Etronix is a recognised leader in RC connector solutions throughout the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly is a Tamiya Y extension adaptor and what does it do? — A Tamiya Y extension adaptor is a connector piece that splits one Tamiya connector into two separate Tamiya connections, or alternatively extends your connector system by creating a Y-shaped branching configuration. This is useful when you need to connect multiple components (such as two battery packs in parallel, or multiple servo leads) to a single source point. It eliminates the need for soldering or complex custom wiring.
• Is this adaptor suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The Etronix Tamiya Y Extension Adaptor is ideal for beginners because it requires no soldering, crimping, or technical electrical knowledge to use. Simply plug your Tamiya connectors into the appropriate positions on the adaptor, and you're ready to go. This makes it perfect for anyone new to RC hobbies who wants to expand their setup without learning advanced electrical skills.
• What RC models can I use this adaptor with? — This adaptor is compatible with any RC model that uses Tamiya-style connectors, which includes many popular RC cars, trucks, buggies, and other vehicles. If your model or battery pack has a Tamiya connector, this adaptor will work with it. It's particularly common in classic RC vehicles and many modern budget-friendly models throughout the RC car UK market.
• Can I use this adaptor to charge my battery? — While this adaptor can be used as part of a charging configuration, you should always refer to your specific charger's requirements and your battery pack's specifications. The adaptor itself is simply a connector — the safety and compatibility of your charging setup depends on matching your charger's output to your battery's requirements. Always verify correct polarity before charging.
• How do I know if I need a Tamiya Y extension adaptor? — You'll need one if you want to connect multiple batteries in parallel, split one connection into two, extend your electrical connections, or manage complex wiring setups without soldering. If you're building a new RC model and finding that your connector layout doesn't match your component arrangement, this adaptor provides an elegant solution.
• Is this different from other Tamiya adaptor products? — Etronix makes several related Tamiya adapter products for different applications. The ET0713 is specifically a Y-configuration extension adaptor. Etronix also produces the ET0714 Female Tamiya Y Extension Adaptor and the ET0715 Tamiya Extension Adaptor, each designed for slightly different connector configurations.
