Frequently asked questions

How many AA batteries are required?

The box is designed to hold the standard number of AA cells specified in the kit instructions; verify the count before fitting to ensure correct voltage for your project.

Are there mounting options for models?

You can secure the battery box to chassis or project boards using small screws, double-sided tape, or zip ties depending on your build and how permanent you want the installation to be.

What maintenance does it need?

Keep contacts clean and remove batteries if storing the unit long term to avoid corrosion. Regularly check wiring for wear when used in clubs or regular sessions.

Can it power small motors directly?

Yes, it can power small DC motors found in many Tamiya kits, but confirm motor current draw to avoid draining batteries too quickly or overheating wiring.
