The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Maximum Power Delivery! If you are upgrading to a high-performance motor, you need the electrical infrastructure to support it. The standard copper battery terminals that come in most kits can oxidize over time, creating electrical resistance that robs your car of top speed. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider these gold-plated terminals a mandatory upgrade for any racer dropping a Dash-series motor into their machine for our fast-paced indoor track.
Unleash Your Motor's Potential Gold is an exceptional conductor of electricity and, more importantly, it resists corrosion and rust far better than standard metals. These upgraded terminals ensure that every ounce of power from your AA batteries flows directly to your motor without a bottleneck. This translates to snappier acceleration off the starting line and a higher sustained top speed throughout the race.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Premium Conductivity: Gold-plated finish provides superior electrical efficiency to handle high-amp draw from upgraded motors.
Long-Lasting Performance: Highly rust-resistant surfaces ensure your electrical connections remain clean and effective over a long racing season.
Essential Power Upgrade: The perfect companion upgrade when stepping up to high-revving, power-hungry motors.
Chassis Compatibility: Designed to fit FM-A, Super X, Super XX, VS, AR, and VZ Chassis platforms.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Even gold terminals can get dirty from track dust and battery residue! To keep your machine running at peak performance, we recommend gently wiping the contact points with a clean microfiber cloth or a cotton swab with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol before the finals on race day. Clean contacts mean consistent lap times!
