My experience with all of the Bancroft RC Boats has been wonderful. They have excellent detail and the RC controls work extremely well. I have actually purchased the Bancroft boats for display because of their excellent detail. My interaction with MotionRC has been one of the best that I have experienced on the internet over the years. Quick to respond to questions, quick to ship, and first rate at resolving any issue. I thoroughly enjoy the videos of the product that I watch before placing any order. James is great! Thank you MotionRC!!

Great model of the "A" class of the Island Cass Coast Guard Cutter. I just wished that had customizable hull numbers and stirn names. Also the "COAST GUARD, Hill number and Coast Guard Shield is to high up on the hull, giving it a toy like appearance. Over all a great representation of the Island Cass Cutter.The one depicted is the USCGC VASHON built by Bollinger in Louisiana. She was home ported in Miami FL. She was chosen to be modified into a 123' cutter but after cracks in the hull appeared they broke her up for scrap. I haven't had the opportunity to put her in the water yet as I just received her yesterday. I look forward to enjoying myself at the helm of this ship.

The delivery was with me in 3 days instead of 7 days from Holland to Scotland. Every member of our club is impressed with the speed and stability on the water. Check it out on Facebook Dundee model boat club.this is my second Bancroft model. Keep up the great work.

Very well packed and shipped. No damage upon arrival. Exceptional scale detail and very well built. Ready to run right out of the box. I installed twin pack of 2S 5200 Lipo packs running in parallel with harness. This gives me much longer run times and worked well for ballast. Ran ship for the first time and work flawless. Very scale and at proper waterline with the two batteries. Very impressed with ship and has my highest recommendations!!
