Key Features
- XT90 to EC5 Connector Conversion — This adapter takes a battery equipped with an XT90 connector and allows it to connect securely to any device featuring an EC5 connector, eliminating compatibility issues that would otherwise require expensive rewiring or replacement.
- Dynamite Brand Engineering — Built by Dynamite, a recognised manufacturer of quality RC power products, this adapter is engineered to handle the demands of serious RC enthusiasts and provides reliable performance across a wide range of RC applications including cars, trucks, buggies, and crawlers.
- Eliminates Re-soldering Requirements — By using this adapter, you avoid the need to desolder and resolder connectors, which saves time, reduces the risk of damage to your equipment, and keeps your RC setup looking clean and professional.
- Maintains Consistent Setup — Keep your RC equipment organised and consistent without needing to change or replace connectors, making it easier to manage multiple batteries and devices within your growing RC collection.
- Straightforward Plug-and-Play Design — Simply connect your XT90 battery to the male XT90 end of the adapter, then plug the female EC5 end into your EC5-equipped device for instant compatibility without any modification or installation required.
- Compact and Portable — This lightweight adapter takes up minimal space in your RC kit bag or toolbox, making it easy to carry to the track, park, or anywhere else you enjoy RC activities.
Technical Performance
The Dynamite XT90 Male to EC5 Female Battery Adapter is engineered to provide reliable power transfer between two of the most common high-current connectors used in modern RC equipment. The XT90 connector, known for its robust design and secure fit, is widely used on high-discharge LiPo batteries, whilst the EC5 connector is found on many ESCs, motors, and other RC devices. This adapter bridges that connectivity gap, allowing you to use whichever battery configuration you have available with devices that require EC5 connections. The construction of quality adapters like this one ensures minimal voltage drop across the connector interface, which is important for maintaining the full power delivery of your battery to your RC device. Whether you're running a brushless RC car, a high-speed RC truck, or any other RC model requiring reliable power delivery, this adapter provides the electrical integrity needed to keep your equipment performing at its best without any loss of capability or safety concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which direction does this adapter work in? — The DYNC0172 is specifically designed to work with XT90-equipped batteries connecting to EC5-equipped devices. If you need the opposite configuration (EC5 battery to XT90 device), you would need the reverse adapter, such as the DYNC0173. Always check your battery connector type and your device connector type before purchasing an adapter to ensure you get the correct orientation.
- Is this adapter suitable for my RC car or RC truck? — Yes, this adapter is compatible with a wide range of RC applications. Whether you run a brushless RC car, an RC monster truck, an RC buggy, or any other RC model that uses XT90 batteries and EC5 devices, this adapter provides a simple solution. It's particularly useful for UK RC hobbyists who may have accumulated various pieces of equipment over the years with different connector types.
- Will using an adapter cause any power loss or voltage drop? — Quality adapters like this one are engineered to minimise voltage drop across the connector interface, ensuring that the full power output of your battery reaches your RC device. You won't experience any significant performance degradation from using this adapter compared to having a permanently soldered connection.
- What battery types work with this adapter? — This adapter works with any XT90-equipped battery, including LiPo batteries of various capacities and voltage ratings commonly used in RC applications. Simply ensure your XT90 battery is fully charged and compatible with your EC5-equipped device before connecting them through this adapter.
- Can I use this adapter with my ready-to-run RC car? — It depends on your specific ready to run RC model. If your RTR car has an EC5-equipped ESC or motor connector and you have an XT90-equipped battery, then yes, this adapter makes the perfect solution. Always verify your connector types before purchasing any adapter.
- Is this a beginner-friendly solution? — Absolutely. One of the best things about using adapters rather than re-soldering is that beginners can achieve compatibility without needing soldering skills or equipment. Simply plug in the adapter and you're ready to go, making it perfect for newcomers to RC hobbies.
