Whether you're a seasoned RC car enthusiast running brushless motors on your 1/10 scale buggy, operating crawler trucks, or maintaining a collection of electric RC vehicles, this versatile power attachment delivers the connectivity you need. The multiple outlet configuration allows you to power several devices simultaneously, making it invaluable in the workshop, at the track, or during competitive RC racing events.
This power attachment is particularly valuable for UK-based RC model enthusiasts who are building custom setups, managing battery charging stations, or running multiple models during a session.

Fastrax is a recognised manufacturer in the RC hobby world, and this accessory reflects their commitment to providing practical solutions for modellers of all skill levels, from weekend bashers to serious competitors.
The 12V rating makes this attachment compatible with standard power supplies and battery systems commonly used in RC shops and home workshops throughout the UK. If you're serious about maintaining your RC car collection—whether that's a brushless touring car, an electric monster truck, or a scale crawler—having reliable power distribution equipment is non-negotiable. The Fastrax 12V Multiple Power Attachment represents excellent value for money and is designed to last through years of regular use.
Key Features
- 12V Rated Power Output — This attachment is specifically rated for 12V operation, making it compatible with standard workshop power supplies, regulated bench supplies, and portable power stations commonly used by RC enthusiasts in the UK. The 12V specification ensures safe and reliable operation with most standard RC chargers and power equipment.
- Multiple Power Outlets — Rather than forcing you to choose between powering one device or another, the multiple outlet design allows simultaneous connection of several accessories, chargers, and powered tools. This is especially useful when you're running multiple RC models or need to charge batteries whilst powering other workshop equipment.
- Crocodile Clip Connectors — The integrated crocodile clips provide a secure, reliable connection to your power source without requiring dedicated connectors or adapters. These clips bite firmly onto battery terminals or power post connectors, minimising the risk of accidental disconnection during operation or charging.
- Practical Workshop Design — Built with the RC modeller's workspace in mind, this attachment simplifies power management and reduces cable clutter. Instead of managing multiple separate power leads, you can consolidate connections through this single hub, making your workshop more organised and efficient.
- Fastrax Quality and Reliability — As a Fastrax product, this power attachment benefits from the manufacturer's reputation for producing durable, practical RC accessories that withstand the demands of serious hobbyists. It's designed to handle regular use without deterioration or performance loss.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 12V Multiple Power Attachment is engineered for straightforward functionality and reliability in the RC workshop environment. Designed to work with 12V power systems, it accommodates the voltage requirements of most RC charging setups, ESC programming devices, and workshop tools. The crocodile clip connectors are manufactured to grip securely without slipping, a critical requirement when working with electrical connections that power expensive RC equipment. The multiple outlet configuration—whilst the exact number of outlets should be confirmed with current stock—provides genuine flexibility for modellers managing several simultaneous charging sessions or powering multiple workshop devices. The construction prioritises durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring the attachment maintains reliable performance through seasonal storage and regular hands-on use. This is the type of accessory that becomes indispensable once you've experienced the convenience it provides, particularly for anyone running a serious RC car collection or operating a workshop where multiple battery packs require regular charging.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Fastrax 12V Multiple Power Attachment used for? — This accessory serves as a power distribution hub for your RC workshop or charging station. It allows you to connect a single 12V power source and distribute that power to multiple devices simultaneously—such as battery chargers, ESC programmers, glow plug starters, or other 12V powered RC accessories. This eliminates the need for multiple separate power cables and reduces workshop clutter significantly.
- Is this suitable for beginners and casual RC modellers? — Absolutely. Whilst serious competitors and workshop professionals will appreciate the efficiency gains, this attachment is equally valuable for casual RC enthusiasts in the UK who enjoy weekend bashing with their brushless RC cars or maintaining a small collection of electric models. If you own more than one RC vehicle or find yourself charging multiple batteries, this attachment will improve your workshop experience.
- What power source does this need? — The Fastrax 12V Multiple Power Attachment requires a 12V power supply. This can be a regulated bench power supply (common in serious RC workshops), a 12V battery pack, a car auxiliary outlet, or any other 12V power source. The crocodile clips simply connect to the positive and negative terminals of your power source, making setup straightforward for anyone experienced with RC equipment.
- Can I use this with different types of RC vehicles? — Yes, this is a power distribution device rather than vehicle-specific equipment. Whether you're running electric buggy races, operating a scale crawler, charging brushless touring car batteries, or working on any other type of electric RC model, this attachment will serve as a useful workshop tool. The 12V rating makes it compatible with most standard RC workshop setups used in the UK and beyond.
- How does this compare to running separate power cables? — Managing multiple separate 12V cables to different devices creates a tangled, disorganised workspace and increases the risk of accidentally disconnecting a charger mid-cycle. This multiple outlet attachment consolidates all your connections through a single hub, keeping your workshop tidy and reducing the likelihood of operational errors. For anyone serious about their RC hobby, this organisation alone justifies the modest investment.
