Ive noticed the Dr Rockets site is down. Are they out of business? Are the closures compatible with Rouse-tech? I have tons of Dr Rockets cases from 29mm to 54mm and would hate not to be able to get parts for them.

What grease is everyone using these days for the motor reloads? Ive lost my grease along with all my small hardware parts and cant remember what the name of it is. It came in a green tube.

Thanks, Doug

Yes, they are compatible. All AT compatible threaded motor cases are.

Grease-wise, I use regular automotive grease for motors smaller than L and Dow 111 for L’s and above (not that I’ve flown any M’s yet). Most of the heavy hitters I know use Dow 111.

I personally like Slick 50. Cleans up easier and works great.

In answer to your questions – Dr. Rocket is pretty much done for? though their web page works for me http://www.drrocket.com/

Rouse-Tech / Monster Motors are compatible… I will (hopefully) fly mix and match this weekend…

I must of hit the wrong link or mistyped something because it works now.
Phone number has been disconnected and a few links dont work.

its seem like people have DrRocket in there cases, but if you were to go buy a case now it most likely will come from Rouse-tech…. you will be rare to find a real aerotech case these days too….. but all the closures work for any of the motors
