Key Features
- Female XT90 Connector — The female XT90 connection standard is widely adopted across the RC community for high-current applications, particularly in brushless RC cars, buggies and crawlers, ensuring compatibility with XT90 male connectors and XT90 charging systems throughout your RC fleet.
- Heavy-Gauge 10 AWG Wire — The substantial 10 AWG (10G) cable provides excellent current-carrying capacity with minimal resistance, which is critical for maintaining voltage stability and reducing heat generation during high-discharge scenarios common in competitive RC racing and high-power systems.
- Loop Bridging Configuration — The bridging adaptor design allows for flexible power distribution and parallel charging setups, making it ideal for connecting multiple battery packs simultaneously or creating charging harnesses that manage multiple XT90 connections safely and efficiently.
- Compact, Durable Construction — Built to withstand the rigours of regular RC use, this adaptor is engineered for long-term reliability with quality materials that resist corrosion and maintain consistent electrical performance across countless charge-discharge cycles.
- Straightforward Interface — No complex assembly required; simply connect your XT90 male connectors to this female adaptor and enjoy immediate power distribution capabilities, making it perfect for both experienced RC modellers and those newer to the hobby who want plug-and-play solutions.
Technical Performance
The eTronix Female XT90 Loop Bridging Adaptor represents solid electrical engineering focused on practical reliability. The 10 AWG wire gauge is a critical specification—this heavy copper cable is rated for sustained high-current applications and is commonly recommended for RC systems running 4S, 5S, 6S and higher LiPo battery packs where current demands exceed 100 amps. Unlike lighter gauge alternatives, 10 AWG wire maintains structural integrity and electrical performance during the intense discharge cycles typical of high-performance RC vehicles. The female XT90 connector itself is precision-engineered to provide secure, low-resistance connections that prevent accidental disconnection during operation whilst maintaining excellent electrical conductivity. The bridging configuration opens numerous possibilities: parallel charging multiple batteries simultaneously through a single charger connection, creating distribution harnesses for multi-battery systems, or simply extending XT90 connectivity to hard-to-reach areas of your RC setup. The adaptor's compact footprint means it won't add unnecessary bulk to your wiring loom, and the quality construction ensures it will outlast many battery packs and electronic components in your RC arsenal. Whether you're building a crawler with high torque demands, a buggy for UK off-road racing, or a high-speed track car, this adaptor provides the electrical foundation you can depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a bridging adaptor and why would I need one for my RC car? — A bridging adaptor with female XT90 connector allows you to create custom power distribution configurations, connect parallel charging systems, or extend XT90 connectivity throughout your RC setup. It's especially useful if you're running multiple battery packs, managing complex charging scenarios, or building custom harnesses for your RC vehicle.
- Is the 10 AWG wire suitable for high-current applications? — Yes, absolutely. 10 AWG (10G) wire is specifically designed for high-current RC applications and is rated for sustained discharge at 100+ amps, making it ideal for brushless RC cars, trucks and crawlers running modern LiPo battery systems from 4S through 6S and beyond.
- What XT90 devices and chargers is this compatible with? — This female XT90 adaptor is compatible with any RC equipment featuring male XT90 connectors, including XT90 balance chargers, XT90 battery packs, XT90 charging leads and XT90 connector blocks commonly found in high-performance RC systems across the UK hobby.
- Can I use this adaptor for parallel charging multiple LiPo batteries? — Yes, the bridging adaptor design makes it ideal for creating parallel charging configurations. However, you should ensure your charger supports parallel charging and follow proper LiPo charging safety protocols. Consider using a dedicated parallel charging board for maximum safety and control.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this adaptor is straightforward to use, it's primarily designed for RC enthusiasts with experience managing XT90 systems. Beginners should ensure they understand XT90 connector compatibility and safe power distribution practices before integrating this component into their RC setup.
- What battery packs does this work with? — This female XT90 adaptor works with any XT90-equipped LiPo, LiFe, or NiMH battery pack. The 10 AWG wire is particularly well-suited for high-capacity and high-discharge-rate batteries commonly used in competitive RC cars, buggies, trucks and crawlers throughout the UK.
