Default .023 flux core wire?

Does it exist? If so where are you getting it from? Local welding supply said they couldn't get it that small.

Thanks in advance.

Smallest I saw was .030" in flux core. Flux core sucks anyway. Your 100% better off using .023"-.025" solid wire and using the appropriate shielding gas. Weld quality and arc control is tons better.

Hopefully you didn't use .030 flux core, because it would then most definitely suck ;)

i didn't but even if i had, the truck takes a beating and still holds up, so what part of it sucks so bad? don't get me wrong, i can see the difference when welding with a 220 welder but the flux core still doable. i never welded any rc stuff so maybe rc stuff requires a better welder 185 or higher????
