Overview

The LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) 500mm is a premium extension lead designed for RC hobbyists who demand reliability and flexibility in their radio control setups. Whether you're building a custom RC car UK configuration, setting up a scale aircraft, or extending the reach of your receiver connections, this 500mm silicone extension lead offers the perfect balance of length and manoeuvrability. Compatible with all Futaba type plugs, this lead is an essential accessory for anyone running Futaba radio systems in their RC vehicles, helicopters, or aircraft.

This extension lead is manufactured by LOGIC RC, a trusted name in RC accessories and spare parts. The silicone construction sets it apart from standard PVC alternatives, offering superior flexibility, durability, and temperature resistance. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying off-road RC fun, a competition racer fine-tuning your setup, or a scale modeller building intricate aircraft or vehicles, having quality extension leads in your workshop is essential. The 500mm length strikes an ideal balance—long enough to route connections away from hot components or around complex chassis layouts, yet short enough to avoid excessive wire runs and potential signal degradation.

RC hobbyists in the UK and beyond rely on LOGIC RC products for their consistent quality and dependable performance. This silicone extension lead represents the brand's commitment to producing accessories that enhance your RC experience, whether you're setting up a brushless electric buggy, a nitro-powered racing machine, or a full-scale model aircraft. With gold-plated connections and high-quality mouldings, this lead ensures clean, reliable signal transmission every single time you power up your model.

Key Features

• 500mm Length — The 500mm (50cm) extension provides sufficient reach for routing receiver connections around large battery packs, speed controllers, and servo installations without excessive slack, making it ideal for mid-sized and larger RC models where internal space planning is critical.
• Silicone Construction — Unlike standard PVC wire jackets, the silicone outer casing offers superior flexibility even in cold weather, excellent resistance to fuel, oil, and high temperatures, and greater durability for models that experience harsh conditions or extended outdoor use.
• Futaba Type Compatibility — This lead works seamlessly with all Futaba type plugs and connectors, making it universally compatible across the entire Futaba receiver ecosystem and any aftermarket receiver components designed to Futaba standard specifications.
• Gold-Plated Connections — The gold-plated connector pins and sockets provide superior electrical conductivity compared to standard brass connectors, reducing contact resistance and ensuring cleaner signal transmission between your receiver and servos or other components.
• High-Quality Mouldings — Professional-grade plastic mouldings at both connector ends protect against mechanical stress, wire flexing, and internal conductor breakage, extending the service life of the lead and ensuring it withstands repeated connections and disconnections.

Technical Performance

The LOGIC Futaba Ext.Lead (Silicone) 500mm is engineered for demanding RC applications where signal integrity and mechanical reliability are paramount. The silicone jacketing provides exceptional flexibility compared to PVC alternatives, allowing the lead to bend and route through tight spaces without cracking or becoming brittle over time. This is particularly important in complex RC setups where multiple leads must be bundled together or routed around servo arms, battery compartments, and electronic speed controllers. The 500mm length is precisely calibrated to accommodate most receiver-to-servo distances without excessive wire run, which is crucial for maintaining clean signal paths in competitive RC racing and precision flying applications. Gold-plated connections ensure minimal voltage drop across the connector interface, which is especially important when running high-current servos or when signal quality is critical for precise model control. The high-quality plastic mouldings provide strain relief at both ends of the lead, protecting the internal conductors from the repetitive flexing that occurs during normal operation, particularly when leads are regularly connected and disconnected during maintenance, testing, or model switching. Whether you're running a high-speed brushless electric RC car UK, a nitro-powered off-road truck, or a complex multi-servo aircraft, this extension lead delivers the reliability and performance expected from a premium RC accessory brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the LOGIC Futaba 500mm silicone extension lead suitable for all RC applications? — Yes, this extension lead is compatible with all Futaba type plugs and connectors, making it suitable for RC cars, trucks, aircraft, helicopters, and other models that use Futaba radio systems. The 500mm length works well for most standard to large-sized RC models where you need to extend receiver connections beyond their standard length.
• What is the advantage of silicone construction over standard PVC? — Silicone offers superior flexibility, especially in cold weather conditions, better resistance to fuel, oil, and high temperatures, and greater overall durability for models exposed to harsh outdoor environments. Silicone jackets are less likely to crack or become brittle over time compared to PVC alternatives, making them ideal for serious RC enthusiasts who demand longevity and reliability.
• How does the gold-plated connection improve performance? — Gold-plated connectors provide superior electrical conductivity compared to standard brass, reducing contact resistance and ensuring cleaner signal transmission between your receiver and servos. This is particularly important in competitive racing applications or precision flying where signal quality directly impacts model performance and control responsiveness.
• What other LOGIC Futaba extension leads are available? — LOGIC RC offers Futaba extension leads in multiple lengths including 100mm, 200mm, 300mm, 600mm, 750mm, and 1000mm, each available in both heavy-duty (HD) and silicone construction. Additionally, silicone options are available in 200mm, 300mm, 750mm, and 1000mm lengths, allowing you to select the perfect lead for your specific RC setup requirements.
• Can I use this lead with Spektrum or JR receivers? — No, this lead is specifically designed for Futaba type connectors. If you use Spektrum or JR type receivers, you will need a Spektrum/JR type extension lead. Always verify your receiver connector type before purchasing extension leads.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this extension lead is suitable for hobbyists of all experience levels. Whether you're a complete beginner setting up your first RC car or an experienced modeller maintaining a collection of vehicles, extension leads are essential workshop accessories. The straightforward plug-and-play design requires no technical knowledge—simply connect the Futaba type plugs to your receiver and servo connections.
