Designed with RC modellers in mind, this twisted servo extension lead uses genuine Futaba-style terminations, making it compatible with a wide range of Futaba receivers and servos. The twisted construction of the conductors is engineered to minimise electromagnetic interference over longer wire runs, ensuring clean signal transmission and reliable performance across all RC vehicle types. For anyone serious about their RC hobby in the UK, having quality extension leads like this in your spares box is essential for building versatile, well-organised models.
At just £3.05, the Etronix 90cm extension wire represents excellent value for money and is an affordable way to improve the layout and performance of your RC setup. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or new to the world of RC cars, boats, and aircraft, this simple but crucial component will help you achieve the professional wiring standards that serious hobbyists demand.
Key Features
- 90cm (900mm) Length — The generous 900mm length provides substantial reach between components, allowing you to keep wiring tidy and well-organised even in larger RC models where servos and receivers may be mounted at opposite ends of the chassis or fuselage.
- 22AWG Wire Gauge — The 22AWG gauge delivers a robust balance between durability and current capacity, providing sufficient power delivery for typical radio control applications whilst maintaining flexibility for routing through tight spaces in your model.
- Twisted Wire Construction — The twisted conductors in this extension lead actively help minimise electromagnetic interference (EMI) over longer runs, reducing signal noise and ensuring clean, dependable communication between your receiver and servos for more precise control.
- Futaba-Style Terminations — Pre-fitted with Futaba-style connectors, this lead offers suggested compatibility with matching Futaba receivers and servos, eliminating the need for soldering and making installation quick and straightforward for modellers of all skill levels.
- No Soldering Required — The pre-terminated connectors mean you can install this extension lead without any soldering experience, saving time and ensuring reliable connections every time you use it in your RC setup.
- Versatile Application — Designed to work across all RC vehicle types including RC cars, RC boats, RC aircraft, and RC helicopters, this extension lead is a genuinely universal accessory for your RC hobby collection.
Technical Performance
The Etronix 90cm 22AWG Futaba Twisted Extension Wire is engineered with precision and attention to detail that reflects Etronix's commitment to quality RC components. The 22AWG wire gauge represents a proven standard in RC servo extensions, providing the optimal combination of conductor thickness for reliable current delivery without excessive bulk or weight penalty. The twisted construction of the two conductors is specifically designed to reduce electromagnetic interference, which becomes increasingly important over longer wire runs where signal degradation can occur in standard parallel-wire designs. This twisted arrangement helps maintain signal integrity from your receiver to your servos, resulting in more responsive and accurate control inputs across your entire RC model. The 900mm total length is substantial enough to route around chassis components, battery packs, and motor assemblies whilst remaining manageable for neat cable routing. The Futaba-style connectors are industry-standard terminations that provide secure, reliable connections with minimal contact resistance. Whether you're building a precision RC car for competition, a high-performance RC boat for water sports, a scale RC aircraft for aerial photography, or any other RC application, this extension lead performs consistently and reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between twisted and standard parallel extension wires for RC models? — Twisted extension wires feature two conductors twisted together, which significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal noise compared to standard parallel wires. This twisted construction is particularly important for longer runs like this 90cm lead, as it helps maintain clean signal transmission from your receiver to servos, resulting in more responsive and accurate RC control.
- Is this extension wire compatible with my Futaba servo and receiver? — The Etronix 90cm extension lead is fitted with Futaba-style terminations, making it suggested for compatibility with Futaba receivers and servos. It's worth checking that your specific Futaba equipment uses the standard Futaba connector type to ensure perfect compatibility before purchase.
- Can I use this extension wire with other RC brands besides Futaba? — Whilst this lead features Futaba-style terminations, the standard nature of these connectors means it may work with other brands that use compatible connector types. However, we recommend checking your specific equipment to ensure compatibility before use.
- What RC vehicle types can I use this extension wire with? — The Etronix 90cm 22AWG Futaba Twisted Extension Wire is designed for use across all RC applications including RC cars, RC boats, RC aircraft, and RC helicopters. The 22AWG gauge and length make it suitable for both small and large-scale models where component spacing requires extended servo connections.
- Do I need any tools to install this extension wire? — No, this extension lead comes pre-terminated with Futaba-style connectors, so no soldering or special tools are required for installation. Simply plug it in between your receiver and servo for immediate use in your RC model.
- Why is wire gauge important in RC extension leads? — Wire gauge affects both the current-carrying capacity and the flexibility of the lead. The 22AWG gauge used in this Etronix extension wire provides excellent performance for typical RC servo applications, delivering sufficient power whilst remaining flexible enough to route neatly through your model without bulk or weight penalties.
