Overview
The eTronix ET0733 Futaba Twisted Servo Extension Lead is a precision-engineered 15cm extension wire designed for RC hobbyists who need reliable servo connections in tight spaces. Whether you're building a custom RC car in the UK, setting up an RC truck, or fine-tuning your RC aircraft control systems, this compact extension lead offers the perfect solution for situations where standard servo leads are too long. The twisted cable design reduces electromagnetic interference and provides a clean, professional appearance to your RC model's internal wiring.
This extension lead is specifically engineered for Futaba-style connectors, making it compatible with a vast range of RC servos and receivers used across the UK RC community. Whether you're working on a competition-grade setup or a casual weekend basher, having quality servo extension leads in multiple lengths is essential for achieving optimal performance. The 22AWG wire gauge provides an excellent balance between flexibility and current-carrying capacity, ensuring reliable signal transmission without voltage drop or servo lag.
Compact yet functional, the eTronix ET0733 is a must-have accessory in any serious RC enthusiast's workshop. It's ideal for crowded servo bays, custom installations, or simply tidying up your RC model's internal layout. Available from RC Model Shop with same-day shipping on most orders, this extension lead represents outstanding value for money and reliability from a trusted brand in the hobby.
Key Features
- 15cm Length (150mm) — At just 15 centimetres, this extension lead is ideal for applications where space is at a premium, such as tight servo bays in RC cars or compact receiver installations where longer leads would cause unnecessary clutter and potential snagging.
- 22AWG Wire Gauge — The 22AWG specification provides the optimal balance between flexibility for routing through tight spaces and sufficient conductor cross-section to carry servo currents without voltage drop, ensuring your servo receives clean, stable power and signal.
- Twisted Cable Construction — The twisted design of the power and signal wires significantly reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, which is particularly important in RC models where radio reception quality directly affects control precision and responsiveness.
- Futaba-style Connectors — These connectors are the industry standard for RC servos and receivers, ensuring universal compatibility with the vast majority of RC equipment available to hobbyists in the UK and worldwide, giving you maximum flexibility in your builds.
- Premium Build Quality — eTronix is a recognised manufacturer of quality RC accessories, and this extension lead reflects their commitment to reliability, with properly crimped connectors and durable insulation that will withstand the demands of regular RC use.
Technical Performance
The eTronix ET0733 servo extension lead is engineered with precision manufacturing standards to ensure reliable performance in demanding RC applications. The 22AWG wire specification is carefully selected to provide adequate current capacity for standard RC servos whilst maintaining the flexibility needed for routing through crowded servo bays and receiver compartments. The twisted construction of the internal wires actively reduces electromagnetic interference, which is critical in RC models where radio signals must remain clean and uncorrupted to ensure precise control inputs. The Futaba-style connectors are industry-standard connectors found on the vast majority of RC servos, digital servos, and receiver modules, making this extension lead universally compatible across different manufacturers and chassis designs. The 150mm length makes this an ideal choice for intermediate-distance servo connections where you need some extension capability without excessive cable length. Build quality throughout reflects eTronix's reputation for reliability, with properly secured crimped connections that won't work loose during the vibrations and impacts typical of RC use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What length servo extension lead do I need for my RC model? — The choice of extension lead length depends on your servo placement and receiver location. The 15cm length of the ET0733 is ideal for moderate extensions where you need some cable length without excess. If you need multiple extension options, many RC enthusiasts keep several different lengths in their workshop—6cm leads for tight spaces, 15cm for medium distance, and 30cm or longer for distant servo placements. The eTronix ET0733 represents the sweet spot for most general RC applications.
- Are Futaba-style connectors compatible with my servo? — Futaba-style connectors are the industry standard for RC servos and are used by the vast majority of servo manufacturers including Futaba, Sanwa, Spektrum, Hobbywing, and many others. When shopping for RC servos in the UK, almost all standard servos will feature Futaba connectors, making the ET0733 universally compatible with your existing equipment.
- Why do I need a twisted servo extension lead instead of a straight one? — The twisted cable design in the ET0733 reduces electromagnetic interference by physically separating the power and signal conductors in a twisted pattern, which cancels out induced noise. This is particularly important in RC models where radio control signals must remain clean and uncorrupted. In crowded RC cars with multiple servos, speed controllers, and receivers all operating in close proximity, twisted extension leads help maintain signal integrity and prevent servo chatter or control lag.
- Will this extension lead cause voltage drop to my servo? — The 22AWG wire gauge used in the ET0733 is specifically selected to provide excellent conductivity whilst maintaining flexibility. At 15cm length with 22AWG wire, voltage drop is negligible for standard RC servos drawing typical currents. This means your servo will receive stable voltage and perform optimally without any issues related to undersized wiring.
- Can I use multiple extension leads in series? — Yes, you can connect multiple extension leads together if needed, though this increases total cable length and can introduce slight additional voltage drop. For most RC applications, using a single extension lead of appropriate length is preferable, but the eTronix ET0733 is robust enough to be daisy-chained with other compatible leads if your installation requires it.
- Is this suitable for digital servos? — Yes, the ET0733 is fully compatible with both analogue and digital RC servos. The twisted construction and 22AWG wire gauge are perfectly suitable for the higher control frequencies used by digital servos, and the Futaba connector is standard across both servo types.
