Overview
The Radient JR HD Y Twisted Lead with Clip 300mm (RDNAC010247) is an essential connector harness for RC enthusiasts who need to branch a single JR connection into two separate connections. Whether you're building a custom RC car setup in the UK or expanding your existing RC model's functionality, this heavy-duty Y lead provides a reliable and professional solution for managing multiple servo connections from a single receiver output. The twisted cable design and included connector clip ensure neat, tidy cable routing throughout your RC car UK setup, keeping your model looking clean and professional whilst maintaining secure electrical connections.
This JR Y harness is particularly valuable for RC hobbyists who require dual servo control from a single receiver channel—a common requirement in advanced RC car configurations, RC truck builds, and competition-grade RC vehicles. The heavy-duty construction and quality materials used in this lead guarantee longevity and reliability, even under the demanding conditions of regular RC bashing or racing. As part of the Radient spares and upgrades range, this connector lead is manufactured to the same high standards you'd expect from a professional RC brand, making it suitable for both beginner RC enthusiasts and seasoned competitors alike.
RC Model Shop stocks the Radient JR HD Y Twisted Lead with Clip as part of our comprehensive range of RC spares, upgrades and connector solutions. Available for next-day UK delivery and competitively priced at just £2.09, this is an affordable essential component for any RC modeller's spare parts collection. The compact 300mm length makes it ideal for installation in tight spaces within RC model chassis, whilst the integrated connector clip prevents the lead from becoming loose or damaged during operation.
Key Features
- Male to 2x Female JR Configuration — This lead features a single male JR connector that branches into two female JR connectors, allowing you to split one receiver channel into dual servo control, which is essential for advanced RC car setups and custom configurations where you need synchronized servo operation.
- Heavy-Duty Construction — The JR HD designation indicates this is a reinforced, heavy-duty version of the standard JR lead, meaning it can handle higher current loads and more frequent connection/disconnection cycles without degradation, making it ideal for serious RC enthusiasts and competition use.
- Twisted 60-Strand 22AWG Wire — The twisted configuration of the 60-strand copper cable promotes superior cable management and tidy routing through your RC model, whilst the 22AWG gauge provides excellent conductivity and durability for reliable servo signal transmission across all your RC car UK builds.
- Integrated Connector Clip — The included connector clip securely holds the lead in place during operation, preventing the connector from becoming dislodged due to vibration, impact or movement—a crucial feature for maintaining consistent servo control in active RC bashing or racing scenarios.
- Compact 300mm Length — At 300mm including connectors, this lead is designed to fit efficiently within most RC model chassis layouts, providing adequate length for routing whilst remaining compact enough for tight installation spaces in modern RC car designs.
- Premium Colour-Coded Connectors — The brown, red and orange connector colouring follows standard RC wiring conventions, making it easy to identify and manage multiple connections in complex RC setups, reducing the risk of incorrect connections.
- 1.5mm Outer Diameter — The compact cable diameter minimises weight and bulk whilst maintaining structural integrity, allowing for clean cable management without excessive tension or stress on connector pins.
Technical Performance
The Radient JR HD Y Twisted Lead is engineered with precision-grade materials and construction techniques that ensure reliable performance in demanding RC applications. The 60-strand copper conductors provide exceptional signal integrity for servo control, whilst the twisted configuration actively reduces electromagnetic interference—a critical consideration in high-performance RC car UK setups where multiple servos and receivers operate in close proximity. The 22AWG wire gauge offers an optimal balance between conductivity, flexibility and durability, ensuring the lead can handle the demands of regular use without experiencing signal degradation or intermittent connection issues. The heavy-duty JR connectors are manufactured to exacting standards with gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and ensure consistent electrical connection even after repeated connection cycles. The 1.5mm outer diameter cable is flexible enough for easy routing through tight spaces whilst remaining robust enough to withstand the vibrations and impacts associated with active RC bashing and racing. The integrated connector clip is a thoughtful engineering addition that prevents accidental disconnection and keeps the lead securely positioned, which is particularly valuable during high-speed runs or rough terrain driving. Total product length of 300mm including connectors makes this harness suitable for both compact micro RC cars and full-size 1/10 scale RC vehicles, providing versatility across different RC model types and sizes commonly used in the UK RC hobby market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Y lead and why would I need one for my RC car? — A Y lead allows you to split one receiver channel output into two separate servo connections, enabling dual servo control from a single channel. This is commonly used in RC cars for split throttle control, dual steering servos, or synchronised mechanical functions. If you're building a custom RC car setup in the UK or upgrading an existing model, a Y lead provides the flexibility needed for advanced configurations.
- Is this JR Y lead compatible with my RC receiver? — Yes, this lead features standard JR connectors which are compatible with any RC receiver that has JR connector outputs. JR is one of the two most common servo connector standards in the RC hobby (along with Futaba), and this lead will work with any equipment using JR connectors, including most mid-range and entry-level RC receivers used in the UK RC market.
- Will this lead work with both brushless and brushed RC cars? — Absolutely. This is a servo connector lead, not a power lead, so it carries only the control signal between your receiver and servos. It works identically with brushless and brushed RC cars, as well as any other RC vehicle type that uses servo-controlled functions.
- How does the included connector clip improve reliability? — The connector clip prevents accidental disconnection caused by vibration, impact or movement during operation. This is particularly important during high-speed runs or rough terrain driving where repeated impacts could otherwise work a loose connector free, potentially causing loss of servo control. The clip ensures your connection remains secure throughout your RC bashing or racing session.
- What makes the JR HD version different from a standard JR lead? — The HD designation stands for Heavy-Duty, indicating this version features reinforced connectors and higher-quality materials capable of handling more frequent connection cycles and higher current loads. If you're a regular RC enthusiast who frequently swaps servos or connectors, or if you're running high-torque servos that demand more current, the heavy-duty version provides superior durability and reliability compared to standard JR leads.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this lead is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. Beginners may not need a Y lead immediately, but as you expand your RC models and experiment with custom servo configurations, you'll find Y leads invaluable for unlocking advanced functionality. The age recommendation of 14+ reflects the need for basic electronic handling knowledge, though adult supervision is always recommended for younger enthusiasts.
- What is the difference between JR and Futaba connectors? — JR and Futaba are the two industry-standard servo connector types in RC hobbies. They are physically different and not compatible with each other. Before purchasing, verify your receiver uses JR connectors; if it uses Futaba connectors instead, you'll need a different lead. Most modern mid-range RC receivers offer either JR or Futaba connectors, so check your receiver's documentation.
- Can I use this lead with multiple types of RC models? — Yes, this is a universal servo connector lead that works with any RC vehicle type—cars, trucks, boats, aircraft—that uses JR connectors and servo-controlled functions. Whether you're building RC cars UK, RC drones, RC boats or other servo-driven RC models, this Y lead provides the connection flexibility you need.
