Description

Riptide Deluxe set with everything you need including the motors!

With the Riptide model rocket kit there is no glue, no paint, no waiting! With our Deluxe Riptide set you can be into the air within a half hour of ripping off the wrapping paper! Fly it three times before needing more motors. 

Our Deluxe set includes 3 motors, some wadding and 4x Duracell intense AA batteries. These are not present in the standard starter set offered by Estes elsewhere. 

Getting started in rocketry couldn't be easier... the rocket is rugged, pre-assembled, decorated in a lovely shade of blue and ready for launch. The Riptide can undertake many repeated missions as long as you take care of the rather fragile recovery system by using LOTS of wadding. We toss in some wadding to get you going.

Punch a hole in the atmosphere with the Riptide Launch Set! This Estes rocket launcher contains almost everything you need for hours of high-flying fun. This no-assembly, shiny beauty is crafted by specially-trained artisans to give you a top-quality beginners’ rocket. The Riptide at 18 inches tall is an aerodynamic bullet full of features like:

  • Cool blended, blue body tube
  • Highly reflective, blue chrome-colored fins and nose cone
  • 18 inches tall or 45.7 cm.
  • Pre-assembled and ready for lift-off in just minutes
  • Included 3-pack of B4-4 Rocket motors (Most Riptide starter sets don't include motors like ours!)
  • Included sufficient suitable wadding for 3 initial flights to protect your parachute (essential).
  • Batteries for launch controller included too!

3, 2, 1, lift off and rip through the sky with your own ready to fly Riptide Launch Set!

The Riptide rocket assembles in just minutes and requires Estes engines for the launch. Start with B4-4 engine for the first flight. Then, proceed with B6-4 for subsequent launches.

This set can reach cloud topping heights of 675 ft. (206 m) on Estes C6-5 engine using the Estes launch pad and launch controller. With all the parts you need for your launch included, just add the engines and you'll be ready for the launch site in less than an hour.  Requirements for this Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Riptide Launch Set, which are sold separately, includes –

  • Building Tools and Construction Materials
  • Finishing Supplies
  • Estes A, B or C Engines
  • Batteries for Launch Controller


Aside from the excitement and entertainment the Riptide Launch Set provides, an easy-to-assemble rocket instantly draws people in since the launch happens fast. Any rocket set from Estes, teaches kids the basics of propulsion, flight, and aerodynamics. And with an easy-to-assemble beginner rocket like Estes Riptide 1403, kids of all ages get instantly encouraged to think about how rockets work and fly it themselves. One of our most popular kits of all time!
