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.
Captivating military observers and historians since its creation, the German battleship Bismarck was a feared warship that threatened to change the course of World War II in the Atlantic. Famed for sinking the British HMS Hood, the Bismarck was ultimately hunted down and sunk by a massive Allied flotilla involving more than 30 Allied vessels and several aircraft units. Even after its demise, the Bismarck continues to live on in the annals of military naval history.
Bancroft’s Elite Series of warships continues with the 1/200 scale Battleship Bismarck. Display this museum piece on your mantle or astonish your RC boat club with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) RC battleship. Hundreds of parts and 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, 2s battery, and charger. Only four AA batteries and minimal assembly is required to set sail!

I'm building a local version of the Bismarck, scale 1/200, origanally it was sold in our market to be a static model but It could be also transformed in a R/C version. Problem is that it was launched in our market 10 years ago n unfortunatelly the spare parts are not more available. I have all part necessary to conclude it, unless the parts to to transfor it on a R/C. In this sense, I'd like to know if you can sell me all this part separately, the engines, axis, propellers, rudders, etc..... The radio, servos n battery are not needed, I can fiund it here easylly, but may be I'll need the "esc" too for the engine.... is that possible ? If positive, ple let me know the price for all this parts ! Looking forward in hearing from you My best regards, Paulo

Its been too rough. I had a problem with my esc, which was promptly replaced. The ship has nice details and when now, i operate it on land, seems to function well. Its a bit small. I wish I got the 1:150 scale--but these are quite expensive. Overall: plus.
