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.

Worth the purchase price, which included FEDEX shipping. Amazing packaging to tolerate ground transportation's risk mitigation. Small parts fell off the island due to original glue's brittleness (likely cyanoacrylate type). Vendor service was excellent from shipping notification to arrival.

It was -4*C but we where able to test out the amount of lead and do a short test run just before all the snow came! The only modification I intend to make is a loose bow thruster that I can easily mount in the front, under the boat to be able to ride it in smaller ponds. This great model was worth the two year wait!WELL DONE MOTION RC!�

As usual from Motion RC, the stuff arrived immediately. The packaging was excellent and only a small antenna needed a few drops of glue. The boat was launched in a friend's swimming pool days after arrival. Everything worked great but the turning radius is relatively large so I will mount a small bow thruster under the hull to be able to drive even in smaller ponds. It is a lot of money, but the boat is not expensive in terms of build quality. I can warmly recommend it to all ship enthusiasts! Tomas Leijon Sweden
