help on extending the wiring

[rod-211]

I have a stock scx10 and I want to move the electronict around. Like the battery to the front and the little electronics box to the back but I'm not too good with electrical stuff.

The wire from the servo is not long enough to switch the box to the back of the truck and I was wondering if they make extensions for them?

Also some of the other wires are too short to make the changes I want so I was thinking of cutting them and soldering in a few inches of wire to make them longer. You guys think its a good idea? Bad idea?

Any tips would be very helpful.

And do I have to get the exact same wire or would another type of wire do the trick?

here's a link for servo extensions, i'm not sure what the gauge of the other wiring.

Cool thanks for the link I'm definately ordering the extensions.

So to extend the other wires as long as they are the same gauge?

yep you will be fine adding in a couple of inches. it is probably 13 or 14 gauge that is already on their.
