USS Fletcher 1/72 Scale, 1580mm (62") USA Destroyer from Bancroft - RTR - BNC1003-003
Conquer the waves with Bancroft, the world’s premier RC Boat brand available exclusively at Motion RC! Bancroft’s line of RC vessels is as vast as the seven seas, specializing in high scale RC Warships, Yachts, Speedboats, and more! Equally at home on your mantle with its included display stand or sailing on calm lakes or pools, Bancroft vessels are made of high-quality materials including ABS, fiberglass, real wood, and photo-etched brass and steel parts.
The Fletcher class was the largest class of Destroyer built by the United States during World War II. Renowned as the backbone of the US Pacific Fleet, some went on to serve during the Korean War and into the Vietnam War.
The long-range Fletcher-class ships performed every task of a destroyer, from anti-submarine warfare and anti-aircraft warfare to surface action. Capable of covering vast distances and bring massive firepower to bear, these destroyers served almost exclusively in the Pacific Theater during World War II, sinking thousands of tons of enemy shipping including 29 Imperial Japanese Navy submarines.
Bancroft’s Elite Series of warships continues with the 1/72 scale Battleship USS Fletcher. Display this museum piece on your mantle or astonish your RC boat club with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) RC battleship. Over 600 total parts and 250 man-hours of work is already completed for you. Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the vessel can be sailing within minutes of arrival, using the included 2.4Ghz radio transmitter and included 2s Li-Ion battery. Only four AA batteries and minimal final assembly is required before your Destroyer's service begins!

Super Detail Out-Of-The-Box Stunning scale details including torpedo tubes, anti-aircraft emplacements, searchlights, and authentic rigging are completely finished out-of-the-box. |
Easy Access Electronics Bay Quickly access the interior hull by lifting the superstructure with one hand. The cavernous interior houses the two 550 sized brushed motors, ESC, and 2.4Ghz receiver. |
Pin-Sized Details Every surface of the Bancroft 1/72 scale Fletcher Destroyer is painted and detailed. Molded parts, 3D printed parts, fine synthetic rigging, fiberglass assemblies, and complex brass Photo-Etched (PE) parts combine to create an outstanding scale model that is also fully functional as an RC boat! |
Removable Superstructure Despite being covered in scale details, the entire superstructure remains very easy to service and is removable in seconds with one hand. Quickly access the interior of the hull to change the battery or monitor the quad-motor power system. |
Photo-Etched Brass Parts Some of the Photo-Etched (PE) parts are thinner than a pin, and some of the details are only visible under a magnifying glass! The durable PE railings can be gently bent back to shape like a paper clip if minor bends are caused during normal transport or handling. |
Exceptional Scale Realism The Bancroft 1/72 scale Fletcher Destroyer strikes the perfect balance between scale realism and practical everyday use. Virtually maintenance-free, this RC warship is equally at home on the shelf on its included display stand, or cruising your lake, pond, or marina. |
Positionable Turrets Each main turret can be manually rotated for display in the position of your choosing. DIY modelers may modify the turret base with a servo for remotely controlled movement. The Bancroft 1/72 Fletcher Destroyer has lots of space for DIY upgrades such as servo-driven turrets, LED lighting, and a smoke system. |
Dual-Screw Drive Twin 550 brushed motors are coupled to stainless steel drive shafts. A waterproof steering servo and large rudder enables this Destroyer to maneuver in tight spots at full speed. |

Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.
Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.
