This is the kind of practical accessory that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it.

Designed with versatility in mind, the GTP0113 works with a wide voltage range, making it compatible with most standard RC power systems. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor, a weekend basher who enjoys off-road bashing, or someone just getting started in the RC hobby, this electronic switch is a worthwhile addition to your battery management toolkit. It's simple, reliable, and built to the high standards you'd expect from GT Power—a trusted name in RC power solutions.

Key Features

• Wide Input Voltage Range (4V - 8.4V) — The switch accepts input power from 4 volts up to 8.4 volts, which means it's compatible with multiple battery configurations commonly used in RC models, providing flexibility across different RC car UK setups and power requirements.
• Controlled Output Voltage (0V - 40V) — This switch can deliver controlled output from zero volts all the way up to 40 volts, allowing you to manage power delivery to your receiver and other connected electronics with precision and safety.
• Continuous 7A Output Rating — The switch is rated for a constant output of 7 amps, which is sufficient for most standard RC receivers, servos and light-load applications in ready to run RC models and hobby-grade vehicles.
• Peak Output Capacity of 10A — When you need extra power for brief moments, the GTP0113 can handle peak output surges of up to 10 amps, giving you headroom for sudden power demands without the switch cutting out or failing.
• Pre-Connected Receiver Lead — The switch comes with a 290mm receiver lead already attached, meaning you can connect it directly to your receiver without needing to source additional cables or adapters, saving time during setup.
• Integrated Battery Leads — The 70mm battery leads are built into the unit, allowing for quick and direct connection to your battery pack, streamlining your power management and reducing clutter in your RC chassis.

Technical Performance

The GT Power Electronic Switch GTP0113 represents solid engineering focused on practical, everyday reliability rather than flashy specifications. Built to handle the demands of recreational RC use, this switch manages power delivery across a broad voltage spectrum, accepting input from 4V up to 8.4V and controlling output from 0V to 40V. The continuous 7-amp rating ensures stable operation during normal driving, whilst the 10-amp peak rating provides headroom for those moments when you need extra grunt. The pre-attached receiver lead measuring 290mm and the 70mm battery leads mean minimal assembly is required—unbox it, connect it, and you're ready to go. This is the kind of no-fuss component that integrates seamlessly into any RC car UK setup, whether you're running brushless or brushed motors, LiPo or NiMH batteries, or whether your RC model is a high-speed racer or a slow-crawling rock crawler.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What voltage range does the GT Power Electronic Switch GTP0113 support? — The switch accepts input power from 4 volts to 8.4 volts, covering the range of most standard RC battery configurations. The controlled output voltage ranges from 0V to 40V, giving you flexibility in managing power delivery to your receiver and servos.
• Is this switch suitable for my RC car or RC truck? — Yes, the GTP0113 works with any RC model that uses a receiver and servos, whether you're running a ready to run RC car, a custom-built RC truck, an RC buggy, or an RC crawler. It's a universal solution for RC hobbyists across the UK who want simpler power management.
• Can this switch handle high-current draws? — The switch is rated for continuous 7-amp output with a peak capacity of 10 amps, which is suitable for most standard RC receivers, servo arrays and light-load applications. If you're running extremely high-current systems, you may need a switch rated for higher amperage.
• Do I need to buy any additional cables or connectors? — No, the switch comes ready to use with a 290mm receiver lead and 70mm battery leads already attached. You simply connect it between your battery and receiver, and you're ready to control power electronically.
• Why should I use an electronic switch instead of just plugging and unplugging my battery? — An electronic switch protects your battery connectors from wear and damage caused by repeated plugging and unplugging, extends the life of your leads, and provides convenient on-off control without physically touching your battery. It's a simple upgrade that improves the longevity and convenience of your RC setup.
• What is the difference between this and a standard mechanical switch? — This is an electronic switch, meaning it provides electronic control of power delivery with voltage regulation capabilities (0V-40V output control). It offers more sophisticated power management than a basic mechanical on-off switch.
