Precision and muscle in a compact package

In RC racing, tight inputs and dependable hardware matter. The Futaba S-C401 Servo delivers the crisp control and rugged reliability that both weekend hobbyists and club racers expect. Its balance of speed and torque helps keep setups responsive without excess weight.

Rapid response and stout torque for accurate handling

The Futaba S-C401 achieves a swift 0.09 sec per 60 deg at 7.4 V, giving you near-instant steering corrections when the track gets tight. With 13.8 kgf-cm of torque at 7.4 V, it has the muscle to manage heavier linkages and loaded steering geometries while staying controllable.

What makes the S-C401 a solid upgrade

Its compact footprint of 40.0 x 20.0 x 36.6 mm and light 54 g weight make the servo straightforward to fit into many chassis layouts. Whether retrofitting an older kit or refining a race car, the S-C401 blends power and size without complicating your build.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 40.0 x 20.0 x 36.6 mm
  • Weight: 54 g
  • Speed: 0.09 sec / 60 deg (7.4 V), 0.11 sec / 60 deg (6.6 V)

For builders seeking a compact, quick, and powerful servo, the Futaba S-C401 provides a reliable balance of speed and torque suitable for a wide range of RC vehicles.

Yes. With 13.8 kgf-cm at 7.4 V the servo can handle heavier steering loads common on modified touring cars, though check horn and linkage angles to avoid binding.
The S-C401 performs at both 6.6 V and 7.4 V; you will see faster speed and higher torque at 7.4 V. Ensure your receiver and regulator specs match the higher voltage.
Very straightforward. Its 40 x 20 x 36.6 mm size fits most servo bays. Use the supplied mounting hardware and confirm horn alignment before final tightening.
Keep servo mounts tight, avoid exposure to water without protection, and inspect gears and linkages after heavy runs to maintain peak performance.
