|  Great deal on wire!!
I was looking for some flexable 10 ga. wire to wire up my underknuckle batteries so I went to radio shack just to look and I stumbled on a great deal on some very flexable (more so than the novak wire) 10 gauge fine strand copper wire. I got 20 ft. (40 ft. of single wire) on clearance for $9.99!! Just though I would share.

Looks like speaker wire? Be careful, as a lot of the coatings they use on speaker wire is not heat tolerant at all! Really loses it's flexibility when cold too. |

yeah, as soon as the wire is heated for soldering it loses its give and becomes brittle. That is why most RC wire is silicon coated. damn good find though. I have quite a stash of speaker wire around. |

I soldered on an old cell and swung it around my head really fast by the wire, it held up good, I'll let yall know how good it holds up.
