Conquer the waves with Bancroft, the world’s premier RC Boat brand available exclusively at Motion RC!

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.
The Imperial Japanese super-battleship “Yamato” and her sister ship “Musashi” were the largest floating weapons deployed in World War 2. Built under intense secrecy, the Yamato became a symbol of defiance as the Allies closed in around the island country that had once threatened Pacific domination.
Bancroft’s Elite Series of warships continues with the 1/200 scale Battleship Yamato. Display this museum piece on your mantle or astonish your RC boat club with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) RC battleship. Over 400 total parts and 100 man-hours of work are 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 and 2s Li-Ion battery. Only four AA batteries and minimal final assembly is required.

1/200 Scale 1/200 scale is the ideal "Daily Driver" size for battleships, being the best balance between large size for stable sailing and high detail, and a lightweight hull for convenient transportability.
