Key Features
- Premium Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, this servo arm delivers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that is crucial in RC applications where every gram matters and durability is non-negotiable. Aluminium resists corrosion and maintains its structural integrity through countless servo cycles, making it an investment that will serve your RC models for years to come.
- Compact 38.1mm Length — The 1.5-inch (38.1mm) arm length provides a concise option where a short, straightforward servo arm layout is required, making it ideal for tight spaces within your RC model's chassis or body. This compact size is particularly valuable in competition RC cars and buggies where packaging efficiency directly impacts handling and weight distribution.
- Single-Arm Design — The single-arm configuration offers a clean, minimalist approach to servo mounting that reduces unnecessary mass whilst maintaining the mechanical advantage needed for reliable control inputs. This design is versatile enough to work with numerous servo types and RC vehicle setups.
- Eye-Catching Red Finish — Beyond aesthetics, the red colour-coding helps you quickly identify this servo arm component in your spares collection. The robust finish is designed to withstand the rigours of regular RC use without fading or chipping.
- Genuine Futaba Quality — As an official Futaba product, this servo arm carries the reputation of a manufacturer that has been trusted by RC professionals and enthusiasts worldwide since 1962. You're buying a component engineered to work seamlessly with Futaba servo systems and compatible with most modern RC transmitter and receiver combinations.
- Lightweight at 0.01kg — Weighing just 10 grams, this servo arm contributes minimal weight to your RC model whilst providing maximum durability, helping you maintain optimal performance and battery runtime on your RC car, buggy or crawler.
Technical Performance
The Futaba Alloy Single Servo Arm is engineered with the precision and attention to detail that Futaba is renowned for across the entire RC industry. Constructed entirely from aluminium, this servo arm combines lightweight characteristics with substantial strength, ensuring it can handle the demands of frequent servo actuation without bending, warping or failing. The 38.1mm length has been carefully calculated to provide optimal mechanical advantage whilst remaining compact enough for integration into space-constrained RC models. Whether you're running a high-performance brushless RC buggy that demands rapid steering inputs, a precise RC crawler that requires fine directional control, or any RC vehicle in between, this servo arm will reliably translate your transmitter commands into accurate model movement. The single-arm design minimises rotational inertia, allowing your servo to respond more quickly and precisely to control inputs. The red anodised finish not only protects the aluminium from oxidation and corrosion but also makes the component easy to spot during assembly and maintenance. At just 0.01kg, the servo arm's negligible weight means it won't negatively impact your RC model's handling characteristics or battery runtime. This is a no-compromise component from a manufacturer that understands the exacting requirements of RC hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is this servo arm compatible with? — The Futaba Alloy Single Servo Arm is designed to work with Futaba servo systems and is compatible with most modern RC vehicles including RC cars, buggies, crawlers, truggies and more. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific servo, our team at RC Model Shop are happy to help — simply contact us with your servo model number and we can confirm compatibility.
- Why would I need a 38.1mm servo arm? — The 38.1mm length is ideal when you need a compact servo arm that fits into tight spaces within your RC model's chassis or body. Shorter arms are particularly popular in competition-grade RC cars and buggies where packaging efficiency is critical, and in any application where minimising servo extension is desirable for aerodynamics or protection.
- Is aluminium strong enough for RC servo arms? — Absolutely. Aluminium is the industry standard for servo arms across professional and amateur RC racing because it offers the perfect balance of strength, weight and durability. The aluminium used in Futaba components is high-quality and specifically chosen to withstand the repetitive stress of servo actuation without fatigue or failure.
- Can I use this servo arm as a replacement? — Yes, if your existing servo arm has become damaged, bent or worn out, this Futaba component serves as an excellent replacement that will restore your servo to full performance. Simply remove the damaged arm and install this new one following your servo's instruction manual.
- What does the red colour mean? — The red finish is primarily aesthetic and helps with quick identification in your spares collection, but it also indicates this is a genuine Futaba product. The colour-coding can be useful when you have multiple servo arms in different sizes, as the red finish helps you grab the correct one without confusion.
- How much does this servo arm weigh? — This component weighs just 0.01kg (0.02lbs), making it incredibly lightweight. This minimal weight contribution is one of the key advantages of choosing quality aluminium components — they keep your RC model's total weight down, which directly improves performance, handling and battery runtime.
