Adapt your heavy-duty batteries to your vehicle with this convenient One-Piece Adapter. This compact unit allows you to connect a battery with an XT90 connector to an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) or Charger that is equipped with an EC5 (or IC5) connector.
This is one of the most popular adapters for Arrma owners. Arrma vehicles typically come with EC5/IC5 plugs, but many high-performance aftermarket batteries (like Gens Ace, SMC, or CNHL) come with XT90 plugs. This adapter bridges that gap instantly without soldering.
Key Features
-
Wireless Design: Unlike "pigtail" adapters that use a short length of wire, this is a solid, direct-plug block. This design saves space in tight battery compartments and reduces wire clutter.
-
High-Temp Nylon: Molded from durable nylon that can withstand the heat generated by high-current brushless systems.
-
Gold Plated Connectors: Ensures solid conductivity to minimize resistance (voltage drop) across the connection.
Connector Breakdown (The "Gender" Guide)
RC connector genders are confusing. Here is exactly what this adapter fits:
-
Side A (XT90 Male): This side has the prongs inside. It plugs INTO an XT90 Battery.
-
Side B (EC5 Female): This side has the sockets inside. It plugs INTO an EC5 ESC (Speed Controller).
Compatibility
-
Vehicle Side: Fits any vehicle with an EC5 or IC5 connector (e.g., Arrma Kraton, Typhon, Big Rock, Losi, Team Associated).
-
Battery Side: Fits any LiPo battery with an XT90 Female connector.
