The humble power supply is often an item we overlook in our arsenal of RC equipment, but with the current crop of RTR vehicles being released with USB-C chargers it has become more important than ever to have one. Typically we route around in the draw and find a phone charger power adapter to do the job, but due to a low Watt rating (typically 5 Watts) it can take what feels like a lifetime to get a full charge! Gens Ace have come up with an affordable, compact and powerful adapter that is the perfect solution for those with USB-C chargers. The wall plug style design combined with 65 watts of power output makes it a simple solution and with the included USB-C lead it is ready to connect to your device.
For example it will take 7.5 hours to charge the 5000mAh 2S LiPo (with the included Spektrum S120 USB charger) that comes with the Losi Promoto using a 5 Watt power supply adapter. Swap out the power supply for the Gens Ace 65W and the same job will be done in 2.5 hours , giving the maximum 2amp output from the S120 charger, getting you more time behind the wheel or sticks!
The Gens Ace 65W Power Supply is not just ideal paired with the current crop of USB-C chargers, but can be used in and around the home to charge and run a wide variety of electrical devices. Competitively priced, this power supply is a must have items for practically anyone! Fully supports QC3.0, QC4.0, QC4.0+, PD3.0 complaint devices.

Overview
The GENSACE iMars 65W USB-C Power Supply Adapter is a game-changing solution for anyone serious about their RC hobby in the UK. With the current generation of ready-to-run RC vehicles arriving with USB-C chargers built in, having the right power supply has become essential to getting the most from your equipment. This compact wall-plug adapter delivers a massive 65 watts of USB-C power delivery, ensuring your RC charger can operate at full capability without compromise. Whether you're charging a Spektrum S120 USB charger paired with a Losi Promoto or any other modern USB-C enabled RC vehicle, the GENSACE iMars transforms your charging experience from frustratingly slow to impressively quick.
Many RC enthusiasts find themselves reaching for an old mobile phone charger to power their USB-C chargers, only to discover that these low-powered 5-watt adapters severely limit charging speeds. This creates a bottleneck that can mean hours of waiting instead of minutes. The GENSACE iMars 65W solves this problem completely. For example, charging a 5000mAh 2S LiPo battery using a Spektrum S120 charger with a standard 5-watt power adapter takes approximately 7.5 hours. Switch to the GENSACE iMars 65W and that same battery charges in just 2.5 hours, unlocking the full 2-amp output capability of your charger and getting you more time behind the wheel or sticks. This isn't just faster charging—it's the difference between a few quick flights or drives and spending your entire evening waiting.
Beyond its role in the RC world, the GENSACE iMars 65W is a versatile power solution for your home and hobby bench. It supports the latest USB-C Power Delivery standards and is fully compatible with modern smartphones, tablets, laptops and gaming devices. This means one premium power adapter can service your entire tech ecosystem, making it a genuinely useful addition to any enthusiast's setup.
Key Features
- 65 watts USB-C Power Delivery — This adapter outputs up to 65 watts through a single USB-C connection, providing the sustained power required by modern RC USB-C chargers to operate at maximum charge rates. This eliminates the frustration of slow charging and ensures your charger's full capability is realised.
- Multiple voltage outputs for universal compatibility — The adapter intelligently provides 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A and 20V/3.25A, allowing it to power a vast range of USB-C devices from RC chargers to smartphones, tablets and laptops. This intelligent power delivery means you get the right voltage for whatever device you connect.
- Compact wall-plug design — Rather than a bulky power brick with trailing cables, the GENSACE iMars uses a sleek wall-plug form factor that minimises desk clutter. This makes it equally at home on your RC workbench, in your home office or packed in a travel bag.
- Included USB-C cable — The package includes a ready-to-use USB-C cable, meaning you can power up your RC charger or device immediately without hunting for a compatible lead. This thoughtful inclusion saves money and ensures compatibility straight out of the box.
- PD3.0, QC3.0, QC4.0 and QC4.0+ support — By supporting every current USB-C power protocol, the GENSACE iMars works flawlessly with virtually every modern USB-C device including the latest RC chargers, Apple iPhones, iPads and MacBooks, Samsung Galaxy devices, and countless others. This future-proofs your investment.
