrated every year), the Solo is actually closer to the 24.3" length of the Neon Tiger. Comparing part numbers on the instructions, everything is the same except the launch lug and body tubes (no part number provided for the Solo BT). Another example of changing the paint and calling it something else. I'm surprised the auto industry hasn't caught onto that.......
