Review on 🔌 Enhanced Flexibility Silicone Electrical Conductor: Parallel and Versatile by David Golden

This is an ideal ATV cable. it stays flexible as long as you don't run the solder under the insulation. It conducts current very well and doesn't get hot even when drawing 50 amps for each ESC current spike on high KV 5 and 6s builds. on 4s builds frankly 18awg is normal IMHO. On 5s and 6s from 1600-1800kV, builds of 18 will work (16 is better and won't clog your power system). at extreme draw current. On my 2600kv F40 Pro V2 (they work fine with 6s if you keep the prop weight and pitch in mind. Stick with a 4 or 4.3 pitch prop MAX for 6s. 5s are safe for 4.5- pitch propeller) 6s draw over 50 amps on 6s 95c 1550 R-lines, but the battery can only handle that for about a second, then it sags and as the socket discharges, the current starts to drop. It's not a race setting, it's a running speed setting and the propulsion system works really hard for quick bursts of power and only 2-3 quick starts on one charge, not to mention it's killing batteries like never before. I started switching to the 1800s to keep the batteries going for 20+ cycles before the IR rose rapidly and the pack ran out of power. The high performance C 1800s run in the 80 cycle range and maximum performance is not affected by the batteries. The ability to fight sag is way better than a 1300 or 1500. The bottom line of it all is that if you're running dumb high power systems that draw tons of current at high voltage, this 16 AWG cable is up to the task. This is a very high quality wire that will withstand sudden onslaughts of electricity and will not heat up. A cheap wire will get very hot because it has a lot of resistance, but this wire doesn't. In fact, on ultra light race setups I use 16 AWG as the main lead to keep the weight down and it works great as long as it's a short lead. On my 5" and 6" high kv builds I use 12 AWG because 14 or fewer solder joints will melt because it can't conduct current as quickly. At 180-200 grams dry with 2204 or 2205 for small tight runs I always use 16 AWG wire and the power wires don't even get hot after a race so this wire handles 40-50 amps continuous and 70-80 amps. bursts on a 3" piece of wire as it doesn't even get hot it can handle more. This is a good way to tell if your cable is the bottleneck in your power system. If the cables are slightly warm you probably can get slightly better performance by going for a wire bigger if its hot then you need two sizes bigger if your fusible solder joints ok then you need a much thicker wire lol and learn not to make extra thick solder joints, as this is a high resistance location.
