TraxxasAc To DC Adapter

I bought this AC to DC adapter because I did not like the fact that Traxxas included only a fast charging Car charger with my Traxxas Slash 2wd, which I bought on Amazon. They should include a standard wall charger in my opinion. By "they" i mean Traxxas. With that said,..there is nothing wrong with this AC to DC adapter...it works fine,..and does what its supposed to do. I would recommend this adapter if you are like me and find it more practical to charge from a wall socket rather than waiting for a battery to charge in your car for 35-40 mins.(yes,..i timed the car charger). I didnt want to shell out $40+ for the 4amp, fast, battery ID, wall charger by Traxxas. The charging time with this adapter and the car charger included in the Traxxas Slash 2wd is the same, 35-40 mins just like the car charger by itself in your vehicle. I would recommend this adapter for wall charging at home.

A must have for Traxxas RTR iD model trucks. Trucks come out of box with a 12v cigarette lighter charger only. (Which is super annoying) This product works well for what it was intended for. Capable of fast charging up to 4 amps which is nice. Traxxas makes a 2amp wall charger that in my opinion should be included in their ready to race packages instead.

Item works great to charge the battery on my traxxas bigfoot.

It works but 4 stars because Traxxas doesn't include this with the actual car. NOBODY IS GOING TO CHARGE THESE IN THEIR CARS. It's worth buying before you destroy your first battery and charger like I did by trying to buy a cheap version of this.

It does what it is suppose to do, though I wish the expensive RC car came with a wall charger in the first place, instead it came with a car charger so I needed to buy this adapter.Power usage isn't bad either, with 0.0 to 0.5 watts being used according to my power meter with nothing plugged in it and about 1.2 watts when the charger is plugged in and not hooked up to anything (not charging any batteries)... but you may want to at least unplug the charger when not being used, or better yet, just unplug the entire adapter when not used to save a little money and for safety reasons (better to be unplugged when not in use anyway).Oh, and buy from a reputable place to make sure you get the real thing.

Not sure why Traxxis doesn’t include this or a more modern charger for the electric RC’s. For what you pay for one of their vehicles it should be included! Either way I had to have it for our sons new Traxxis RC and it works as intended.

The Traxxas AC to DC Adapter is a convenient accessory that allows for easy and hassle-free charging of RC cars. However, my overall experience with this product has been affected by the disappointment of it being sold separately instead of being included with the original RC car purchase.On the positive side, the adapter itself functions well and provides a practical solution for charging RC cars using a standard AC outlet. Its design and functionality align with the high-quality standards that Traxxas is known for, ensuring efficient and safe charging.The convenience of the AC to DC adapter cannot be denied, especially for those who prefer a simple and straightforward charging process for their RC cars. It eliminates the need for additional batteries or complex charging setups, making it an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts.However, my disappointment lies in the fact that the adapter is not included with the original purchase of the RC car. Having to buy it separately feels like an unnecessary additional expense, and it would have been more customer-friendly to include it as part of the package.While I understand that some accessories may be sold separately to keep the base cost of the RC car competitive, the AC to DC adapter is a fundamental requirement for charging the vehicle. Including it with the original purchase would have added value to the overall package and provided a more satisfying buying experience.In conclusion, the Traxxas AC to DC Adapter is a functional and convenient accessory that enhances the charging process for RC cars. Its efficient performance aligns with Traxxas' quality standards. However, my disappointment stems from it being sold separately instead of being included with the original RC car purchase. I would recommend considering this adapter as a necessary investment for a complete RC car setup, even though the decision to sell it separately feels regrettable.
