Slot car lead wire is 18 guage. It'll probably work but I don't know of anybody using it; it's definately not for modified. I use it (18ga) for wiring caps and schottky boards. You can buy 18 guage wire from cheapbatterypacks.com much cheaper than slot car lead wire.
You can get pretty good 16ga wire at cheapbatterypacks.com also. The 16ga with the thinnest jacket is from Castle Creations. It's a little stiffer than some but works well.
16ga handles mod motors just fine, no difference in punch or anything else (for 1/12th)
