Technical Performance

The Radient Superpax NiMH stick pack represents solid engineering for traditional RC applications. Built from six matched NiMH cells, this battery delivers a steady 7.2V output that is perfectly matched to the design specifications of countless 1/10 scale RC cars, buggies and off-road vehicles. The 2000mAh capacity provides balanced performance — sufficient current output for acceleration and high-speed running, whilst maintaining reasonable runtime between charges. NiMH chemistry offers superior safety characteristics compared to some modern alternatives, with inherent protection against over-discharge and thermal runaway, making it an excellent choice for younger enthusiasts aged 14 and above, as well as for those who prioritise reliability over maximum performance. The silicone-covered lead is manufactured to resist cracking and splitting even with repeated connections and disconnections, a critical factor for battery longevity in the field. The Tamiya connector is gold-plated internally to resist corrosion and ensure consistent electrical contact session after session. The stick configuration maximises internal cell arrangement efficiency whilst keeping the overall profile compact enough to fit traditional RC car battery bays without modification. For those running standard brushed motors or entry-level brushless systems in 1/10 scale vehicles, this pack provides the correct voltage and sufficient discharge rate to deliver the performance characteristics your RC car was engineered for.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient Superpax 7.2V NiMH battery suitable for my RC car? — The Radient Superpax is compatible with any 1/10 scale RC car, buggy or similar vehicle that accepts a 7.2V NiMH stick pack with a Tamiya connector. Check your RC vehicle's manual or battery compartment to confirm it requires a 7.2V pack and uses a Tamiya connector before purchasing. This includes many classic and modern entry-level RC cars, crawlers and buggies widely used across the UK RC hobby.
• What is the difference between NiMH and LiPo batteries for RC cars? — NiMH batteries like the Radient Superpax are heavier and have lower energy density than LiPo batteries, which means shorter runtime and slightly less peak power, but they offer superior safety, do not require specialised chargers with balancing capabilities, are more forgiving of abuse, and are ideal for beginners or those who prioritise reliability and ease of use over ultimate performance in their RC cars.
• How long will this battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on your specific RC vehicle, driving style and motor configuration, but a 2000mAh pack in a typical 1/10 scale RC buggy or car generally provides 20 to 40 minutes of running time, with more conservative driving delivering longer sessions and aggressive racing reducing runtime accordingly.
• Can I use this battery in a LiPo charger? — No. The Radient Superpax NiMH pack requires a NiMH-compatible charger, not a LiPo charger. LiPo chargers are specifically designed for lithium-polymer chemistry and will damage or fail to charge NiMH packs. Ensure you use a charger that explicitly supports NiMH or multi-chemistry charging.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The 7.2V NiMH Superpax is ideal for RC beginners because NiMH batteries are forgiving, require only a standard charger (no specialist equipment), are safer than LiPo if mistreated, and the 2000mAh capacity provides sufficient power for learning and recreational use without the complexity of lithium charging and storage protocols.
• What is the shipping weight and dimensions of this battery? — The battery itself weighs 291 grams, with dimensions of 135 x 47 x 24 millimetres in the stick configuration. The shipping weight including packaging is approximately 0.31 kilograms or 0.69 pounds.
