The Story
The BT-80 Body Tube gives experienced rocketeers a larger canvas for building rockets with more presence, more payload space, and more design flexibility. Made from sturdy spiral-wound kraft paper, this 23.5 inch tube is a dependable starting point for custom airframes, replacement builds, and rockets designed to stand out on launch day.
Designed for Bigger Rocket Builds
With its large BT-80 size, this body tube is ideal for creating impressive single-stage rockets or extended designs using multiple tubes. Pair it with BT-80 Tube Couplers, PN 3178, when you want additional body length for payload sections, egg-lofting layouts, or a taller custom rocket profile.
Ready for 24 mm and 29 mm Configurations
The BT-80 Body Tube can be configured for Estes 24 mm or 29 mm engines when used with the proper motor mount components. Builders can also pair it with the Laser Cut Ring Set, PN 068254, to create a solid foundation for larger power setups and more ambitious flight plans.
A Strong Choice for Payload and Competition Projects
For hobbyists and TARC teams, the BT-80 Body Tube offers the size and strength needed for egg-lofting rockets, payload bays, and competition-inspired designs. Finish the profile with an NC-80K or NC-80B nose cone, then bring your own design to life with the stability, scale, and performance potential that BT-80 projects are known for.
