Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Prerequisites: You have a T-Plug battery and a device with a Tamiya port.

• Feature Upgrade: This adapter lets you ditch heavy, low-capacity NiMH batteries and switch to lightweight, high-capacity LiPos without soldering a new connector onto your beloved RC car.

• Effort Level: Plug & Play.

Virtual Technician & Wiring

• ⚠️ Current Warning: The Tamiya connector is the "weak link". Do not use this adapter for high-current brushless systems (>20A) or the Tamiya plug may melt. It is designed for brushed motors and stock setups.

• Connection Logic:

  • T-Plug Side: Connects to the Battery.

  • Tamiya Side: Connects to the Car/Gun/ESC.

Accessories & Parts

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is this "Odamiya" the same as Tamiya? Yes, "Odamiya" is a common local name for the standard Tamiya connector.

2. Is polarity standard? Yes, Square = Red (+). Please double-check your device to be safe.

3. Can I use a 3S LiPo with this? The cable handles the voltage, but make sure your Tamiya-equipped device can handle 11.1V!

4. Is the wire silicone? Yes, 16AWG silicone.

5. Can I use this on a brushless truck? We don't recommend Tamiya connectors for brushless power. They get hot and melt. Solder a T-Plug directly instead.

6. What is the max amp rating? Approx 15 Amps (limited by the Tamiya plug).

7. Is the T-Plug Male or Female? It is Male (Prongs exposed) to plug into a standard Female Battery.

8. What is the length? 10cm.

9. Can I use this to charge? Yes, if your charging setup matches the gender.

10. Is it waterproof? No.

11. Why is Tamiya called "Male" if it's on the battery? RC convention names the housing with the latch "Male", even if it holds female pins.

12. Does it snap lock? Yes, the Tamiya side has a locking latch.

13. Is the soldering reliable? Yes, Probots QC verified.

14. Can I use this for my boat? Yes, for brushed motor setups.

15. Is the wire copper? Yes, Tinned Copper.

16. Can I cut the wires? Yes, if you want to harvest the connectors.

17. Will this fit a Tamiya Grasshopper? Yes, if it still has the stock connector.

18. Is this compatible with Kyosho plugs? Kyosho often uses the same Tamiya style plug.
