Technical Performance

The Etronix Female XT60 to Male XT90 Plug Connector Adaptor is engineered to provide reliable electrical connectivity between two of the most common connector types used in modern RC applications. The XT60 connector standard is widely recognised for mid-range power applications, offering excellent contact reliability and ease of use, whilst the XT90 connector is preferred for slightly higher current applications and offers a more robust connection. This adaptor bridges the gap between these two standards, allowing you to use batteries, chargers, and electronic speed controllers from different manufacturers and product lines without compatibility issues. The construction utilises the genuine XT connector specifications, ensuring that connections are secure, the electrical resistance is minimised, and the risk of accidental disconnection during use is virtually eliminated. Whether you're connecting a battery to an ESC, linking a charger to a battery, or adapting equipment from different RC car manufacturers, this adaptor provides a robust, reliable solution that maintains the integrity of your power delivery system. The adaptor is suitable for use across all RC applications including high-performance 4WD RC buggies, RC short course trucks, RC monster trucks, and even demanding applications like RC boats and multirotors where reliable power delivery is absolutely critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between XT60 and XT90 connectors? — XT60 and XT90 are two different connector standards used in RC applications. The XT60 is typically used for mid-range power applications and offers good reliability and ease of connection, whilst XT90 connectors are designed for slightly higher current applications and provide a more robust connection. This adaptor allows you to connect equipment using either standard without needing to solder or replace connectors.
• Can I use this adaptor with any RC vehicle or battery? — Yes, this adaptor works with any RC equipment that uses XT60 or XT90 connectors, including RC cars and trucks, boats, planes and helicopters, multirotors and drones, as well as chargers and ESCs. Whether you're working with a brushless RC car UK model or a professional racing setup, this adaptor provides the connection you need.
• Do I need to solder this adaptor to my battery or ESC? — No, this is a plug-and-play adaptor with pre-moulded connectors on both ends. Simply plug the female XT60 end into your XT60 connector and the male XT90 end into your XT90 connector. No soldering, modifications, or tools are required, making it ideal for all skill levels.
• Is this adaptor suitable for high-current applications? — The Etronix adaptor is designed to handle the standard currents associated with XT60 and XT90 connectors. For most RC applications including brushless RC cars, trucks, and multirotors, this adaptor will perform reliably. If you're unsure whether your specific setup requires higher current handling, we recommend contacting our team at RC Model Shop for expert advice.
• Will this adaptor work with my LiPo battery and ESC setup? — Absolutely. This adaptor is perfect for linking LiPo batteries with XT60 connectors to ESCs with XT90 connectors, or vice versa. It's one of the most common uses for this type of adaptor, and it allows you to use batteries and ESCs from different manufacturers together without any compatibility issues.
• Can I use multiple adaptors together? — Whilst technically possible, we recommend using adaptors only when necessary for your RC setup. Stacking multiple adaptors can introduce unnecessary connection points and increase electrical resistance. For permanent connections, consider soldering the connectors directly or purchasing batteries and ESCs with matching connector types.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this adaptor is perfect for beginners. It requires no soldering, no technical knowledge, and no tools to use. Simply plug it in and you're ready to go. It's an ideal accessory for anyone new to the RC hobby who might not yet have a complete matching set of XT60 or XT90 equipment.
