Default 1/45 Centuri Little Joe II

Can't believe this kit went for just $56.00 tonight, Wow! I had a bid of 55.00 but couldn't go any higher, just won a bid on a DJI Inspire 1 controller.

That LJII has been listed for over a week with a BIN price of $80. It was hard to believe it sat all that time without someone buying it. In past years (before the Estes re-issue), it would not have lasted more than a few minutes at that price before someone snatched it up.

This one had some wrinkling on the chrome body wrapper and it did detract from it some, but it was not too terribly bad. I didn’t need another, but at that final selling price, it was quite a deal.

I didn't see or know about it.
Would have gladly paid the $80.

Does anyone know what body tube will work as a replacement for the escape tower rocket on Estes 1/45 Little Joe II?

thanks

It is just slightly over ST-5/BT5 sized.
I don't know if a BT6 exists or not....

It should be 0.577" in diameter. The real thing is 26" so multiply that by 1/45.

The part number is 031948.

I'm at work so I can't tell you if they used a BT-5 (o.d. .541) or if they have a custom diameter for it.

It definitely is NOT a BT-5/ST-5. I checked mine. A 13mm engine has about 1mm clearance in it around the entire circumference of the motor.
