Key Features
- XT-60 Connector Type — The XT-60 is the recognised standard connector format in modern RC electronics, offering excellent current-carrying capacity and reliability across all applications from beginner-friendly ready to run models through to competition-grade racing setups. This industry standard ensures compatibility with the vast majority of ESCs, batteries and power systems on the market today.
- 3.5mm Gold-Plated Contacts — The 3.5mm contact design minimises resistance and heat generation during power delivery, which translates directly into better efficiency and longer runtime from your LiPo or other battery chemistry. Gold plating protects against oxidation and corrosion, maintaining reliable electrical contact even after repeated connect-disconnect cycles.
- Set Includes Two Connectors — This pair of connectors provides a complete battery-to-ESC connection solution, with both male and female elements included so you can establish a full circuit connection. Having both connector genders means you can immediately integrate this set into your RC car, truck or other model without requiring additional components.
- Genuine Dynamite Manufacturing — As an authentic Dynamite product distributed through authorised channels, you can trust the build quality and performance specifications of these connectors. Dynamite is a recognised brand within the RC hobby and you can rely on consistent quality across every connector in this set.
Technical Performance
The XT-60 connector format has established itself as the go-to power solution for electric RC vehicles across all scales and applications. The 3.5mm contact design provides outstanding current handling characteristics suitable for brushless motors drawing significant amperage, making these connectors equally at home on high-powered racing machines as they are on entry-level ready to run platforms. The gold-plated brass contacts resist oxidation and maintain low resistance during power delivery, which becomes increasingly important in high-discharge-rate applications where voltage sag and power loss must be minimised. Whether you're operating a 2WD or 4WD RC vehicle, these connectors integrate seamlessly with modern ESC technology and LiPo battery systems. The mechanical design features a tight, secure fit that prevents accidental disconnection during aggressive driving, whilst remaining easy to connect and disconnect during maintenance or battery swaps. For anyone serious about RC performance in the UK market, quality connectors like these represent a fundamental component of any reliable setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are XT-60 connectors and why do I need them for my RC model? — XT-60 connectors are the industry standard power connection format used to link your LiPo battery to your ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) in electric RC vehicles. They provide a safe, reliable method of transferring high current from your battery to your motor control systems. If you're building or upgrading any brushless RC car, truck, buggy or other electric model, quality XT-60 connectors ensure proper power delivery and protect against connection failures during operation.
- Are these connectors compatible with my RC car or truck? — XT-60 connectors are the recognised standard across the vast majority of modern RC vehicles, whether you're running a ready to run RTR model or a custom competition build. If your ESC and battery both feature XT-60 connectors (or can be fitted with them), this Dynamite set will integrate seamlessly into your setup. Check your current battery and ESC to confirm they use XT-60 format before purchasing.
- What is the difference between the male and female connectors in this set? — This set includes both male and female XT-60 connectors, which together form a complete battery-to-ESC connection. The male connector typically mounts on your battery, whilst the female connector attaches to your ESC, creating a safe, secure coupling when you power up your RC model. Having both connector types in one set means you have everything needed to make a full power connection.
- How do I install these connectors on my battery and ESC? — XT-60 connectors require careful soldering to your battery balance leads and ESC power wires using appropriate soldering equipment and techniques. We recommend consulting detailed installation guides or seeking assistance from experienced RC builders if you're new to connector installation. Proper soldering technique is essential for safety and reliability, particularly when handling high-current applications in RC vehicles.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These connectors are essential components for any RC enthusiast, from complete beginners to seasoned racers. However, connector installation requires soldering skills, so beginners may benefit from purchasing ready-to-use batteries and ESCs with connectors already installed. Once you've gained experience with soldering and electrical work, upgrading connectors becomes a straightforward way to improve your setup reliability.
