Overview
The Powerhobby 6V 5000mAh 5-Cell NiMH Hump Receiver Battery for 1/5 Scale RC is a heavy-duty 5-cell NiMH receiver pack engineered specifically for 1/5-scale gas/nitro RC cars and trucks that require a dedicated 6V receiver battery. With 5000mAh of capacity in a hump-pack form factor, this pack delivers extended runtime to your receiver and high-torque servos in 1/5-scale platforms — essential for the long throttle and steering loads typical of large-scale RC.
NiMH chemistry provides safe, reliable, and forgiving receiver power with simple charging requirements (no balance leads required). The hump form factor fits standard 1/5-scale RX battery compartments, and the included receiver/servo connector provides plug-and-play compatibility with most 1/5-scale receivers.
