Wire size question
#1
Just ordered a new tekin rx8 and T8 2250 truggy motor for my ET48.3.
Going to run on 4s 6700 60c Batt. Has #10wire Deans plug ok?
Just wondering what size wire i should get for the motor wires?

12 gauge motor wire will be fine, you will just need to have a good solder joint because the RX8 posts can be a little funny.
A free bit of advice is to remember that in an RX8 the solder posts are part of the ESC cooling system and should not have a piece of shrink wrap or other insulator wrapped around them. People have smoked ESC's for smaller mistakes.

Thanks, Wasnt sure about the motor wires.
Already had to resolder rx8 on a used Trugg we got. The deans does fall out on hard slap landings of not strapped down. moved wiring already in that one to put wire under one of the battery straps. Seems ok now. Just want to make this truck is right the first time.
Thanks for the advice.
