58+ Years of Radio Control

ByEmerald Blythe

At Futaba USA we aim to help you enjoy your hobby to the fullest. Although our first Hobby Radio Control initiative began in 1961, our first Hobby Radio Control Distribution Center for the United States was formed in California in the late 70’s and we have strived to maintain one common goal- top quality.

 

Futaba has continued to be a leading innovator in the hobby radio control industry developing first-of-its-kind products for modelers world-wide. In addition to aiding a time-traveling DeLorean and a mouse winning an RC sailboat race, Futaba has been an integral brand used in countless world championship victories. We take great pride seeing what modelers can do with our products but our biggest accomplishment is the immeasurable family-bonding experiences that have occurred with Futaba products all over the globe.

 

Futaba continues to strive to implement modern technology, develop innovative products, and set trends for the hobby industry.

  • The History of Futaba

    ByEmerald Blythe

    Futaba Corporation was founded in 1948 in Japan as a manufacturer and seller of receiver vacuum tubes. Utilizing vacuum tube technology, Futaba began manufacturing vacuum fluorescent displays. In 1962, Futaba began producing radio control equipment as well as press die set components, establishing what still remains as two of the company’s primary divisions. This was followed by the development of mold base components and the more recent addition of VFD modules to complete the lineup of Futaba’s major products.
