What type of wire?
 
What type of wire do you guys use? What gauge do you use? Is there a specific wire to use with lower or higher cell batteries? Any type of wire wrap you use?
Just trying to get a feel for what most use.
Thanks guys!

Either 12awg or 14awg wire works just fine for 1/10 through 1/8. I doesn't really have a brand preference. But most like deans wet noodle. Novak and Tekin have good wire as well.

I use 12awg on everything 1/10 and 1/8. I will use wet noodle for the battery post on my esc's and tekin wire for motor connections. I think the tekin wire solders easier than the copper deans wire.

12G is fine for everthing. Good wire is Deans Wet Noodle, TQ, and Tekin. Look for silicone insulation, and a high strand count.

Thanks guys, looks like wet noodle it is

12ga is the standard, I use Wet Noodle as well. If you are running a pan car though you will want to use 16ga to the motor (so the pod rotates freely).
