Frequently Asked Questions
- What are XT90 connectors and why do RC car enthusiasts use them? — The XT90 is an industry-standard connector type widely used in RC cars, trucks, buggies, and other electric RC vehicles throughout the UK and worldwide. XT90 connectors offer a reliable, compact design that safely delivers power from batteries to electronic speed controllers and other equipment. They are popular because they balance ease of use with robust performance and are widely available, making them a sensible choice for anyone building or maintaining RC battery packs.
- Are these connectors suitable for beginners? — The Radient XT90 Female connectors are recommended for ages 14 and above. Whilst the connectors themselves are straightforward to use, soldering them requires careful handling and safety awareness. Beginners should ensure they have basic soldering skills or seek guidance from experienced RC hobbyists before attempting to assemble connections. If you're new to RC and uncomfortable with soldering, you might consider purchasing pre-built battery packs with XT90 connectors already installed.
- Can I use these connectors with any XT90 compatible equipment? — Yes, the female XT90 connectors in this pack are designed to work with any XT90 male connector, making them compatible with a huge range of RC equipment including ESCs, charging leads, and pre-assembled batteries that feature XT90 male connectors. This compatibility is one of the main reasons XT90 connectors are so popular in the RC hobby.
- Why does the pack include heat shrink tubing? — The included heat shrink tubing allows you to create a neat, finished connection and provides insulation and protection for your soldered joints. After soldering the connector to your battery wire, you simply slide the heat shrink over the joint, and apply gentle heat (using a heat gun or lighter) to shrink it tight. This creates a professional appearance and helps protect the connection from damage and accidental short circuits.
- How many connectors do I need for one battery pack? — A standard battery pack requires one connector (one male and one female pair), so five female connectors in this pack would allow you to build connections for five separate battery packs, or keep spares on hand for replacements and repairs.
- What is the weight of this pack? — The pack has a shipping weight of 0.04kg (0.09lbs), making it extremely light and easy to transport, whether you're posting it to a friend or carrying it to your local RC track or bashing spot.
