Sailing the Bancroft USS Charles Adams 1/100 Scale (53.6") US Guided Missile Destroyer | Motion RC

[@stevesocransky6341]

Beautiful ship- love how they glide thru the pond…A bit on the pricy side but worth the $$$$$..I have two destroyers and the PT 596. I use stick on tire weights -Amazon- stack them on the keel, close to CG… or dive belt 1lb lead bags work as well for ballast … Installed 35 turn injora motors in the PT, the 120amp esc stays cool n boat gets up n boogies- scale speed is effortless

I was on this ship 83-86, very cool!

[@edwardherbert882]

it had a twin missile launcher not a one armed bandit, os 3 83 to 86

Imagine buying a model missile destroyer for almost 2 grand, blaring about its incredible museum-quality details, and yet they got the ONE weapon system making her a Missile Destroyer wrong is just tragic. DDG2 USS Charles F. Adams had a twin Mk-11 Guided Missile Launching System, not a single Mk-13.

Amazing looking ship, but the pricing is...insane. One can buy THREE twin 80mm F-14 Tomcats PNP for the same price as this one single boat... 🤐

Comparing these to foam models is comparing apples to the farthest thing from an apple you could imagine. Completely different manufacturing processes.

[@PropertyOfAnna]

@@MotionRC I agree. Totally different segments, buyer group and all. But at the end of the day, money is still money that we, your customer, hand over to your company for an object in return. Will it help if I changed the 3 foam Tomcats to TWO giant scale 2000mm balsa Black Horse Spitfires instead? Is that closer to your apple now?

Rip off

Ridiculous. Only people on crack would charge such an asinine price.
