Traxxas Regulated 3V 3A Accessory Power Supply with Power Tap TRX6588X

Overview

The Traxxas Regulated Accessory Power Supply is an essential component for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to keep their model lighting systems running bright and consistent throughout every run. This 3-volt regulated power supply is specifically designed to power LED light kits on your RC vehicles, ensuring that your lights maintain full brightness from the moment you hit the track until the end of your session. Whether you're running a ready to run RC car, truck, or buggy with integrated lighting systems, this accessory power supply delivers the stable, consistent voltage output that prevents the common problem of flickering and dimming lights that can occur when using standard battery connections.

What sets this power supply apart from basic lighting solutions is its tight voltage regulation, which maintains a steady 3-volt output regardless of your main battery's discharge state. This means your RC model's lights stay vibrant and reliable, providing better visibility during low-light bashings and making your vehicle look professional on the track or trail. The fully waterproof construction ensures this component can handle the same wet, muddy, and challenging conditions that your RC car experiences, making it genuinely fit for purpose whether you're racing at a local UK track, bashing in the garden, or exploring more demanding terrain.

For serious RC hobbyists who have invested in quality models and want to add authentic lighting effects, this regulated power supply is a must-have accessory. It's compatible with various Traxxas models including the Mini Maxx range, making it a versatile addition to any collector's workshop or hobby space.

Key Features

• Tightly Regulated 3V Output — The power supply maintains strict voltage regulation to prevent any flickering or dimming of your LED lights, ensuring consistent brightness throughout your entire run and giving your RC model a more professional appearance both during the day and in low-light conditions.
• Fully Waterproof Construction — Built to withstand the demanding conditions that RC vehicles encounter, the waterproof design means you can use this power supply with confidence regardless of whether you're running through water crossings, wet grass, or muddy terrain without worrying about electrical failure or damage.
• Power Tap Connector Included — The kit comes supplied with a power tap connector and installation screws, providing everything you need to safely and securely integrate the power supply into your RC vehicle's electrical system without requiring additional purchases.
• 3 Amp Capacity — With a 3-amp current rating, this power supply has sufficient capacity to reliably power multiple LED light sets or higher-brightness lighting systems on larger RC models, making it suitable for comprehensive lighting setups.
• Simple Installation — The inclusion of all necessary hardware means installation is straightforward, allowing even relatively inexperienced builders to add professional lighting to their RC cars and trucks without specialist knowledge.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Regulated Accessory Power Supply represents the engineering quality you'd expect from a manufacturer with Traxxas's reputation in the RC industry. Delivering a precisely regulated 3-volt output at up to 3 amps continuous current, this power supply uses advanced regulation circuitry to maintain stable voltage regardless of fluctuations in your main battery pack. This is crucial for LED lighting applications, where even minor voltage variations can cause visible flickering that detracts from the appearance of your RC model. The 3-amp capacity provides enough power for multiple LED light arrays simultaneously, making this suitable for vehicles with comprehensive lighting setups including headlights, tailights, and underglow effects. The fully waterproof housing uses sealed construction to protect the internal regulation circuitry from water ingress, whether from wet grass, puddles, or water crossings that are common in UK RC bashings and trail runs. The power tap connector system provides a reliable, repeatable connection interface that's easier to work with than soldering directly to light circuits, and the inclusion of installation screws ensures secure mounting in your vehicle chassis or body.
