That's the brand my lhs carries and they're very good. How long is going to depend on where your motor is in relation to the esc. 200 mm is pretty long though. On my bd7 I think I have an 80mm.

Actually, you will need probably around a 170mm or longer cable for that truck, again, depending on where your ESC is located and how you want to route the wire back to the motor. I personally prefer the TQ flatwire ones.

Just an FYI for you, ALL sensor wires will work. The connectors for motors and speedos are a standard part in the ROAR rules so any brand or type will work. All you need to do is figure out what length you need. If you don't have one around to compare to, just take a piece of string or wire and run through where you need to go, cut it or mark it to length, pull it out and measure it.

Or just get one you know is too long and bundle up the excess.

TQ are my favorites. LRPs are pretty good too. TQ and I suspect most others give the measurement from the inside of the connectors.

If I may add, be sure to leave a little slack in length, a little extra length, for chassis flex and ease of working on the car, etc.
