Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Mini Tamiya connector and which RC models use it? — Mini Tamiya connectors are smaller profile versions of the standard Tamiya connector format. They are commonly found on entry-level and mid-range RC vehicles including many Tamiya plastic models, some Traxxas and ARRMA vehicles, and various other brushed and brushless RC cars, trucks, and buggies. If your battery has a small, rectangular two-pin connector, it's likely a Mini Tamiya.
- Is this charge lead suitable for all RC battery types? — Yes, the LOGIC Charge Lead 4mm~Mini Tamiya is compatible with lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries, lithium iron phosphate (LiFe) batteries, lithium-ion (LiIon) batteries, and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, provided they are equipped with Mini Tamiya connectors. The charge lead itself is connector-agnostic and simply provides a physical and electrical bridge between your charger and battery.
- Can I use this charge lead with any RC battery charger? — This charge lead will work with any RC battery charger or power supply that features standard 4mm banana plug sockets. This includes Logic RC chargers, Dynamite chargers, Spektrum chargers, and most other mainstream RC battery charger brands available in the UK. Always verify your charger has 4mm banana plug outputs before purchasing.
- What is the difference between Mini Tamiya and standard Tamiya connectors? — Mini Tamiya connectors are a smaller, more compact version of the standard Tamiya connector format. Standard Tamiya connectors are larger and were historically more common on older RC vehicles. Mini Tamiya connectors have become increasingly popular on modern RC models due to their reduced size and weight. The LOGIC range includes separate charge leads for both connector types.
- Is this charge lead safe to use? — Yes, the Mini Tamiya connector format includes built-in polarity protection, meaning the connector can only be plugged in one way, eliminating the risk of reverse polarity damage. The 4mm banana plugs also feature robust construction and secure connection mechanisms. Always inspect the charge lead before use and discontinue use if you notice any damaged connectors or exposed wiring.
- How many times can this charge lead be used? — The LOGIC Charge Lead is designed for hundreds of charging cycles. With proper care and storage, it should provide years of reliable service. Avoid sharp bends, excessive flexing, or damage to the connectors and cable to maximise lifespan.
