Overview
The Futaba Servo Grommet Ferrule Large (20pcs) is an essential spare part pack for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK who relies on quality servo hardware. Whether you're operating an RC car, RC helicopter, or any other radio-controlled model that uses servo grommets, these ferrules are crucial components that ensure your servos remain securely mounted and functioning reliably. Futaba has been leading the way in radio control since 1962, and their genuine replacement parts reflect the same quality and precision engineering you'd expect from this legendary brand.
Servo grommets and their ferrules are subject to considerable wear and tear during regular RC operation. Every time your servo moves, every vibration from the motor, and every impact from crashes or rough terrain gradually degrades the rubber grommet material and the metal ferrule that holds it in place. When these components become worn, you'll notice reduced servo responsiveness, increased play in the mounting, and potentially compromised control of your RC model. That's where this convenient 20-piece replacement pack becomes invaluable. Rather than replacing the entire servo when the grommet ferrule wears out, you can simply swap in a fresh ferrule and restore your servo mounting to like-new condition.
These ferrules are designated FUTEBS3264 and represent the kind of routine maintenance that separates casual RC hobbyists from those who take their models seriously. If you're a regular user of RC cars UK-wide, whether you're bashing at the weekend, competing in races, or simply enjoying your hobby, maintaining your servo hardware is essential for optimal performance and safety. Futaba's genuine parts ensure compatibility and reliability across their servo range, making this a smart investment for your RC spares box.
Key Features
- Pack of 20 Ferrules — Each pack contains 20 individual ferrules, providing excellent value and ensuring you have plenty of spares on hand for routine maintenance across multiple servos or for future use, so you're never caught without replacements when you need them.
- Steel Construction — Manufactured from durable steel material, these ferrules are engineered to withstand the rigours of RC operation, providing reliable support for your servo grommets through countless operating cycles without deformation or failure.
- Silver Finish — The attractive silver finish not only looks professional but also provides corrosion resistance, helping the ferrules maintain their integrity even when exposed to the elements during outdoor RC sessions.
- Genuine Futaba Part — As an official Futaba component, these ferrules are precision-manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with Futaba servo grommets and guaranteed quality that you can rely on for mission-critical servo mounting.
- Like-for-Like Replacement — Designed as direct replacements for worn mounting ferrules, these parts require no modification or adaptation, making installation straightforward and allowing you to quickly restore your servo mounting hardware to full working order.
- Convenient Spare Pack — Having a stock of replacement ferrules means you can perform preventative maintenance without waiting for next-day delivery, keeping your RC models in action and minimising downtime during the RC season.
Technical Performance
The Futaba Servo Grommet Ferrule Large represents precision engineering in miniature form. Constructed from hardened steel with a protective silver finish, these ferrules are designed to provide unwavering support for rubber servo grommets under demanding conditions. The large size specification makes these ferrules suitable for larger servo applications where standard ferrules would be undersized. Steel was chosen as the material because of its superior strength-to-weight ratio and its ability to resist deformation under continuous vibration and cyclic loading. The silver finish provides a natural oxide barrier that helps resist corrosion, which is particularly important given that RC models are often used in outdoor environments where exposure to moisture and salt air can degrade lesser-quality components. Each ferrule in the 20-piece pack is manufactured to identical specifications, ensuring consistent performance across all units. The engineering focus on this small but critical component reflects Futaba's philosophy that every part, no matter how seemingly minor, contributes to overall system reliability and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are servo grommet ferrules and why do I need them? — Servo grommet ferrules are metal rings that work in conjunction with rubber grommets to hold your servo securely in its mounting bracket. The rubber grommet absorbs vibration and reduces noise, whilst the ferrule prevents the rubber from being compressed beyond its limit or damaged by the mounting bracket. Over time, these ferrules can become worn, bent, or damaged, compromising the stability of your servo mounting. Replacement ferrules restore the effectiveness of your grommet mounting system and ensure your servo remains precisely positioned, which is essential for accurate control of your RC model.
- Are these ferrules compatible with all Futaba servos? — These are designated as Large ferrules, making them suitable for larger Futaba servo models. If you're unsure whether these are the correct size for your specific servo, we recommend checking your servo's documentation or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop, where our experienced RC enthusiasts can help you identify the correct ferrule size for your particular servo model.
- How often should I replace my servo grommet ferrules? — The frequency of replacement depends on how intensively you use your RC models. If you're a regular weekend basher or racer, we'd recommend inspecting your servo grommets monthly and replacing the ferrules when you notice the rubber becoming compressed, the ferrule becoming bent, or any noticeable play in the servo mounting. Preventative maintenance is far more cost-effective than dealing with servo failures caused by inadequate mounting.
- What size are these ferrules, and how do I know if I need the Large version? — The Large designation indicates these ferrules are designed for larger servo applications. Futaba produces ferrules in different sizes to match their various servo ranges. If you're uncertain whether the Large size is correct for your servo, you can measure the existing ferrule on your servo or consult the servo's product documentation. Alternatively, our team at RC Model Shop is happy to help identify the correct part for your specific servo model.
- Can these ferrules be used as replacements for damaged ferrules on non-Futaba servos? — Whilst these are Futaba-manufactured components, they may be compatible with other servo brands that use standard ferrule sizes. However, for guaranteed compatibility and optimal performance, we recommend using manufacturer-specific ferrules. If you're looking for ferrules for non-Futaba servos, we'd be happy to help source the appropriate parts through RC Model Shop.
- Are these ferrules difficult to install? — Replacing servo grommet ferrules is a straightforward task that doesn't require special tools or expertise. You'll typically need to remove the servo from its mounting bracket, carefully remove the worn ferrule (sometimes by gentle prying or tapping), and slide the new ferrule onto the rubber grommet. If you've never done this before and feel uncertain, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance to ensure you complete the task correctly.
