I would say order two of them to be safe. I know when I got my XR10 I wasn't sure how much to get so I ordered 2 packages and I'm glad I did. I would say you need 6-8 inches for the battery wires and the same for the motors. Sent from My Touch 2 |

12 gauge is extreme overkill. Crawlers don't draw the amps that requires such large wire. 16 gauge is plenty big enough for the current draw, lighter, more flexible, and easier to solder. |

The battery leads on the CC BEC are 18ga I believe. My dual ESC MOA is all 16ga and 18ga. The batterys I use are 850mah with 18ga power wires. 12 ga is not only unnecessary but actually is a nuisance. |
