The Redcat Racing HX-3800MH-B is a high-capacity NiMH battery designed specifically for Redcat's 1/10 scale brushed vehicles. It serves as a significant runtime upgrade over the standard 2000mAh or 3000mAh batteries often included in Ready-to-Run (RTR) kits. The standout feature is its 4.0mm Banana connector, which provides a lower-resistance connection than traditional Tamiya plugs, leading to punchier throttle response and cooler operating temperatures.
Key Features
-
Direct Plug-and-Play: Engineered to fit the battery trays and connectors of most brushed Redcat 1/10 vehicles without requiring any soldering.
-
4.0mm Banana Connector: Utilizes high-conductivity bullet-style connectors inside a plastic housing for a secure and efficient power link.
-
Increased Runtime: The 3800mAh capacity offers approximately 25–40% more drive time compared to base-level stock batteries.
-
Reliable NiMH Chemistry: Easier to maintain than LiPo batteries—no specialized storage charging is required, and they are generally more robust against physical impact.
