Frequently Asked Questions
- Are KT-350 connectors compatible with my existing RC battery? — The KT-350 plugs are designed as an XT60 upgrade, meaning they provide enhanced performance over older standards. However, you may need to desolder your existing connectors and solder new KT-350 connectors onto your battery pack and charger, or use adaptor cables. Check your current connector type before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your setup.
- What is the difference between KT-350 and XT60 connectors? — While the KT-350 is marketed as an XT60 upgrade, both are high-quality connector standards widely used in the RC hobby. The KT-350 offers enhanced design features and reliability, making it an excellent choice for upgrading your RC car UK setup to the latest connector standards.
- Why should I upgrade to KT-350 connectors? — Upgrading to KT-350 connectors provides several benefits including improved electrical contact, reduced voltage drop, better current handling capability, and superior reliability across extended use. These improvements are particularly noticeable when running brushless motors or high-capacity LiPo batteries that demand consistent power delivery.
- Can I use KT-350 connectors with my charger? — Yes, KT-350 connectors are designed to work with modern RC chargers and power supplies. You may need to install KT-350 connectors on your charger's output cable as well to ensure full compatibility with your battery pack, or use adaptor leads as a temporary solution.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — The KT-350 plugs themselves are suitable for all skill levels, though installation requires basic soldering skills. Beginners using ready to run RC models may prefer to purchase batteries pre-fitted with KT-350 connectors rather than upgrading existing packs, though experienced hobbyists will find installation straightforward.
- How many connector pairs do I need? — This package includes two pairs (two males and two females), which is sufficient to upgrade one battery pack and have one spare pair available. If you're upgrading multiple batteries or need additional connectors, you may want to purchase multiple packs.
