Overview

The Radient Futaba Twisted HD Extension Lead with Clip 800mm is an essential accessory for any RC enthusiast working with Futaba-compatible servo and receiver connections. Whether you're setting up a new RC car UK build, upgrading your ready to run RC system, or extending connections on an existing brushless RC vehicle, this heavy-duty extension lead delivers reliable performance and peace of mind. Designed specifically for Futaba-style connectors, this extension lead is finished in the classic black/white/red Futaba colour order, making it instantly recognisable and compatible with standard Futaba equipment.

Measuring 800mm in length including connectors, this male-to-female extension lead gives you the flexibility to position your servo and receiver connections exactly where you need them. The included connector clip is a game-changer for RC hobbyists, providing added security by helping to keep plugs firmly in place during demanding RC driving sessions, whether you're bashing around the track or competing seriously. This is the kind of thoughtful engineering detail that separates quality RC accessories from cheaper alternatives.

Built with premium 60-strand construction and featuring 22AWG wire with a 1.5mm outer diameter, the Radient Futaba Twisted HD Extension Lead offers the durability and electrical performance that serious RC modellers demand. If you're investing in quality RC equipment, you need quality extensions to match. This lead is perfect for RC car enthusiasts, RC truck builders, and anyone who demands reliability from their spare parts and upgrades.

Key Features

• 800mm Length — This substantial extension lead gives you plenty of reach to reposition your servo and receiver connections precisely where you need them in your RC vehicle, whether you're working with compact RC cars or larger RC trucks with more complex layouts.
• Male to Female Futaba Connector — Genuine Futaba-style connectors ensure seamless compatibility with your existing Futaba radio systems, receivers and servos, whether you're using standard RC equipment or specialised racing setups.
• Heavy-Duty 60-Strand Construction — The 60-strand wire construction provides superior durability and flexibility compared to lower-grade alternatives, reducing the risk of internal wire breakage even when the lead is repeatedly flexed during normal RC use.
• Included Connector Clip — The security clip holds your extension lead connections firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnection during aggressive driving, jumps and impacts that are common in RC bashers and competition vehicles.
• 22AWG Wire Gauge — This wire specification is optimised for servo and receiver applications, delivering reliable signal and power transmission without voltage drop that could affect your RC vehicle's responsiveness.
• 1.5mm Outer Diameter — The compact profile of this extension lead makes it easy to route through tight spaces in your RC chassis, whether you're working with 1/10 scale RC cars, crawlers or larger vehicles.
• Black/White/Red Futaba Colour Scheme — The distinctive and colour-coded connector design makes it instantly recognisable and helps you quickly identify Futaba connections in complex RC setups with multiple servo leads.

Technical Performance

This extension lead represents serious engineering for what might seem like a simple accessory. The 60-strand construction provides exceptional flexibility whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for reliable servo and receiver connections in demanding RC applications. The 22AWG wire gauge has been specifically chosen for servo circuits, where consistent signal integrity is absolutely critical for your RC vehicle's handling and responsiveness. Whether you're running a high-performance brushless RC car, a nitro-powered RC truck, or a precision crawler, this extension lead will deliver the electrical performance you depend on. The 1.5mm outer diameter keeps the profile compact, which is essential when routing multiple leads through the confined spaces of modern RC chassis designs. The included connector clip is an often-overlooked but genuinely useful feature that prevents the frustration of loose connections — a particular problem in high-vibration RC applications or during competitive driving where every aspect of reliability matters. For anyone serious about RC hobbies, whether you're a weekend basher or a competition racer, this is the kind of quality spare part that belongs in your tool kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this extension lead compatible with my Futaba RC system? — Yes, this extension lead features genuine Futaba-style connectors in the standard black/white/red colour order, making it fully compatible with all Futaba receivers, servos and equipment commonly used in RC cars, trucks and other RC vehicles in the UK and worldwide.
• Why would I need an 800mm extension lead for my RC vehicle? — An 800mm extension lead allows you to reposition your servo and receiver connections away from their standard mounting locations, which is essential if you're upgrading your RC setup, installing additional servos, or restructuring your RC car's electronics layout for better weight distribution or cable management.
• What does the connector clip actually do? — The included clip secures your male and female connectors together, preventing accidental disconnection during aggressive RC driving, jumps, impacts and vibration — a common problem that can cause your RC car to lose control unexpectedly during a race or bashing session.
• Will this extension lead work with servos from brands other than Futaba? — Yes, this extension lead is compatible with any servo or receiver that uses standard Futaba-style connectors, which includes many third-party and aftermarket RC servo options available for RC enthusiasts.
• Is this suitable for beginners in RC hobbies? — Absolutely. Extension leads are fundamental RC accessories that beginners will eventually need when they want to upgrade or customise their RC vehicle's electronics. The straightforward male-to-female design requires no technical knowledge to install, and the included clip actually makes the connection more secure for inexperienced users.
• What is the wire gauge and what does 22AWG mean? — 22AWG refers to the American Wire Gauge specification, which defines the thickness of the copper wire inside the extension lead. 22AWG is the standard specification for servo and receiver extension leads, providing the optimal balance between signal integrity, power delivery and flexibility for RC applications.
• Can I use this extension lead for multiple servos? — This is a single extension lead with one male and one female connector, so it extends one servo or receiver connection. However, you can use multiple extension leads if you need to extend several different servo or receiver connections in your RC setup.
