Alrighty folks, it's time! Drop your favorite rocket motors that are currently available for under $100. Please no Wildman club prices.

I know stock is tough, but we'll include any motors that are currently technically in production, so feel free to throw CTI in there, too.

All Aerotech for me. I’ve not flown anything else. I-500 DMS J-270 DMS I-600R - love this motor. Also G-80s are pretty killer. I think you can buy 4 for 100 bucks!

I600R, I435T, I357T for I class motors. H148R, H250G, H165R, H238T, H128W for H class motors. The H class motors are all class 1 legal as well.

CTI H152 is pretty darn flexible for 3" and lighter 4" rockets. It's kind of become the one I keep a couple of in my motor box that will work in a variety of rockets. When I can get them of course. Besides, I like the pretty blue flame.

In 38 its gotta be the J350, I600, I500, I284, I357 and H550. In 29 its the H268 and H220 for me. I also like the bonus burn time on the G25. The G80 is always a safe bet and the G64 is my go to for almost any mid power flight. The new F52 classic goes pretty hard as well.

Cant go wrong with a I600, H550, I500, or anything 29mm. If we are being literal, The j350 is technically under $100 being $95.

The J420R list price at $95, and available from Balsa Machining as a preorder for $72… a solid motor, really puts my SBR Diablo through a stress test when I’ve flown it with one, my 2” Frenzy loves it, an all around awesome 38mm motor. Of course, the ubiquitous J350W is the same price, and is a classic motor for obvious reasons. I also love the 29mm DMS H115DM and H195NT, or the I205W…. All three are well below $100 at list price, and even cheaper if purchased through the BMS preorder option. And all are great motors for the Estes PSII line (with some minor structural mods, of course!), although my PSII Nike Smoke flies on the H115 stock, with no mods…

At AirFest 2024 I fell in love with RED motors…. Favorite are I215R and J420R!

Just got my L2 Saturday with a Warlock on a J425R. But it's $103 so I can't pick that. So motors I would go for is the J500G, J340M, I280DM, I600R and J500G. For smaller motors G80, H250, H115, H550.

While learning/tweaking 2-staging my two practice birds are the dark star jr and terrier/bbx or terrier/sandhawk. If I get lazy during initial solo test flights I throw in the I500T. And my goto booster for staged flights is the I500T. So that motor has flown with me 6 to 7 times this year. Love that motor. Plenty punchy & T:W for 38mm staging.

I1299 and I59 are both awesome motors. H550 is a good one. I327 is a fun one. If you get a good one, the I297SK sounds awesome. But all the small CTI skids have sucked lately, or at least I've gotten pretty unlucky. H399 is a fun one too. The 29-6gXl loads are all fun too. I'll be honest, when I first saw this, so many motors popped into my head only to discover what's under $100 in my head is most certainly not under $100 anymore. I'm going to be that guy though and say K555BG or K777SP. I think they're technically the largest motors you can get under $100 currently, and they're pretty freaking awesome. I've actually never flown any of the contrail 54s and 75s myself, but I've seen them. I fly RATT, so if I could say K240, I would (it was $40 when it was in production). Friend of mine flew a short 54mm contrail J (I forget which one). It didn't have the cool "hybrid sound", but it did sound way larger than it was. If I only heard it, I would have guessed it was a mid size L motor. Those are $55 each. The 48" full K's and the 75mm 36" K I listed are $90. And all contrail hybrids are still in production. Of course there's still more than reload price to hybrids, so maybe it's slightly cheating.

I've gotta go J350 and I600 because they are like the classics. other than that, I pick i500, H550, and the I180 (because of no hazmat)

Neutronium

It's gotta be the I1299 for me. There's nothing that feels quite as violent as it.

RocketMan

My current go to motors are the H195T, H283ST, H550ST, I205W, I140W, and I500T.
