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!!

I am very pleased with my new PT596, it has a high level of detail and is of good size to transport. I have already added some extra details on it using actual photos of the original boat with navigational lighting. Being of decent size, allows modelers to add some serious detail work to make this boat a real treasure. I’m looking forward to many hours of fun on some local ponds

This boat came fast and no damage. The color was a nice o.d. olive military green. The esc performance was just fine with no over heating issues. The props were brass not plastic. Battery was included. No extra weight needed to add. I added army men(safari brand) looks great. Nice size boat and looks real scale at any speed. Had to pre drill openings for attaching guns and other accessories, as the factory paint was closing the hole for attaching. Being a Hobby, this is what we do. No problem. Love this boat.

I have other shops and this isy favorite. The shipping was fast and zero damage. The paint was a deep olive green, not lime as others described. The ESC was 120 and set with correct jumper to lipo. Boat performed well with minor adjustments. Nothing ran hot, as though there tech Rep assured. This boat craftsmanship was perfect. I had to clean the attachment holes from paint with a small drill bit and commercial grade Krazy glue to secure by choice. Added army men from hobby lobby . Safari brand. Fish net for rope, rubber spacer to adjust height of rear gun angle to miss flag. Will add pictures and you tube video soon. Great boat.

Awesome deatail and value for the money. I added a diesel sound module for RC cars from Amazon, plugged into the receiver and now I can hear the Packards. No documentation on the parts but google PT 596 and you can see where everything goes. Parts durable and well made. The Radar is fragile so pull it out slowly. I am probably mod mine to rotate. Plenty of room to get inside. Radio is at least a 4 channel so you have 2 to play with. I am also going to add lights. Will be easy to airbrush add camo. Also going to add a 1/24th crew. Thank you guys, it is awesome.
