Default wire type and size?

just after some advise on wire size and type
i race 540 and am having trouble with the wire im using that goes from the motor to a deans plug then to the esc
at the moment im using low tension cable 20amp (3mm)
it is not very good at flexing continually (it snaps the wires)
and over time i can see it snapping on me on race day
thanks for you help
cheers

ok.. almost all racers in the world use sylicone wire,, super plyable,

for 540 racing i used to use 14 gauge wire.

and for mod or stock i use 12 gauge.

thats the wire size, so any good sylicone wire will be fine.

deans wet noodle is verry good.

but i like the trinity wire.. as it has silver wire nstead of copper.

make sence?? most of my posts dont.

I grabbed some 12 gauge wire for my speedie the other day and seems flexible enough and does the job.