- Level VI energy efficiency — This adapter meets the highest international energy efficiency standards, meaning it wastes minimal power as heat and keeps your electricity bills lower while delivering consistent, clean power to your devices.
- Worldwide mains input compatibility — With AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz input support, this adapter works perfectly whether you're in the UK, Europe, the USA or anywhere else in the world, making it ideal for RC competitors who travel to events internationally.
Technical Performance
The GENSACE iMars 65W represents intelligent engineering applied to a simple requirement: delivering reliable, high-power USB-C connectivity. The adapter supports the full spectrum of modern USB Power Delivery standards, intelligently negotiating the correct voltage and current with whatever device you connect. Input voltage acceptance of AC 100-240V at both 50Hz and 60Hz means this adapter works flawlessly anywhere in the world—an important consideration for UK RC enthusiasts who might compete at international events or travel abroad. The maximum 65-watt output capability ensures even power-hungry devices receive sustained power without throttling. The Level VI energy efficiency rating demonstrates engineering rigour; this isn't simply a high-power adapter, it's one designed to minimise wasted energy and heat generation. For RC applications specifically, the ability to deliver full power to USB-C chargers removes the charging bottleneck that has plagued the hobby. A Spektrum S120 charger, for example, is limited only by the power supply you feed it—many RC enthusiasts have been constrained by inadequate power adapters, but the GENSACE iMars unlocks the charger's true potential, enabling 2-amp charging rates that were previously unattainable. The compact dimensions of just 97mm length, 48mm width and 62mm height, combined with a weight of only 161 grams, make this one of the most portable high-power USB-C solutions available.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the GENSACE iMars 65W power my Spektrum S120 RC charger at full output? — Yes, absolutely. The GENSACE iMars delivers up to 65 watts of USB-C power, which is more than sufficient to unlock the full 2-amp output capability of the Spektrum S120 charger. This enables rapid charging of LiPo batteries compared to lower-powered adapters, reducing your charge time from hours to minutes in many cases.
- What's the real-world difference in charging time with this adapter? — Using a 5000mAh 2S LiPo battery with a Spektrum S120 charger as an example, a typical 5-watt phone charger adapter takes approximately 7.5 hours to complete a full charge. Switching to the GENSACE iMars 65W reduces this to approximately 2.5 hours, representing a 66% reduction in charging time. The exact improvement depends on your specific battery capacity and charger model.
- Is this adapter compatible with my smartphone or tablet? — The GENSACE iMars is fully compatible with all USB-C devices including iPhones 8 and later, all iPad Pro, Air and Mini models, Apple MacBooks, Samsung Galaxy S8 and later, Note series phones, Huawei P9 and later, Nintendo Switch, Google Chromebook Pixel 2, OnePlus 2 and countless other devices. If your device has a USB-C port, this adapter can power it efficiently.
- Can I use this adapter to charge devices while simultaneously powering my RC charger? — No, the GENSACE iMars features a single USB-C output port, so it can only power one device at a time. If you need to charge multiple devices simultaneously, you would require separate adapters for each device.
- What power protocols does this adapter support? — The GENSACE iMars fully supports PD3.0 (USB Power Delivery 3.0), QC3.0 (Quick Charge 3.0), QC4.0 (Quick Charge 4.0) and QC4.0+.

This makes it ideal for RC competitors who attend international events or enthusiasts who travel abroad.
- How does the GENSACE iMars compare to using a standard phone charger? — Standard mobile phone chargers typically output between 5 and 20 watts, with many older adapters limited to just 5 watts. The GENSACE iMars delivers up to 65 watts, providing 3 to 13 times more power. This dramatic increase means your RC charger can operate at maximum output, dramatically reducing charge times from several hours to less than an hour for most batteries.
- Will this adapter get hot during use? — The GENSACE iMars achieves Level VI energy efficiency certification, which means it is engineered to minimise wasted energy and heat generation.
