Overview
The SPM Remote Receiver Extension 36-inch (P-SPM9014) is an essential cable component for anyone running a Spektrum RC radio system with satellite receivers. This extension cable connects your main receiver to your remote (satellite) receiver, allowing you to position your receivers optimally within your RC car, truck, buggy or crawler for maximum signal strength and reliability. Whether you're setting up a competitive racing rig, a weekend basher, or a precision scale crawler, having the right receiver cable length is crucial for achieving consistent radio performance across your entire model.
Spektrum is the recognised leader in spread spectrum technology, and this 36-inch extension maintains their high standards for quality and compatibility. The cable features female connectors on both ends, making it a versatile solution for extending your receiver configuration. If you're already running a brushless RC car UK or any other modern Spektrum-equipped model and need to adjust your receiver placement, this extension gives you the flexibility to fine-tune your setup without compromising signal integrity or requiring expensive receiver replacements.
This product is ideal for builders and enthusiasts who want to optimise their radio system performance. Many competitive RC racers and serious hobbyists understand that receiver placement can significantly impact control responsiveness and failsafe reliability. The 36-inch length provides substantial reach whilst staying within safe operating parameters, ensuring your remote receiver satellite gets clean line-of-sight to your transmitter regardless of your vehicle's size or configuration.
Key Features
- 36-inch Extension Length — Provides ample cable length to position your satellite receiver away from the main receiver unit, helping to achieve optimal signal reception across your entire RC vehicle and reducing potential dead zones or signal dropouts that could affect control precision.
- Female Connectors on Both Ends — The connector design on both ends allows seamless integration with standard Spektrum receiver cables, making installation straightforward and ensuring reliable signal transmission without adapters or modifications.
- Spektrum Compatibility — Manufactured by Spektrum, the industry leader in spread spectrum technology, this extension is engineered to maintain the integrity of their advanced radio protocols and failsafe systems, ensuring your receiver setup performs at its best.
- Quality Construction — Built to Spektrum's exacting standards, this extension cable is designed to handle the demands of competitive racing, bashng, and precision RC work, with reliable connectors that maintain consistent electrical contact through extended use.
- Flexible Configuration Options — Works with standard servo extension cables for additional customisation, allowing you to create custom receiver layouts that suit your specific vehicle design and chassis configuration needs.
- Safety Length Standard — The 36-inch total extension length is designed to stay within recommended safe operating parameters for Spektrum systems, preventing signal degradation whilst maximising your receiver positioning flexibility.
Technical Performance
The SPM Remote Receiver Extension 36-inch represents Spektrum's commitment to reliable spread spectrum technology in RC applications. This cable is engineered to maintain signal integrity across its full 36-inch length, ensuring that your satellite receiver maintains clean communication with your main receiver unit regardless of vehicle orientation, speed, or environmental conditions. The female connectors on both ends are designed for secure, repeatable connections that won't loosen during aggressive driving, crashes, or vibration from powerful brushless motors. The extension is constructed with quality shielding to minimise interference and maintain the reliability that Spektrum's advanced radio protocols demand. Whether you're running this in a high-speed 1/10 scale brushless RC car UK, a tough 1/8 scale buggy, or a precision crawler, this cable maintains consistent performance. Users should note that the total extension length—including the extension cable itself plus any additional standard servo extensions—should not exceed 36 inches, as exceeding this length may compromise signal quality and failsafe reliability. This is a critical specification for anyone building complex receiver configurations with multiple satellite receivers or extended cable runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the SPM Remote Receiver Extension 36-inch used for? — This extension cable connects your main Spektrum receiver to your remote (satellite) receiver, allowing you to position them at different locations within your RC vehicle. This is particularly useful when your vehicle's layout doesn't allow the satellite receiver to sit directly next to the main receiver, or when you need to optimise signal reception by positioning the satellite in a location with better line-of-sight to your transmitter.
- Can I use this extension with any Spektrum receiver? — Yes, this extension is designed to work with Spektrum receivers that use compatible connectors. The female connectors on both ends connect standard Spektrum receiver cables, making it compatible with most modern Spektrum radio systems used in ready-to-run RC cars, custom builds, and racing setups across the UK.
- What is the maximum total extension length I can use? — You should not exceed 36 inches in total extension length. This means if you're using this 36-inch extension along with other cables or additional servo extensions, the combined length must stay within this limit to ensure reliable signal transmission and proper failsafe function.
- Can I combine this with other extension cables? — You can utilise a standard servo extension between the two ends of this extension, but the total combined length must not exceed 36 inches. This allows some flexibility for custom configurations, but you must carefully measure your total cable run to stay within safety specifications.
- Is this suitable for competitive racing? — Absolutely. Many competitive RC racers use receiver extensions to optimise their radio system setup. Proper receiver placement can improve signal consistency and reduce the risk of signal dropouts during high-speed runs or in areas with potential interference, making this extension valuable for serious competitors.
- What connector type does this cable use? — The extension features female connectors on both ends, which are the standard Spektrum receiver connectors. This ensures compatibility with Spektrum receiver cables and maintains secure connections during use.
- Why would I need this instead of just repositioning my receivers? — Some RC vehicles have physical constraints that prevent ideal receiver positioning. An extension cable gives you flexibility to place your satellite receiver in a location with better signal reception, away from metal parts of the chassis, or in a position that improves overall system reliability without requiring vehicle modifications.
