about to happen for the second time for me. I think I am going to try silicon 20 awg wire. I am a fairly light driver I would think.

I ran 2 pack thru mine before the motor wires broke and 3 more then the batt. came off the rec. Losi used the cheapest and crappiest wire available.. Silicone wire is the only way to go IMO

I agree that silicone is nicer but the stiffer wire does hold a coil better and i kinda dig that look. reminds me of an old phone cord lol

it does hold a coil well but it puts up a lot of resistance too ,I didnt realize just how much until I modded the servo case so the wires come out of the back instead of the side.....huge difference... then I swapped the lead out for a silicone one and whoa...another huge difference, it flexes soooo much better now, as soon as parts arrive all my micro's wires will be silky smooth silicone
