Dual Motor Drive Powerful twin 550 size brushed motors propel the vessel far beyond scale speeds, driving twin screws (propellers) through steel shafts. The stuffing tubes are pre-greased at the factory to resist water intrusion without additional servicing. Twin rudders give the Bancroft Island Class Cutter excellent maneuverability while underway. |
Stable Hull Design The Armidale's durable molded hull is computer designed for scale accuracy and practical stability, incorporating the real boat's chines and submerged stabilization fin system. Cruise efficiently through calm water and carve through choppy water at high speed with equal degrees of stability!

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.
