Introducing the New Tarantula Charging Adapter – The Charging Cable For All Your RC Needs
When was the last time you went to get your RC aircraft ready to fly or RC car ready to drive; only to find out you don’t have the right charging cable? There are many standards for RC charging leads, and keeping track of all of them can be a pain. The redesigned Tarantula Charging Cable is a quick and inexpensive solution to this common problem, featuring charging leads for all these common connectors:
- Tamiya
- JST
- Futaba J servo
- Traxxas
- EC3 (E-Flite)
- Standard Glow Plug Igniter
- Plain Wire Leads
The standard RC glow plug igniter charging cable allows you to charge your glow plug igniter quickly and conveniently with your standard charging equipment. This means that you can finally throw out the old “wall wart” type chargers that glow plug igniters come with, and use your standard charging equipment instead. Most standard chargers can run off a 12 Volt field battery (or 12 Volt power supply), so you won’t have to end a good day of flying because of a dead glow plug igniter again.
The plain wire leads allow you to easily solder on other connectors, such as the proprietary ones that come with some RC toys and vehicles. Don’t wait 4 to 5 hours for your battery to trickle charge with the proprietary connector. Swap it for a standard Thunder Power charger and charge your equipment in minutes.
The Tarantula Charging Connector is also compatible with all Multiplex aircraft including the Easystar, Minimag, Funjet, Twister, and Blizzard.
You can replace all of your old, inefficient chargers with a high quality Thunder Power charger and a single Tarantula Charging Adapter. Make the move to a more efficient and reliable charging setup today.

All About the EF MASH Rescue Chopper Indoor RTF RC Electric Helicopter 2.4 GHz
The helicopter became a prominent military asset during the Korean conflict of the early 1950s. The United States Army started using helicopters for medical evacuation in order to increase the survival rate of critically wounded soldiers. Helicopters were used in conjunction with forward mobile army surgical hospitals (MASH units).
When many people think of helicopters being used for medical evacuation in Korea the Bell H13 Sioux (designated the Bell-47 by the US Army) is the one that most comes to mind. Most people know this helicopter as the MASH helicopter because of its important role in the TV series MASH. EF has come out with an amazing flying replica of this famous MASH helicopter.
