Title: Wire
Post by: justboatonic on April 27, 2008, 09:39:11 pm

Where can I get some good black and red wire suitable for electrics? Model shops appear to put an unreasonable mark up on 12" of the stuff.

Looking for wire suitable ESC's to motors and battery (SLA or NiMh).

Ta.

Cheers Dicky!

Do I take it the higher the AWG, the thinner the diameter of the cable? What would be best for motors & ESC's? Im not running heavy current.

16 (or even 18 will do at a pinch).
