Technical Performance
The Futaba Alloy Single Servo Arm represents precision engineering in its simplest form. Constructed from quality aluminium, this servo horn delivers the kind of durability and reliability you'd expect from a component bearing the Futaba name – a manufacturer that has been setting standards in RC radio control since 1962. The 25.4mm length (exactly 1 inch) is a classic servo arm dimension that works across countless RC applications, from car linkages to aircraft control surfaces. The aluminium material has been carefully selected to provide the optimal combination of weight savings and strength; it's rigid enough to transmit your servo control inputs without flex or slop, yet light enough that it doesn't add unnecessary mass to your RC vehicle. The bright red anodised finish provides both aesthetic appeal and practical visibility, allowing you to quickly identify and locate this component during assembly, tuning and maintenance. The single-arm configuration means this is a straightforward, no-nonsense servo horn for direct control linkage applications. Futaba's reputation for quality manufacturing means you can rely on consistent tolerances and reliable performance every time you use it. This is the kind of component that belongs in every serious RC enthusiast's spares box, particularly if you're running Futaba servos or building custom RC setups that demand precision control geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size servo does this arm fit? — This is a universal servo horn that works with Futaba servos and many aftermarket servos featuring standard spline patterns. The 25.4mm length makes it suitable for a wide variety of servo models, though you should verify compatibility with your specific servo before purchase.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Servo arms are straightforward components that beginners use when building custom linkages. If you're new to RC and learning about servo control systems, this is an ideal component to work with – it's simple, reliable and forgiving.
- Why is the colour bright red? — The bright red anodised finish serves dual purposes: it looks great on your RC setup, and more importantly, it makes the servo arm highly visible when you're working on your chassis or airframe, helping you spot it quickly during assembly and maintenance.
- Can I use this on my RC car, plane or boat? — Yes. This servo arm can be used on any RC application where you need a servo horn for control linkages, whether that's steering linkages on an RC car, control surface linkages on an RC aeroplane, or throttle/rudder linkages on an RC boat.
- What's the difference between a 1-inch and longer servo arms? — The length of your servo arm affects the mechanical leverage and geometry of your linkage. The 25.4mm (1-inch) length is a compact option ideal for tight spaces or where you want quicker control response; longer arms provide greater mechanical advantage but take up more space.
- Is this a genuine Futaba product? — Yes, this is an official Futaba component manufactured to Futaba's quality standards. When you buy from RC Model Shop, you're receiving genuine Futaba spares backed by the company's reputation for excellence in RC radio control.
