Overview
The Futaba 100mm Standard Extension Lead (model FUTEBB0076) is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts who need to extend servo or receiver wiring in tight spaces. Whether you're building a custom RC car, truck, buggy or crawler setup in the UK, this compact extension lead offers the perfect solution for cable management without adding unnecessary bulk to your installation. Futaba has been a trusted name in radio control since 1962, and this precision-engineered component reflects decades of expertise in RC technology and reliability.
This 100mm extension lead is specifically designed for situations where standard cable lengths fall short but full-length extensions would be excessive. It's particularly valuable in compact RC builds where space is at a premium, such as tight cockpit areas in scale crawlers, compact buggy frames, or densely packed transmitter setups. The black finish blends seamlessly with most RC installations, maintaining a clean and professional appearance whether you're a seasoned competitor, weekend basher, or newcomer to the RC hobby.
At just 0.01kg, this lead adds virtually no weight to your RC model, making it ideal for weight-conscious builds where every gram counts. The standard connector configuration ensures compatibility with Futaba radio control systems and most industry-standard receiver setups. RC enthusiasts across the UK rely on Futaba extension leads for their durability, precision engineering and the consistent performance that comes from over 50 years of specialisation in radio control technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a servo extension lead and why would I need one for my RC car or truck? — A servo extension lead allows you to position your receiver, servo or radio controller components further from their default locations in your RC model. This is essential for space-constrained builds, custom installations, and situations where standard cable lengths won't reach. The 100mm length is particularly useful for fine-tuning cable routing in compact RC buggies, crawlers and competition vehicles.
- Is the Futaba 100mm extension lead compatible with my radio control setup? — This extension lead features standard connectors and is designed to work with Futaba radio systems and most industry-standard RC receivers and servos. However, always verify connector compatibility with your specific receiver model before purchasing.
- What length should I choose for my RC build? — The 100mm standard extension lead is ideal when you need a short, tidy connection without adding significant cable length. If you require greater reach, you may need to consider longer extensions. This compact 100mm option is perfect for tight layouts where space is limited.
- Why is the weight specification important for extension leads? — At just 0.01kg, this lead adds virtually no weight to your RC model. For competitive racing and performance-focused builds, minimising component weight is crucial for maintaining optimal speed, acceleration and handling characteristics, particularly in lightweight platforms.
- Is this suitable for beginners in the RC hobby? — Yes, extension leads are useful components for any RC enthusiast. Beginners will find this particularly valuable when learning to customise their first RC car or truck, as it provides flexibility in component placement without requiring advanced technical knowledge.
- What colour is the extension lead and will it match my RC setup? — The lead features a professional black finish that complements most RC installations and standard black receiver wiring. This neutral colour ensures a clean, integrated appearance in your radio control system.
