Technical Performance
The Futaba Alloy Twin Arm 40mm (1.6") Red is engineered with precision manufacturing standards that Futaba has perfected over decades of leading radio control innovation. The aluminium material selection ensures a perfect balance between weight and strength — critical for RC applications where every gramme counts and durability is non-negotiable. The 40mm length is precisely dimensioned to work with standard Futaba servo spline patterns, making it compatible with a wide range of Futaba servo motors used across RC cars, RC buggies, RC trucks and other radio control models. The twin arm configuration provides excellent leverage for control inputs whilst maintaining predictable response characteristics that experienced RC drivers depend on. The compact form factor means this servo horn can be installed in confined spaces without requiring extensive chassis modification, making it ideal for upgrade projects on existing RC vehicles. The red anodised finish not only looks professional and distinctive but also provides a protective layer that resists oxidation and general wear from exposure to dirt, moisture and UV light — important considerations for UK RC enthusiasts who might be operating their models in varied weather conditions. This is a precision component designed for builders and modellers who refuse to compromise on quality, and it delivers the performance reliability that Futaba is renowned for throughout the global RC community.
