Slot Car Corner SW-10300 SCC Silicone Motor Lead Wire Black & Yellow (10 Feet)

The 22 AWG wire is perfect for scratch builders or to replace the cheap, stiff wire which comes with many 1/32 RTR cars. Designed specifically for robotic applications where the wire is under constant flexing, this wire is ideal for 1/32 slot car motor lead wires which also undergo constant flexing due to guide movement. Unlike “hook-up” wire which generally has a low strand count (typically 7 – 19 strands) and thick PVC insulation, this wire has a very high strand count (168 individual tinned copper strands) and ultra-thin silicone insulation – both of these attributes contribute to its extraordinary flexibility and “limpness”. The silicone insulation also holds up much better to soldering (high heat) than PVC insulation.  Another important consideration is the outer diameter (o.d.) of the wire.  If the motor lead wire is too thick, it can cause interference/binding on some cars between the chassis and body near the guide flag.  SCC motor lead wire is manufactured with an ultra-thin, yet tough, silicone insulation – this keeps the wire o.d. to a minimum (1.25mm).  The smaller wire OD helps eliminate interference and binding around the guide.

Package includes 5 feet each of black and yellow/green wire.
