Whether you're running an electric RC car UK, a brushless RC buggy, or any standard RC model, this stick pack battery delivers reliable, consistent power that RC enthusiasts have come to trust. The Voltz 3200mAh battery has been tested and developed in conjunction with one of the world's leading battery manufacturers, ensuring that you're investing in a product built to exacting standards.
The new Voltz LiPo range represents excellent value for money without compromising on performance. This is the ideal upgrade for ready to run RC models and perfect for brushless RC vehicles that are supplied without batteries included. Whether you're a club racer looking for a proven performer or a weekend basher wanting dependable power, this battery pack delivers consistent discharge characteristics and impressive energy capacity in a compact, protective hard case design. With pre-fitted Deans connectors offering instant plug and play capability, you can be up and running in seconds without fiddling with connectors or adapters.
The hard case construction around the lithium polymer cells provides greater physical protection than soft-pack alternatives, which means you can have confidence that your battery will withstand the bumps and knocks that come with active RC use. Combined with the strain relief clip that helps protect the delicate balance cables, Voltz has engineered a battery pack that's built to last through countless charging cycles and driving sessions.
Key Features
- Hard Case Protection — The durable hard case enclosure provides significantly better protection than traditional soft-pack LiPo batteries, shielding the internal lithium polymer cells from impact, abrasion and physical damage that can occur during transport or use in the field. This means your battery investment is safeguarded against the inevitable knocks and collisions that happen in RC racing and bashing.
- 40C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 40C continuous discharge specification means this battery can deliver sustained high current draw without overheating or degrading, making it suitable for brushless RC applications that demand consistent power delivery. The 80C burst discharge capability provides additional headroom for sudden acceleration and high-demand manoeuvres, ensuring responsive, thrilling performance when you need it most.
- Pre-Fitted Deans Connector — The pre-installed Deans plug eliminates the need for soldering or connector swapping, offering instant plug and play convenience that gets you racing immediately. This standard connector type is widely recognised across the RC hobby and ensures compatibility with most modern electric RC vehicles and ESCs.
- Strain Relief Clip — The integrated strain relief clip on the balance lead provides important protection for these delicate connections, preventing damage from flexing or accidental yanking that could otherwise compromise battery function or safety. This thoughtful engineering detail extends the working life of your battery pack.
- 2S LiPo Chemistry — The 2-cell series configuration delivers 7.4V nominal voltage, which is the standard and most versatile voltage configuration for entry-level through intermediate brushless RC cars, buggies, and trucks. This makes it compatible with a huge range of ready to run RC models currently available in the UK market.
- Compact Stick Pack Format — The 138 x 46 x 25mm dimensions create a stick pack profile that fits into the battery compartments of countless RTR vehicles, making this an ideal upgrade battery for models originally supplied with cheaper NiMH packs or lower-capacity alternatives.
Technical Performance
The Voltz 3200mAh 7.4V 40C hard case LiPo stick pack represents serious value in the entry-to-intermediate electric RC battery market. With a capacity of 3200mAh, this battery pack stores 23.68 watt-hours of energy, delivering sustained performance across extended driving sessions without the voltage sag that plagues lower-quality alternatives. The 40C continuous discharge rating ensures that this battery can reliably supply the high currents demanded by modern brushless ESCs and motors, whilst the 80C burst discharge capability handles the peak power demands of aggressive acceleration and high-speed manoeuvres. Weighing just 180g, the battery maintains a light profile that helps preserve your RC vehicle's weight distribution and handling characteristics, which is particularly important in competitive club racing environments where every gram matters. The hard case construction employs durable polymer housing that protects the internal lithium polymer cells whilst remaining significantly lighter than alternative protection methods. Build quality is evidenced by the thoughtful engineering details: the pre-installed Deans connector eliminates the weak point that often occurs in user-soldered connections, whilst the strain relief clip and balance lead protection demonstrate a manufacturer understanding of real-world usage patterns. This battery excels in brushless RC applications from 1/10 scale buggies and stadium trucks through to 1/8 scale truggy platforms, and works equally well as an upgrade for ready to run RTR models that originally shipped with inferior battery specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Voltz 3200mAh 2S LiPo battery compatible with my ready to run RC model? — This battery is designed to work with any RC vehicle that accepts a 2S (7.4V) hard case stick pack around 138 x 46 x 25mm in size. Many popular ready to run models from manufacturers including FTX (such as the FTX Outlaw brushless and FTX Vantage 2.0) accept this battery type as a direct upgrade. If you're uncertain about compatibility with your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's battery compartment dimensions or contacting our team for confirmation.
- Can I use this battery with brushless RC cars? — Absolutely. The 40C continuous discharge rating and 80C burst capability make this battery ideally suited for brushless RC vehicles. The 7.4V nominal voltage is the standard for brushless ESCs across most 1/10 and 1/8 scale models. You'll need to ensure your ESC is configured for LiPo mode rather than NiMH mode, which typically involves adjusting a physical jumper or menu setting on the electronic speed controller.
- What do I need to charge this battery? — You'll need a LiPo-compatible charger that accepts a 2-cell configuration and supports the XH balance connector included with this pack. Standard LiPo chargers available at any RC hobby shop will work perfectly. Never attempt to charge a lithium polymer battery with a standard NiMH or NiCd charger, as this will damage the battery and create a safety hazard.
- How does the 40C discharge rating compare to other batteries? — The 40C continuous discharge rating means this battery can safely discharge at 128 amps peak (3200mAh × 40). This specification is competitive for entry-to-intermediate RC applications and comfortably exceeds the requirements of most standard brushless motor and ESC combinations. Some high-performance racing batteries offer 50C or higher, but for club-level use and general bashing, the 40C specification provides excellent value without unnecessary expense.
- Why does this battery have a hard case? — Hard case protection offers significant advantages over soft-pack alternatives. The durable polymer case shields the vulnerable lithium polymer cells from impact damage, abrasion, and puncture, which extends battery lifespan and maintains safety. Hard cases also help prevent accidental short circuits that can occur if the delicate cell packaging becomes damaged, making them the preferred choice for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this battery is excellent for beginners upgrading from standard ready to run models. The pre-fitted Deans connector eliminates soldering or connector hassles, and the hard case design means less worry about damaging the battery through inexperienced handling. The only requirement is using a LiPo-compatible charger, which is a worthwhile investment even for newcomers to the hobby.
- Will this battery fit my FTX Carnage, FTX Outlaw, or FTX Vantage 2.0? — Yes, this battery is compatible with these FTX models and many others. The 138 x 46 x 25mm stick pack format is the standard size for FTX vehicles using 2S batteries. If you're upgrading from the standard NiMH battery supplied with these models, you may need a Tamiya-to-Deans adapter cable if your original battery used Tamiya connectors, though many FTX models now come with Deans plugs as standard.
