Spunkymunky88 Posted July 13, 2024 Share Posted July 13, 2024 Hi I'm currently considering buying an arrma I have 6x 3s battery's for the very little cars that I own all of them have xt90 connectors If I buy an arrma it's going to have a different connector is there any disadvantages to using adaptors? so I don't have to buy new battery's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 13, 2024 Share Posted July 13, 2024 You shouldnt have a problem using adapters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted July 14, 2024 Share Posted July 14, 2024 Used different types of adapters over the years and never had a problem. Only one I would never use is a tamiya to another because tamiya connectors have a low current rating and depending on the power requirements of your setup you could overload it.

Yorkshireman Posted July 14, 2024 Share Posted July 14, 2024 Only adapter I've had trouble with was EC5/Deans...it melted after a few runs ! XT90 to EC5 should be OK 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 Deans are really old technology, probably 15 years ago they came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 Ive not had any probs with authentic deans but some of the copies are a tad suspect but yeh old tech now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
