Overview
The LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) 300mm is a professional-grade extension lead designed for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and flexibility in their radio control setups. Whether you're building a custom RC car, configuring an aircraft system, or setting up a boat's receiver connections, this 300mm extension lead provides the extra reach you need whilst maintaining pristine signal integrity. Built with twisted silicone wire construction and heavy-duty materials, this lead is compatible with all Futaba-type plugs, making it an essential accessory for any RC hobbyist in the UK working with Futaba radio systems.
This extension lead is engineered for demanding RC applications where a standard servo lead just won't reach. The 300mm length strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and practicality, allowing you to route connections away from heat sources, position receivers optimally within your chassis, or create neat, custom wiring arrangements in your RC model. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK enthusiast, an aircraft modeller, or someone exploring the hobby for the first time, having quality extension leads in your spare parts box is essential for troubleshooting, component replacement, and system modifications.
Built to the exacting standards you'd expect from a Logic RC product, this silicone extension lead features gold-plated connections that resist corrosion and maintain excellent conductivity over years of use. The high-quality mouldings protect the connectors from damage during handling and storage, whilst the twisted 22AWG silicone wire provides both durability and flexibility. This is the kind of lead that belongs in every RC enthusiast's toolkit, from casual weekend bashers to competitive RC car racers and scale aircraft builders.
Key Features
- 300mm Length — This mid-range extension provides sufficient reach for most receiver and servo routing applications without creating excessive cable management challenges, making it ideal for both compact racing setups and larger scale models.
- Twisted 22AWG Silicone Wire — The twisted construction improves flexibility and reduces kinking, whilst the 22AWG gauge provides excellent conductivity with minimal resistance, ensuring clean signal transmission to your servos and receivers.
- Gold-Plated Connections — Gold plating resists oxidation and corrosion far better than standard connectors, ensuring reliable connections even in damp garage environments or after extended storage periods.
- Futaba Type Compatibility — This lead works with all standard Futaba-type plugs, making it universally compatible with Futaba radio systems and compatible third-party components throughout the RC industry.
- High-Quality Mouldings — The robust plastic mouldings around the connectors protect against accidental damage, short circuits, and wear, extending the lead's service life considerably.
- Heavy-Duty Construction — Engineered for demanding applications, this lead withstands repeated connection and disconnection cycles without degradation, making it suitable for workshop use and field repairs.
Technical Performance
The LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) 300mm delivers professional-grade performance through careful engineering of every component. The twisted 22AWG silicone wire offers superior flexibility compared to standard PVC-insulated alternatives, allowing clean routing through tight spaces within your RC model chassis without cracking or kinking the insulation. Silicone wire is particularly valued in RC applications because it maintains its flexibility even at temperature extremes, a crucial advantage when your model encounters varying weather conditions or when components generate heat during operation. The gold-plated connections on both ends minimise contact resistance, which is critical for servo control circuits where signal integrity directly impacts your model's responsiveness. Each connection point has been carefully moulded to professional standards, ensuring the connector seats firmly and securely within Futaba-type receptacles. The 300mm length (approximately 30 centimetres) positions this lead perfectly for routing receiver antennae away from metal components, extending servo connections to newly added servos, or creating custom wiring harnesses for bespoke RC installations. This is a lead that performs identically whether you're using it with a basic single-channel receiver or within a sophisticated multi-channel setup. The twisted wire construction specifically resists electromagnetic interference better than straight-laid alternatives, maintaining clean signal paths crucial for precision control in competitive RC car UK racing or scale aircraft work.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this extension lead work with my Futaba radio system? — Yes, this extension lead is fully compatible with all Futaba-type plugs, which includes original Futaba components and compatible third-party manufacturers. If your receiver or servo has a standard Futaba connector, this lead will work perfectly.
- What is the difference between the silicone version and the heavy-duty HD version? — The silicone version (this product) features twisted silicone wire which offers superior flexibility and temperature resistance, making it ideal for high-vibration applications and models subject to temperature variations. The HD versions use different insulation materials and may have different wire construction. Both offer gold-plated connections and heavy-duty construction, but the silicone variant provides enhanced flexibility.
- Is 300mm long enough for my needs? — The 300mm length is suitable for most standard receiver and servo routing applications. If you need longer reach, LOGIC offers extension leads up to 1000mm in the same silicone construction. For shorter distances, 100mm, 200mm and other lengths are available. Consider where you'll route the lead within your chassis and measure the distance you need to bridge.
- Can I use this lead in wet or damp conditions? — Silicone insulation provides excellent moisture resistance compared to standard PVC, and the gold-plated connectors resist corrosion from humidity and salt spray. However, ensure connectors are dry before plugging in, and store the lead in a dry location. This makes it suitable for humid climates and coastal RC flying sites.
- Is this lead suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Extension leads are essential components for any RC user, from complete beginners to seasoned competitors. Whether you're learning to understand your radio system's components or building advanced custom installations, having quality extension leads available makes the hobby more enjoyable and troubleshooting easier.
- What happens if my connector becomes loose over time? — The gold-plated connections and precision mouldings are engineered to maintain consistent contact pressure. However, connectors naturally experience minor wear with repeated use. You can extend the life of your lead by handling connectors gently, avoiding excessive force when plugging and unplugging, and storing the lead properly in a protective case or container.
