Adapt your modern batteries to legacy vehicles or chargers with this Connector Adapter Harness. This cable allows you to connect a battery equipped with a blue EC3 connector to a device (ESC or Charger) that uses a standard white Tamiya connector.
This is a common adapter for hobbyists who have upgraded their batteries to modern LiPos (which often come with EC3/IC3 plugs) but still want to run them in vintage Tamiya cars or entry-level RTR trucks that have the classic white Tamiya plug on the speed controller.
