I plan on reporting this with Estes and filing with NAR. I have a single engine from the 3x pack I purchased from AC Supply Co Video footage and high-speed photography shows engine malfunction immediately after successful ignition charge. 8x engine cluster setup, with 5x out of 8x malfunction. 1x out of 8x did not ignite Remaining 2x out of 8x had nominal ignition I purchased 3x packs of 3x motors. (total of 9x motors)
