Technical Performance

The FTX Buzzsaw Li-Ion 1200mAh 7.4V Battery represents modern battery engineering optimised for small-scale RC vehicles. The lithium-ion chemistry provides significantly better performance characteristics than traditional nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, with higher energy density, lower self-discharge rates, and improved voltage stability under load. At 1200mAh capacity with a 7.4V nominal output, this battery strikes an excellent balance between runtime and weight considerations crucial for 1/12 scale RC models like the Buzzsaw Xtreme ATV. The 2S (two-cell series) Li-Ion configuration delivers the precise voltage needed to power the compatible FTX vehicle's electric motor and control systems at their optimal operating point. The consistent voltage curve of Li-Ion technology means your RC vehicle maintains better acceleration and handling characteristics throughout the entire discharge cycle, compared to NiMH batteries which experience voltage sag as they deplete. This battery is engineered to stringent quality standards ensuring safety, reliability, and longevity, with proper charge protection circuitry to prevent damage from overcharging or over-discharge scenarios. For serious RC hobbyists in the UK investing in quality spare batteries, the FTX0610 offers genuine manufacturer performance you can depend on for both casual bashing and more demanding driving sessions.
