I have tried every kind of wire I could get my hands on for years and I now have what I feel is the best 16ga wire on the market. I've used every type of wire mentioned here and many more. OD Racing 16ga wire is the most flexible wire you can find and has the lowest voltage drop of all the wire we tested. It's smaller in diameter than any except Castle Creations 16ga. Depending on where you buy the Dean's wire (pretty good stuff) my wire is a little more expensive but I think it's lots better :cool:

It comes in Black, Red and (what else) Purple :D

Wire slut alert:lol::lol:

OD's wire is almost too flexible....have you tested 12g for voltage drop:D

Where's my chassis :)

12 ga would have less of a vlotage drop but it won't be as flexible as the 16ga wire.:nod:

you guys are off in left field anyway. the current draw of 4 cell has no noticable voltage loss between 12gage and 16gage anyway as most of the time the wire is only 4 or 5 inches long. how many zeros do you want to count out to.

Fifteen? Twenty? WE'RE 1/12th RACERS DAMMIT!! IF WE CAN'T GET ANAL-RETENTIVE REGARDING THE MINUTIAE OF OUR CRAFT WE DON'T GET OUT OF BED!! :rolleyes:

You're absolutely correct, the voltage drop is a non-issue. The spring-effect of too heavy wire IS an issue.

I wish I could find some purple tape that I like. If I ever do it will make my purple world complete, but for now I will have only black, blue and white :cry:

Oh Michael...

If you could come up with good purple tape I'D buy a T-bar car and learn to become a yoda jedi tape master!!

I use this stuff in a different color on my sedans... not sure where he gets it tho.
