High precision flight response with Futaba BLS253

The Futaba BLS253 is a brushless servo aimed at pilots who fly 3D helicopters and want dependable control. It combines a low-friction drivetrain with a compact, strong chassis for steady performance.

Engineered for intense 3D flying

Designed in a standard-size footprint, the servo uses metal gears and dual ball bearings to minimise play and wear during aggressive manoeuvres. Users can expect a response time about 30% faster than many traditional digital servos, while keeping power draw in line with equivalent brushed options.

Accessories included for quick fit

The package supplies assorted horns and mounting bits to suit common helicopter configurations. Included items are a universal connector, several sizes of round horns, a multi-point horn plus screws, eyelets and grommets for secure mounting.

Specifications

  • Torque: 117 oz-in (8.4 kg/cm) @ 4.8V; 147 oz-in (10.6 kg/cm) @ 6.0V
  • Speed: 0.13 sec/60 deg @ 4.8V; 0.10 sec/60 deg @ 6.0V
  • Size: 1.6 x 0.8 x 1.5 inches (40 x 20 x 37 mm)
  • Weight: 2.0 oz (58 g)

If you are upgrading servos on a 3D helicopter, the Futaba BLS253 delivers tighter response and a rugged geartrain for extended use.

No special receiver mode is required. Use standard PWM or compatible digital outputs and ensure endpoints and subtrim are configured for clean movement.
Yes, many hobby shops stock replacement horns that match standard spline patterns. Keep a spare set if you fly aggressively.
Pilots often pair this servo with a higher-voltage BEC or redundant power supply for consistent performance, or fit steel servo horns for added strength.
