Currently sold out at buddyrc.com
This direct connect adapter goes from a male Tamiya plug to a female EC3, so a Tamiya-style battery can power a vehicle or component wired for EC3. It is a small, inexpensive fix for mismatched connectors on surface RC gear. It suits owners with older Tamiya packs and EC3-equipped models.
