Estes D and E motors best prices

Hobbylinc has fairly decent motor pricing.

IIRC, about $8.50 for D's and $11.50 for E's.

Wherever you buy, watch the shipping costs on motors. They can be high.

Do you have a local mom & pop hobby store? If not, Hobby Lobby is about as good as D's $$ get.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (or a shill for Great Lakes), D engines are $7.99 & Estes E engines are $10.99 & shipping is fast, no HAZMAT fees, & only $7.00 at Great Lakes Hobbies:

-- Richard "broken record, but not a shill" Hickok

has D engines for $7.37 and E engines for $10.72, and no shipping on orders over $75 (which is only 20-30 engines worth.) The one time I ordered from them they were shipped quickly. They have C6-5 bulk packs < $40, 3 packs for $5.02.

Has any one found D11-P or E9-P yet? Happy Meal needs more motors!

No D11-P's or E9-P's in any area stores, but Hobbylinc has E9-P's in stock.

Tons on the shelf at Hobby People (many locations). No mail order.

Why not call Estes and ask them who they sell them to?

You will probably need to find a 'real' hobby shop or online retailer and NOT a "craft store". Hobby shops would carry the R/C Glider that uses the plugged motors.

HobbyTown USA in Indianapolis has a bunch of E9-P motors.

acsupplyco may have them. They have prices listed. On their availability list, the don't say anything about them, but most engines are mentioned. And their availability list has both available, and non-available items, appropriately labeled.

Last time I ordered E motors I was told they were to big for USPS and had to go Fed EX with Hazmat. I only ordered two packs last time I made that mistake!!!!!!!!!!!

They have D motor 3paks for $6.85 They also have E motors but you need to get a quote. However, they ARE cheap prices on the E motors, I just forget what it was. Shipping is a flat $6.50.

Though I'm not aware whether they've changed their ways, Discount Hobby Center, in New York, had gotten many complaints here on RMR for being extremely slow with shipping, being difficult to contact, & having seemingly contrived stories about the reasons for delays if you ever could contact them. Having experienced this myself & getting "dicked around" with bizarre explanations, is the reason I don't do business with them anymore. Does anyone know if they've improved lately? That's one reason I stress fast shipping (in addition to great prices) when I recommend Great Lakes Hobbies to people. -- Richard "don't confuse 'em with Discount Rocketry, in California, which is a very reputable outfit" Hickok

I guess that's a good deal, if you have to do mail order but most local hobby shops sell the same pack for $9.99 without the shipping. Look for a local shop or wait until you travel to someplace that has one.
