Overview
The LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) 200mm is a premium extension lead designed for RC enthusiasts who demand reliable connectivity and clean cable management in their models. Whether you're building a brushless RC car, electric aircraft, or any RC application that uses Futaba-type connectors, this 200mm extension lead provides the perfect balance between reach and neatness. The silicone construction offers superior flexibility compared to standard leads, making it ideal for positioning servo receivers, speed controllers and other components in tight spaces within your RC car, plane or helicopter. This is an essential component for anyone serious about RC hobby in the UK, from weekend bashers to competitive racers who need dependable connections without signal loss.
The extension lead is manufactured to exacting standards by LOGIC, a trusted brand in the RC industry. The 200mm length is particularly useful when you need to extend the distance between your receiver and servos, or between your ESC and battery, without creating excessive cable clutter. The silicone jacket provides excellent flexibility, allowing you to route the lead neatly around the internal architecture of your model whilst maintaining consistent performance. This makes it an excellent choice for those building compact models where space is at a premium, or for anyone upgrading their existing RC setup with better quality cabling.
Built with high-quality mouldings and wire throughout, this extension lead is engineered for durability in demanding RC applications. The gold-plated connections ensure reliable signal and power transfer, eliminating the risk of poor contact or voltage drop that can compromise your model's performance. Whether you're running a 2S LiPo battery system or higher voltage configurations, this heavy-duty lead is built to handle the demands of modern RC electronics.
Key Features
- 200mm Length — The 200mm cable length provides the perfect extension reach for neat and tidy cable runs within your RC model, allowing you to position components cleanly and efficiently without excess cable that could create weight or create routing problems in confined spaces.
- Gold-Plated Connections — Gold-plated plugs on both ends deliver superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring consistent signal and power transfer every time you run your model, with minimal resistance that could otherwise cause performance loss or voltage sag.
- Silicone Construction — The flexible silicone jacket offers superior bend radius and flexibility compared to standard PVC leads, allowing you to route the cable around tight corners and through confined spaces within your model without cracking or degrading the insulation over time.
- Heavy-Duty Mouldings — The connectors feature robust mouldings that protect the solder joints and wiring, providing durability and reliability in the demanding environment of RC vehicles, aircraft and helicopters where vibration and rough handling are common.
- High-Quality Wire — Premium gauge wiring minimises resistance and voltage drop, ensuring full power delivery to your servo, receiver or speed controller whilst maintaining signal integrity for reliable operation every time.
- Futaba-Type Compatible — These connectors fit all standard Futaba-type plugs, making this lead compatible with a vast range of RC equipment including receivers, servos, Y-leads and extension leads from multiple manufacturers, giving you flexibility in your setup choices.
Technical Performance
The LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) 200mm is engineered with precision to deliver reliable performance in all RC applications. The silicone construction provides superior flexibility to standard leads, with a bend radius suitable for routing through the tightest spaces in your RC model without risk of damage. The gold-plated connections are a critical feature, as they eliminate the corrosion that can develop on standard brass connectors when exposed to moisture or salt air — particularly important if you're running your RC car on a beach or in damp conditions. The heavy-duty mouldings protect the internal wire connections from stress and vibration, two factors that can degrade inferior leads over time. The premium gauge wire throughout minimises electrical resistance, ensuring that every amp of current flows from your battery through to your servo, receiver or speed controller without unnecessary voltage drop. This is especially important in high-performance RC applications where even small losses in voltage can result in sluggish servo response or reduced motor performance. Whether you're running a modern brushless RC car UK setup, an electric aircraft with multiple servos, or a helicopter requiring precise signal delivery, this extension lead provides the reliability and performance you need.
What's in the Box
- 1x LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) 200mm with gold-plated connectors
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this extension lead suitable for high-voltage LiPo batteries? — Yes, the LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) is designed to work with all standard LiPo battery configurations including 2S, 3S, 4S and higher voltage packs. The heavy-duty construction and gold-plated connections ensure reliable performance regardless of your battery voltage.
- What is the difference between silicone and standard HD extension leads? — Silicone leads offer superior flexibility, better bend radius tolerance and improved durability compared to standard heavy-duty (HD) leads. The silicone jacket is more forgiving when routing through tight spaces and resists cracking or degradation over time, making them ideal for models where space is tight or where the lead will experience frequent flexing.
- Can I use this lead with Futaba receivers and servos? — Yes, this lead features Futaba-type connectors that are fully compatible with all Futaba branded receivers, servos and extension leads. The connectors also work with many third-party RC components that use the standard Futaba connector design.
- Will this extension lead cause signal loss? — No, the premium gauge wire and gold-plated connections minimise electrical resistance and ensure full signal integrity. The 200mm length is short enough that any signal loss would be negligible, and the gold plating prevents the corrosion that could otherwise cause connection resistance.
- Is this suitable for RC cars, aircraft and helicopters? — Yes, this is a universal extension lead suitable for any RC application using Futaba-type connectors, including brushless RC cars, electric aircraft, helicopters, boats and ground-based vehicles. The flexible silicone construction makes it particularly useful in compact models where routing space is limited.
- What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors? — Gold plating provides superior conductivity compared to bare brass and resists corrosion from moisture, salt air and oxidation. This ensures that your connections remain reliable season after season, delivering consistent signal and power transfer without the connection resistance that develops on inferior leads.
