Overview
The Radient 4.0mm HXT Pairs Connector With Polarity Housing (5 pcs) is an essential accessory for RC hobbyists and serious enthusiasts who demand reliable, secure electrical connections on their RC models. Whether you're building a custom RC car, upgrading your RC truck, or assembling a high-performance RC buggy, these professional-grade connectors deliver the consistency and durability that keeps your RC vehicle running smoothly. Based in the UK, RC Model Shop recognises that quality connectors are the foundation of any well-built RC setup, and this five-piece pack from Radient offers outstanding value for money.
This connector set adheres to the 4.0mm HXT standard, which has become the preferred choice for many RC enthusiasts across the UK who want a reliable, compact connector solution. The HXT format, also known as the Maverick standard, is widely recognised for its robust design and excellent electrical conductivity. Each connector pair comes complete with dedicated polarity housings that help you organise and identify connector orientation during assembly, making the build process clearer and reducing the risk of reverse polarity mistakes that could damage your RC equipment.
Supplied as a practical five-piece pack, this product from Radient (part number RDNAC010107) is ideal for hobbyists who need spare connectors, those building multiple RC vehicles, or anyone looking to standardise their connector setup across their RC fleet. The lightweight, compact package means you can carry spare connectors to the track or field without adding noticeable weight to your kit bag, whilst the polarity housings ensure your connections are always made correctly, every time.
Key Features
- 4.0mm HXT Connector Standard — These connectors meet the industry-recognised 4.0mm HXT specification, which is widely used across RC cars, RC trucks, RC buggies and many other RC vehicles in the UK. This standardisation means compatibility with a huge range of RC equipment and batteries.
- Polarity Housing System — Each connector pair includes dedicated polarity housings that clearly identify the positive and negative orientation of your connectors. This feature prevents accidental reverse polarity connections that could short-circuit or damage your RC electronics, battery or motor.
- Five-Piece Pack — The pack contains five complete connector pairs, giving you excellent value and enough connectors for multiple builds, repairs or upgrades. This quantity is ideal for hobbyists who maintain several RC vehicles or prefer to keep spares on hand.
- Compact and Lightweight Design — Weighing just 0.03kg with minimal bulk, these connectors won't add unnecessary weight to your RC model. The compact form factor makes them perfect for space-constrained builds where every gram counts.
- Professional Quality Construction — Radient is a recognised manufacturer of RC electrical connectors, and these units are manufactured to reliable standards that meet the demands of both recreational and competitive RC enthusiasts.
- Easy Assembly — The included polarity housings make assembly straightforward and intuitive, reducing assembly time and the potential for connection errors during your RC build or modification project.
Technical Performance
The Radient 4.0mm HXT connector system is engineered specifically for RC applications where reliable electrical contact is paramount. The 4.0mm tube diameter provides a generous cross-sectional area for electrical current flow, ensuring minimal voltage drop across the connection and maximising power delivery to your RC motor or electronics. The HXT connector format has become the standard choice for many RC hobbyists in the UK because it offers a balance of compact design, secure connection, and excellent electrical properties. The polarity housing system is not merely decorative—it serves a critical safety function by physically preventing you from accidentally connecting positive and negative terminals in reverse, which is a common cause of damage to RC electronics, ESCs (electronic speed controllers), and batteries. The compact form factor at just 0.03kg ensures these connectors add negligible weight to your RC vehicle, which is particularly important for high-performance applications where every gram affects acceleration, top speed and handling characteristics. Whether you're building a bespoke RC off-road buggy, setting up a competitive RC short course truck, or simply maintaining your existing RC fleet, these connectors deliver the reliable performance you expect from quality RC components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the HXT connector standard and why should I use it? — The HXT connector, also known as the Maverick standard, is an industry-recognised connector format widely used in RC cars, RC trucks and RC buggies throughout the UK. It offers a compact design with excellent electrical conductivity and secure mechanical coupling. The 4.0mm tube diameter provides reliable power transmission for everything from small-scale RC models to larger RC vehicles. If your RC equipment specifies HXT connectors, this product provides genuine, quality connectors that match that specification perfectly.
- What do the polarity housings do? — The polarity housings serve a critical safety function by clearly identifying and preventing reverse polarity connections. Each connector pair includes housings that physically prevent you from accidentally connecting positive and negative terminals backwards, which could damage your RC battery, ESC, motor or other electronics. This is especially important if you're new to RC hobbies or building multiple RC vehicles with different electrical layouts.
- Can I use these connectors with any RC vehicle? — These 4.0mm HXT connectors are compatible with any RC car, RC truck, RC buggy or other RC equipment that specifies HXT connectors. They work with brushless motors, brushed motors, and all standard RC batteries and ESCs that use the HXT format. Check your RC equipment's specifications to confirm HXT compatibility before purchasing.
- How many connector pairs do I actually get in this pack? — This pack contains five complete connector pairs, so you receive ten individual connectors (five positive and five negative). This quantity provides excellent value and enough connectors for multiple RC builds or to maintain a spare inventory for your RC hobby setup.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The polarity housing system actually makes these connectors ideal for beginners because it prevents common mistakes like reverse polarity connections. If you're new to building RC vehicles or assembling your first RC model, these connectors with their clear polarity markings will help ensure your electrical connections are made correctly and safely.
- Will these connectors fit my RC car or RC truck? — These 4.0mm HXT connectors will fit any RC equipment designed for HXT connectors. Check your RC vehicle's specification sheet or manual—if it lists HXT or 4.0mm connectors, these are the correct choice. If your RC model uses XT60, T-connectors, or other formats, you'll need different connectors.
