Overview
The Radient Futaba HD Extension Lead with Clip 1000mm (RDNAC010209) is an essential servo extension cable for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliable wiring solutions for their models. Whether you're building a custom RC car setup, upgrading your RC crawler, or fine-tuning the electronics in your RC buggy, this heavy-duty extension lead provides the dependable connection you need. At 1000mm in length, it bridges the gap between servo receivers and control surfaces when components are positioned further apart in your chassis, enabling neat and professional installations without compromising signal integrity or electrical performance.
Designed specifically for Futaba servo systems, this extension lead is the perfect accessory for RC model builders who refuse to compromise on quality. If you've ever struggled with servo reach in a large-scale RC truck or needed to route wiring cleanly through a complex chassis layout, you'll appreciate the generous 1000mm length that gives you genuine flexibility in your build. The included connector clip is a thoughtful addition that keeps your plugs firmly secured during use, preventing vibration-induced disconnections that could spell disaster during a crucial race or bash session.
Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor running a precision-built 1/10 scale off-road buggy or a weekend basher with a backyard-friendly RC short-course truck, this Radient extension lead offers the reliability and build quality that serious RC enthusiasts expect. It's not just a cable—it's peace of mind that your servo commands will reach their destination every single time.
Key Features
- 1000mm Total Length — At one metre including connectors, this extension lead provides ample reach for installations where your servo receiver and control surfaces are positioned some distance apart, allowing for clean routing and professional-looking builds without signal degradation.
- Male to Female Futaba Connectors — Specifically designed with Futaba-compatible connectors featuring the standard black, white and red wiring configuration, ensuring perfect compatibility with Futaba servo systems and receivers commonly used in RC vehicles across the UK.
- Heavy-Duty 60-Strand Construction — The wire comprises 60 individual strands, providing superior flexibility and durability compared to single-strand or low-strand alternatives, meaning the cable won't crack or become brittle even after repeated flexing and movement during use.
- 22AWG Wire Gauge — This gauge provides the optimal balance between current-carrying capacity and flexibility, ensuring low-resistance connections that maintain signal strength whilst remaining easy to work with during installation.
- Low-Resistance Connection — The high-quality 60-strand wire construction ensures minimal electrical resistance across the entire 1000mm length, preserving signal integrity and servo response time, which is critical for competitive RC racing and precision control work.
- Included Connector Clip — The supplied clip keeps your male and female connectors firmly secured together during operation, preventing vibration-induced disconnections that could cause loss of servo control during a crucial moment on the track or trail.
- 1.5mm Outer Diameter — The slim profile makes routing through tight spaces easier whilst maintaining durability, allowing you to integrate this extension lead seamlessly into your RC car wiring harness without bulk.
- Quality Radient Brand — Manufactured by Radient, a recognised name in RC accessories and components, this extension lead represents the quality and reliability that serious RC modellers depend on for their builds.
Technical Performance
The Radient Futaba HD Extension Lead delivers professional-grade performance through careful engineering and material selection. The 22AWG wire specification is chosen specifically for servo extension applications, providing sufficient current capacity for standard servo operation whilst maintaining the flexibility needed for routing through modern RC chassis designs. The 60-strand wire construction is where this lead truly excels—each of those 60 individual copper strands shares the electrical load, reducing overall resistance and ensuring that voltage delivered to your servo remains clean and stable even under the demanding conditions of high-speed RC racing or technical trail crawling. The 1.5mm outer diameter keeps the profile compact without sacrificing durability, and the standard Futaba connector configuration—featuring black, white and red wires—ensures immediate compatibility with virtually every Futaba servo receiver and servo system in use throughout the UK RC community. At 1000mm in total length including the connectors themselves, this lead bridges realistic distances within modern RC models whilst the included connector clip provides the mechanical security needed to prevent disconnections caused by vibration, impacts or repeated flexing during intensive use. Whether you're running a Futaba T10PXR transmitter with precision servos in a 1/10 scale competition buggy or building a capable 1/8 scale rock crawler with multiple control surfaces, this extension lead offers the engineering and reliability that translates to better vehicle control and fewer electrical headaches in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this extension lead suitable for all servo types in my RC model? — This extension lead is specifically designed for Futaba-compatible servos and receivers, so it will work with all Futaba servo systems. If your RC car or RC truck uses a different servo brand or connector type (such as JR or Spektrum), you would need a different extension lead designed for that system.
- What is the connector clip for and why do I need it? — The connector clip holds your male and female Futaba plugs together, preventing them from vibrating apart during operation. This is particularly important in high-vibration environments like off-road RC racing or aggressive bashing, where repeated impacts could otherwise cause a loose connection and loss of servo control.
- Will this extension lead work with my RC car's receiver? — Yes, provided your receiver uses Futaba-compatible connectors. The standard male to female configuration allows you to connect directly to your receiver's servo port and extend reach to a servo mounted elsewhere in your chassis.
- How much does this extension lead weigh? — At just 0.02kg (20 grams), the weight impact on your RC model is negligible, making this suitable even for lightweight competition builds where every gram counts.
- Can I use this for multiple servos? — This is a single extension lead designed to extend one servo connection. If you need to extend multiple servos, you would require multiple extension leads.
- What is 22AWG wire and why does it matter? — AWG (American Wire Gauge) measures wire thickness. 22AWG is the standard gauge for servo extension leads, providing excellent balance between current capacity and flexibility. It's thick enough to safely carry servo current without voltage drop, yet thin enough to route easily through your RC chassis.
- Is this extension lead suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This extension lead is ideal for anyone building or modifying an RC model with Futaba servos. Installation is straightforward—simply plug the male end into your receiver and the female end into your servo, and use the clip to secure the connection.
