Key Features
- XT60 Female Socket — One end features a female XT60 connector, which is one of the most widely used power connector standards in the RC hobby, particularly in battery and balance lead applications across 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars, trucks and buggies in the UK and worldwide.
- EC2 Male Plug — The opposite end terminates in a male EC2 connector, allowing you to connect to equipment, chargers or power leads that use the EC2 standard, creating a bridge between otherwise incompatible systems without rewiring.
- Simple Interface Design — The straightforward male-to-female configuration makes this adapter intuitive to use and quick to deploy in the field, requiring no soldering, crimping or specialist tools to implement.

Technical Performance
The Gens Ace XT60 Female to EC2 Male Adapter is engineered as a simple pass-through connector with no active electronics, making it inherently reliable and maintenance-free. The XT60 connector family is recognised as a professional-grade standard in the RC hobby, capable of handling the power demands of everything from small 1/16 scale RC cars up to large 1/5 scale RC trucks, making this adapter suitable for a diverse range of applications. The EC2 connector standard is similarly robust and is commonly found on balance chargers, charger ports, and specialist power distribution equipment. The adapter's straightforward design — simply a female XT60 socket mated to a male EC2 plug with solid internal contacts — means there are no voltage or current limitations beyond those of the connectors themselves. The materials and construction reflect Gens Ace's quality standards, ensuring that the connectors maintain reliable contact over hundreds of charge cycles and pit sessions. This is the type of accessory that works equally well in a competitive racing environment where equipment reliability is critical, or in a casual weekend basher setup where you simply want your RC cars and trucks to keep running without interruption. Build quality is robust, and the compact form factor means it takes up minimal space in your pit box or tool kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between XT60 and EC2 connectors? — XT60 and EC2 are two different connector standards used in RC power systems. XT60 is one of the most popular battery connector standards in modern RC hobby, particularly on high-performance LiPo batteries and brushless RC cars. EC2 is a different connector type found on many balance chargers, charger outputs, and specialist power distribution equipment. This adapter allows you to connect XT60-equipped batteries or leads to equipment that uses EC2 connectors, eliminating the need to source or build alternative connectors.
- Will this adapter work with my RC car? — This adapter is designed to work with any RC car, truck, buggy, or other RC model where you need to connect an XT60 female connector (usually on a battery or lead) to an EC2 male connector (usually on a charger or power distribution block). If you are unsure whether your equipment uses these specific connectors, you can check your battery connectors and charger ports, or contact us for advice.
- Do I need any tools to install this adapter? — No. This is a simple plug-and-socket adapter with no soldering, crimping or assembly required. Simply plug the female XT60 end into your battery or lead, and the male EC2 end into your charger or power equipment. It is ready to use immediately out of the box.
- Is this suitable for high-power applications? — Yes. The XT60 and EC2 connectors are both professional-grade standards used in high-performance RC racing, including brushless RC cars and trucks running on 3S, 4S, 5S and higher LiPo batteries. The adapter itself is passive (no active electronics) and simply bridges two connector types, so it can handle the same current as the connectors themselves, which are rated for several hundred amps of peak current in typical RC applications.
- How many adapters should I buy? — Many RC enthusiasts buy multiple adapters to cover different scenarios: one for the pit box, one for the charging station at home, one as a spare. This ensures you always have an adapter to hand when you need to interface XT60 and EC2 connectors, reducing downtime and frustration.
- Can this adapter be used in the rain or wet conditions? — Whilst the connectors themselves are solid metal contacts, we recommend keeping all RC connectors and adapters dry when not in active use. For wet weather racing, ensure all connectors are fully seated and secure before operating your RC car in damp conditions, and dry them thoroughly after use.
- What is the stock situation for this adapter? — The Gens Ace XT60 Female to EC2 Male Adapter is held in stock by RC Model Shop with over 200 units available, ensuring reliable availability for next-day UK delivery. If you are buying for a team or club, bulk orders are also welcome.
