Orion V2 465mm (18.3") Sailboat from Bancroft - RTR - BNC1042-001
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 museum-quality RC Warships, Sailing Yachts, Speedboats, and more! Equally at home on your mantle with its included display stand or delivering high-speed thrills on ponds or pools, Bancroft vessels are made of high-quality materials including ABS plastic, fiberglass, and high-performance nylon composites.
Convenient, midsize, and affordable, the Bancroft Orion V2 is the perfect introduction to RC yachts capable of operating in stronger breezes and larger bodies of water. Still easily stored in a car for a quick after-work sail, the compact 18.3” size belies its features and handling of a much larger yacht. The Orion V2 arrives carefully packed and semi-assembled, with masting and final rigging left to the buyer prior to the Orion being ready to sail. Simply install 4 AA alkaline batteries in the boat, 4 AA alkaline batteries in the transmitter, and the Orion is ready to enjoy a gentle breeze on a summer evening or the excitement of skippering an America’s Cup yacht.
Display this yacht on your mantle or enjoy it on the water with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) model. Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the Orion V2 can be operating shortly after opening the box, using the included 2.4Ghz stick radio transmitter.

The biggest which has turned it into a big paper weight is the servo smoked that tightens the sheets and we can no longer control the sail trim. Something was wrong with it from the beginning whenever we turned the boat on it hummed lightly, it seemed like it was always working too hard. While I was trying to remove the bad servo I dropped the battery pack and the case broke and now I can't get the thing to work at all. That was my error but they don't seem to sell a replacement. It sailed beautifully for the brief time it worked.

These smaller racing Yachts are epic in performance stability, speed,, quality,, & transportabiliy,, & can't be beat !!! I replaced the Radio gear in mine witha quality Tactic 6 ch. ''full range'' air Rx., linked to a Tactic Any link 2,, & attached to an old top shelf JR XP-662 Tx. Also replaced the servos with E-max Mg's, & put in a SBEC, so I can run 2 & 3s small Lipo's in it. These are very impressive when set up right,, & pretty darn fast also,, plus on rails. Have never had any issues with water in the hull, & used a wee bit of Gorilla clear Silicone around the Keel O - rings to help with this. No brainer getting one of these Gems ! I
