Key Features

• 500mm Length — The half-metre length, measured including the connectors, provides excellent flexibility for routing cables through your RC chassis without excessive slack or tension that could damage delicate connections during hard landings or crashes.
• Male to Female Futaba Configuration — This extension connects directly from your receiver's servo port to your servo, using the industry-standard Futaba connector type that is compatible with all genuine Futaba equipment and most quality aftermarket servos designed for RC vehicles.
• Heavy Duty Twisted Construction — The twisted cable design minimises electromagnetic interference and provides superior shielding compared to standard untwisted leads, ensuring clean signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments typical of RC racing paddocks and busy hobby shops.
• 60-Strand Wire Construction — The 60-strand copper core provides exceptional flexibility and durability, allowing the cable to flex and bend repeatedly without developing stress fractures or signal loss, which is critical during aggressive driving sessions or when routing through tight chassis spaces.
• 22AWG Wire Gauge — This gauge provides the optimal balance between current carrying capacity and flexibility, supporting demanding servo applications whilst remaining easy to route and position within your RC car's tight internal spaces.
• Futaba Colour Identification — The black, white and red wiring follows Futaba's standard colour convention, allowing instant visual identification of signal, ground and power lines without confusion or mistakes that could damage your equipment.
• Integrated Connector Clip — The secure connector clip holds the extension lead firmly in place during operation, preventing accidental disconnection during jumps, crashes or high-speed runs that could otherwise cause loss of servo control.
• 1.5mm Outer Diameter — The slim profile allows the cable to pass through tight cable routing channels and vehicle chassis apertures without creating bulges or stress points that could impede suspension movement or cause binding.
• 2mm Product Diameter — Measured at the widest point including the connector housing, this compact profile ensures the extension integrates neatly into your RC setup without cluttering the receiver area or interfering with other components.

Technical Performance

The Radient Futaba Twisted HD Extension Lead represents serious engineering for RC hobbyists who understand that quality connections are the foundation of reliable vehicle control. Built from 60-strand copper wire at 22AWG gauge, this lead delivers the current carrying capacity needed for demanding servo applications whilst maintaining the flexibility essential for routing through modern RC chassis designs. The twisted cable construction actively reduces electromagnetic interference, which becomes increasingly important as your RC setup grows more sophisticated with brushless motors, digital servos and advanced receiver systems. The heavy-duty Futaba connector ensures secure mating with your receiver's servo ports, eliminating the loose connections that can cause frustrating signal loss during crucial moments in competition or trail running. At 500mm in length including connectors, this extension strikes the perfect balance between providing useful cable reach and avoiding excess slack that could create routing problems or snagging hazards. The integrated connector clip is a thoughtful engineering detail that prevents accidental disconnection during the vibration and impacts inherent in RC driving. Whether you're operating a high-speed brushless RC car on the track, a rock crawling vehicle navigating challenging terrain, or a bashed-about basher truck, this extension lead provides the reliability and durability you need. The slim 1.5mm outer diameter allows routing through modern tight-tolerance RC chassis designs without binding or creating stress points. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand genuine quality components rather than budget alternatives, the Radient Futaba Twisted HD Extension Lead is an investment in reliability and performance that will last through countless driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this extension lead compatible with my Futaba receiver? — Yes, this extension lead features authentic Futaba connectors with the standard black, white and red colour-coding, making it fully compatible with all genuine Futaba receivers and most quality aftermarket servos designed for RC vehicles. The male-to-female configuration allows it to connect directly from your receiver's servo port to your servo.
• What is the twisted construction and why does it matter? — The twisted cable design actively reduces electromagnetic interference by minimising the loop area that can pick up stray signals from brushless motors and other electrical components. This results in cleaner servo operation and more precise control, particularly important in competitive RC racing where milliseconds of servo response time matter.
• Can I use this for a high-speed brushless RC car? — Absolutely. The 22AWG wire gauge and 60-strand construction provide excellent current carrying capacity for demanding servo applications. The twisted construction also helps shield the signal from interference generated by brushless motor systems, making it ideal for high-performance RC cars across the UK.
• What does the connector clip do? — The integrated connector clip holds the extension lead securely in place during operation, preventing accidental disconnection that could occur during jumps, crashes or sustained vibration. This is particularly valuable during competitive driving or rough terrain bashing where servo reliability is critical.
• What is the 1.5mm outer diameter and why is it important? — The 1.5mm outer diameter refers to the cable's slim profile, allowing it to route through tight spaces within modern RC chassis designs without creating bulges, binding with suspension components or impeding movement. This compact design ensures your extension integrates neatly into your setup.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this extension lead is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The Futaba connector type is industry-standard, the colour-coded wires eliminate confusion about correct polarity, and the integrated clip makes installation straightforward. Even beginners benefit from the quality construction and reliability this lead provides.
• What makes this extension lead better than cheaper alternatives? — The 60-strand twisted construction, heavy-duty 22AWG gauge, integrated connector clip and authentic Futaba compatibility distinguish this lead from budget alternatives. The twisted design reduces interference, the generous strand count ensures durability through repeated flexing, and the quality connector clip prevents disconnection failures that plague cheaper leads.
• Can I use this for multiple servos? — This is a single extension lead designed to connect one receiver servo port to one servo. If you need to extend multiple servo connections, you would require multiple extension leads or a servo extension harness with multiple ports.
