The cable is shrouded in black Techflex - an expandable sheath which hides the blue enamel covering and makes it look pro. I just found a free sample around without the Techflex, and you can see how it's braided together: Six CAT-5 cables in three twisted pairs. The terminals are Gold plated WBT connectors.Attached FilesMean Machine Cat: 9XL, 4S2P, CC120, M545 (50mph) -- DF22 Hydro: 8L, 3S1P/4500, CC120, x637 (49mph) -- M-1 SuperCat: 1521/1Y, 6S2P, CC240, x447 (61mph) -- SV27 Mono: stock setup, 14-cell/4200, x642 (42mph) -- Micro Scat Cat: 28-3600, 3S1P/2100, Turnigy 60, x430 (41mph)

Said plainly, at least twiceOriginally posted by Ub Hauled View PostSo solid cables are not a solution, is that what you are trying to say?
If you don't need to ever bend them for anything, then solid is fine. I've never seen that sort of installation except in my house, though.

Well, it would need to be bent, but nothing that a pair of pliers cannot take care of...
thanks for all the input gents.:::::::::::::::. It's NEVER fast enough! .:::::::::::::::

Lets make this simple.
In every table you will notice that the overall diameter of like ga wire is bigger when you look at stranded vs solid. This isnt a mistake.42" Osprey, 32" Pursuit, 26" Bling Rocket (rescue), Blizzard Rigger, JAE 21FE rigger, Hobby King rigger (RIP)

Only a few hundred miles to get there, but closer than it used to be!Originally posted by Ub Hauled View PostIt must have been the MI accent you are picking up,
By bending, I meant repeated such as you do with ESCs, batteries, and motors.
Ever try bending solid 10AWG?

I see what you mean,
but if I decide to put such wires in the equation it'll be as an extension from the ESC to the batteries... not for the whole system. I'll be placing the ESC close to the motor thus leaving a big distance to the cells.:::::::::::::::. It's NEVER fast enough! .:::::::::::::::

I'm no expert, but aren't you creating an electromagnet? How much current are you running through this wire?Originally posted by 10gauge View PostThe cable is shrouded in black Techflex - an expandable sheath which hides the blue enamel covering and makes it look pro.

While we are talking wire, just go cheap. Go to Home Depot or Lowes, pickup some outdoor landscape lighting wire, cut to length, and have at it. LOL! J/KIMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"
