will filling a starbucks straw with this fuel I made make a working bottle rocket?

So i just got a mortar and pestle today, so I ground up a c sized model rocket engine, 1 small firecracker, a “strobe light” and a sparkler into a fine powder. I capped one end of a straw very well, filled it with the powder, stuffed the open end with a fuse and 3 small wads of tissue paper and wrapped the straw with a layer or two of electrical tape. Will it fly? How well?

Master Vh-X5 RC Car?

I bought a Master Vh-X5 Rc car about 2 years ago with the intention of having a cheap gas powered RC car while about 3 weeks after bought it i ended up wrecking it and breaking a bunch of rear end parts a front shock tower and some other stuff. Its been sitting in my basement ever since and ive never had the opportunity to fix it now since its getting nice out ive decided to fix it and i need to find a store to get parts for it online. ive searched many places that sell RC car parts around my house but they dont have the parts i need. So if anyone has any idea where i can get parts online let me know thanks.
Tryed hobby shops they dont deal with this brand of car and cant get parts…

School project?

i am a second year machinist. And i picked my year end project to graduate. And it will be an rc car. I get to use 3 things. A body (A 99 Mustang Die Cast) cause I dont have metal thick enough to machine one. 2. A motor. 3. A remote system. Everything else will be built by hand. Including the rims. What I need help with is dimensions of the motor. Length, Width, and height. And exact measurement from th end of the shaft to the block of the motor. I want to use the biggest nitro motor thats out there for rc cars. The only reason I ask is because the closest hobby shop is 3 hours from me. And with school and work there is no time. Thanks for any information that you can give.
And any dimensions on a 2 speed gearbox for an rc would be helpful as well.
