Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Construction — Built to withstand the demands of regular RC use, this switch harness is engineered with robust materials and solid wiring that can handle repeated connection cycles and the vibration inherent in brushless RC cars, nitro buggies, and high-performance electric setups without degradation.
- Integrated Charge Jack — The built-in charging port allows you to charge your battery pack without removing it from the model or disconnecting the main battery connector, saving time during multi-pack charging sessions and reducing connector wear on your expensive LiPo and NiMH batteries.
- Neat and Tidy Installation — Eliminates loose charge leads dangling from your model, creating a clean, professional appearance and reducing the risk of cables snagging on obstacles or getting caught during transport to the track, field, or water.
- No Battery Removal Required — Simply plug your charger into the external charge socket and begin charging; your battery stays secure in the model, meaning faster turnaround between runs and less handling of expensive battery packs.
- Universal Compatibility — Works with a wide range of RC models including electric cars, nitro vehicles, planes, and boats, making it a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's spares box and tune-up collection.
- Affordable Upgrade — At under £6, this is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your RC setup's functionality and appearance without breaking the bank or requiring complex installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a switch harness with charge jack and why do I need one? — A switch harness is an electrical assembly that sits between your battery and receiver, providing an on/off switch for your model. The integrated charge jack allows you to connect a charger directly to the harness without removing the battery from your RC car, truck, plane, or boat, saving time and reducing wear on your main battery connector.
- Can I use this switch harness on any RC model? — Yes, the RC Overhaul Switch Harness is designed to work with a wide range of RC models including electric cars, nitro vehicles, planes, and boats. However, you should ensure that the connector types match your battery and receiver before ordering.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is one of the simplest and most useful upgrades a beginner can make to their RC setup. The installation is straightforward—simply connect the harness between your battery and receiver—and the benefits are immediate and obvious: faster charging and a neater model.
- What battery types does this work with? — The switch harness is compatible with LiPo, NiMH, and other standard RC battery types. The heavy-duty construction means it can handle the current demands of both brushless and brushed systems.
- Do I need any special tools to install this? — No. The harness simply plugs into your existing battery and receiver connectors. If your connectors don't match, you may need to source adapter plugs, but the harness itself requires zero tools to install.
- Will this reduce the performance of my RC model? — No. A quality switch harness introduces negligible voltage drop and actually helps protect your battery connectors by providing a dedicated charge point, which can extend the life of your expensive LiPo batteries.
- Is the charge jack waterproof? — The charge jack is a standard RC charging port. For wet-use applications such as RC boats, you may want to ensure the port is protected from direct water immersion when not in use, though the harness itself is designed for reliable performance in demanding conditions.
