Reliable rudder performance from the Futaba BLS257 brushless servo

The Futaba BLS257 Brushless Heli Rudder Mini Servo is a compact, high-response option for 3D helicopters. It delivers roughly 30% faster response than standard digital servos while using about the same power as brushed digital units, and the brushless motor gives an estimated fivefold increase in service life.

BLS257 benefits at a glance

  • Brushless Motor: Higher endurance and steady torque under load.
  • Fast Response: Around 30% quicker than comparable standard servos for sharper control.
  • Efficient Power Use: Similar consumption to brushed digital servos to keep power planning simple.

Included parts and horns

  • Universal connector for simple hookup
  • Round horn (0.83" diameter)
  • 6-point horn (1.2" diameter)
  • 4-point horn (1.5" diameter)
  • Mounting screws, eyelets, and grommets

Specifications

  • Torque: 36 oz-in (2.6 kg-cm) @ 4.8V
  • Speed: 0.07 sec/60°
  • Size: 1.4 x 0.6 x 1.1 inches (35.5 x 15 x 28.6 mm)
  • Weight: 0.92 oz (26g)

For pilots after a compact servo with quick response and proven longevity, the Futaba BLS257 fits into tail setups that demand consistent rudder control.

The unit ships with a universal connector that fits most receivers; adaptors may be needed for non-standard plugs or older systems.
Limit endpoints and use subtrim to achieve the desired throw while keeping control smooth; small steps work best to avoid overdriving the linkage.
Yes, the brushless design is intended to withstand heavy use better than brushed servos, but always check for wear on horns and linkages after intense sessions.
