Regardless, ThunderRoc used an ST-16/BT-60 tube, which has a diameter of 1.637". It was one of the Centuri releases that used predominantly Estes parts after the merger (Nose cone is PNC-60AH). ThunderRoc appeared in the Centuri catalogs from 1980-83, but '82 is the easiest to read on available online material. I've also provided a link to the instructions from JimZ's site.

http://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/centuri/cen5340.pdf
All three of these sources list the T-Roc's diameter as 1.64".
Hope this is helpful!
