Key Features

• 4S1P Configuration (14.8V) — This four-cell lithium polymer battery delivers 14.8 volts of nominal power, which is the optimal voltage for most modern brushless 1/8 and selected 1/10 scale RC cars, particularly ARRMA models. The single-pack parallel configuration ensures consistent voltage delivery throughout the discharge cycle without the complexity of managing multiple parallel batteries.
• 5000mAh Capacity — The 5000 milliamp-hour capacity provides extended runtime for your bashing sessions, allowing you to spend significantly more time driving and less time charging. This capacity strikes an excellent balance between weight and runtime, keeping your RC car responsive whilst giving you plenty of power.
• 60C Discharge Rate — The 60C continuous discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver 300 amps of current (5000mAh × 60C = 300A), ensuring your brushless motor and ESC receive the full power they demand. This high discharge rate eliminates voltage sag under heavy acceleration and keeps your RC car performing at peak power throughout the battery's discharge cycle.
• XT90 Discharge Connector — The XT90 connector is specifically engineered to handle high-current applications with minimal voltage drop and heat generation. This gold-plated connector system provides a secure mechanical connection that resists disconnection during aggressive driving, critical when you're pushing your RC car to its limits during bashing sessions.
• Compact Soft Case Design — Measuring just 137 × 43 × 34 millimetres and weighing 421 grams, this battery fits into most modern 1/8 scale RC car battery compartments without requiring any modifications to your chassis. The soft case provides essential protection against impact during transport and storage whilst minimising overall vehicle weight.
• Optimised for Off-Road Performance — The Bashing Series designation means this battery has been specifically engineered for off-road RC applications where durability, reliability and consistent performance under demanding conditions are essential. Whether you're running through mud, sand or rocky terrain, this battery delivers the power you need.
• 1–3C Recommended Charge Rate — The flexible charging specifications allow you to charge this battery at rates between 1C and 3C (5–15 amps), giving you the option to charge quickly when you need to get back on the track, or more slowly for enhanced battery longevity. This versatility means you can adapt your charging approach to your specific needs and available equipment.
• ARRMA 1/8 Scale Compatibility — This battery is specifically matched to the power requirements of all ARRMA 1/8 scale vehicles including the Typhoon, Kraton, Nero, Senton, Outcast and Sledge, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with these popular brushless RC cars. The voltage and capacity combination has been tested and proven in these platforms.

Technical Performance

The Gens Ace G-Tech 5000mAh 14.8V 60C battery represents a significant advancement in lithium polymer cell technology, utilising high-quality Japanese and Korean cells to deliver consistent performance and reliability. The engineering behind this pack ensures that voltage remains stable throughout the discharge cycle, meaning your brushless motor receives consistent power whether your battery is fully charged or nearing the end of its run. The 60C discharge rating is particularly important for brushless RC car applications, as modern ESCs and motors can draw enormous amounts of current during acceleration, and a battery with insufficient discharge rating will experience voltage sag that reduces top speed and acceleration performance. With 5000mAh of capacity at a 60C discharge rate, this battery provides 300 amps of continuous current capability, far exceeding the demands of most 1/8 and 1/10 scale brushless RC car setups. The soft case construction, whilst offering less protection than hardcase alternatives, keeps overall battery weight to a minimum at just 421 grams, which translates directly into improved acceleration and handling response in your RC car. The XT90 connector system features gold-plated contacts that minimise resistance and heat generation even under the extreme current demands of high-powered brushless motors, ensuring maximum efficiency and battery lifespan. This battery is particularly well-suited to serious bashers and competitive racers who demand the absolute best performance from their equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Gens Ace G-Tech 5000mAh 60C battery suitable for ARRMA RC cars? — Yes, this battery is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with all ARRMA 1/8 scale vehicles including Typhoon, Kraton, Nero, Senton, Outcast and Sledge models. The 14.8V (4S) voltage and 5000mAh capacity perfectly match the power requirements of ARRMA's brushless systems, and the compact dimensions fit neatly into ARRMA battery compartments without modification.
• What is the actual discharge current capability of this battery? — The 60C discharge rate means this battery can safely deliver 300 amps of continuous current (calculated as 5000mAh × 60C = 300A). This exceptional current capability ensures there is no voltage sag even when your brushless motor and ESC demand peak power during aggressive acceleration or high-speed running.
• How long does it take to charge the Gens Ace G-Tech 5000mAh battery? — Charging time depends on your charger's current rating. At the recommended 1–3C charge rate, you can charge this battery at 5–15 amps. At 5 amps, full charging takes approximately one hour; at 15 amps (3C), charging takes approximately 20 minutes. Most UK RC enthusiasts use 2C charging (10 amps) for a balanced approach between speed and battery longevity.
• Does this battery come with a charger? — The Gens Ace G-Tech 5000mAh battery is supplied as a battery pack only and does not include a charger. You will need a compatible lithium polymer battery charger capable of handling 4S (14.8V) packs with XT90 connectors. If you do not already own an appropriate charger, you will need to purchase one separately to use this battery.
• What XT90 connector does this battery use, and why is this important? — The XT90 connector is a high-current connector system specifically designed for LiPo batteries. The gold-plated contacts minimise electrical resistance, reducing voltage drop and heat generation during high-current discharge. The XT90 is more reliable than older connector systems, resisting accidental disconnection during aggressive driving and handling the extreme currents demanded by modern brushless motors.
• How does the 5000mAh capacity compare to other batteries in the range? — The 5000mAh capacity in this 4S battery provides an excellent balance between runtime and weight. It delivers approximately 5 to 10 minutes of continuous runtime depending on your driving style and terrain, which is sufficient for most bashing sessions before swapping to a second battery. This capacity is considered ideal for serious RC car enthusiasts who want extended runtime without excessive weight penalty.
• Is this a hardcase or soft case battery? — The Gens Ace G-Tech 5000mAh 60C battery features a soft protective case rather than a rigid hardcase. The soft case keeps the overall weight to a minimum, contributing to better acceleration and vehicle handling response. For maximum protection during storage and transport, you may wish to store the battery in a dedicated LiPo safety bag.
• What is the difference between the 60C and 100C versions of Gens Ace batteries? — The 100C discharge rate batteries can deliver more peak current for shorter bursts compared to the 60C version, which may provide a slight performance advantage in certain high-power racing applications. However, the 60C rating is more than sufficient for the vast majority of 1/8 and 1/10 scale RC car applications, and the 60C version typically offers better value and sufficient performance for serious bashing and recreational racing.
• Can I use this battery in a 1/10 scale RC car? — Yes, this 4S battery is suitable for selected 1/10 scale RC car models, particularly those equipped with brushless motors designed for 4S LiPo power. However, it is most ideally matched to 1/8 scale vehicles where the voltage and capacity perfectly suit the motor and ESC specifications. If you are unsure about compatibility with your specific vehicle, contact our team of RC specialists for personalised advice.
• How should I store the Gens Ace G-Tech battery when not in use? — LiPo batteries should always be stored at approximately 50% charge state for maximum longevity. Store the battery in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Many UK RC enthusiasts store their LiPo batteries in dedicated LiPo storage bags for safety. Never store a fully charged or completely discharged battery for extended periods, as this reduces overall lifespan.
