This is particularly useful for RC enthusiasts who want to simplify their electrical setup whilst maintaining the super reliable, efficient connection that the XT90 standard is famous for. RC car UK buyers will appreciate the quality assurance that comes with buying an authentic ARRMA component rather than cheaper alternatives.
Supplied fully assembled and ready to use straight out of the box, you don't need to worry about soldering or complex installation. This plug-and-play approach makes it ideal whether you're upgrading an existing RC vehicle or setting up a new brushless RC model for the first time. The XT90 connector provides protection through its design, offering a super reliable connection that minimises resistance and heat generation during operation, ensuring your RC car or truck maintains consistent performance throughout your driving sessions.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Loop Connector: XT90 Female represents the pinnacle of connector design for electric RC applications. The XT90 standard has been engineered to handle the high current demands of modern brushless RC motors whilst maintaining excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical durability. The female loop configuration means this connector is designed to receive the male pin from your ESC battery lead, creating a secure physical and electrical connection that resists accidental disconnection during aggressive driving or crashes. The loop design is particularly valued in RC racing circles across the UK, where reliable power delivery directly impacts performance and consistency. Whether you're running a high-speed 6S brushless RC car or a more moderate 4S setup, this connector maintains stable contact under the demanding conditions of both off-road RC buggies, stadium trucks, and on-road racing vehicles. The materials used in XT90 connectors are specifically chosen to minimise resistance and heat buildup, which is critical when delivering the continuous current draw required by modern brushless motors and high-capacity battery packs.
