For UK RC car enthusiasts serious about competition or high-performance bashers, the Ultra V+ offers unmatched value. The wire's revolutionary construction delivers superior electrical performance compared to standard 12AWG silicone wire, with measurably lower internal resistance and reduced voltage loss across the circuit. This means more of your battery's power reaches your motor, translating directly into better acceleration, higher top speed, and more responsive throttle control. Combined with premium copper construction and pure silicone insulation that's been optimised for maximum flexibility, the Team Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire is an investment in genuine performance gains.
Key Features
- 1731 Strands of 0.05mm Copper — The revolutionary strand construction delivers 70% more strands than standard silicone wire, each strand measuring just 0.05mm in diameter. This extreme subdivision of the conductor creates an unprecedented level of flexibility whilst maintaining superior current-carrying capacity, allowing the wire to bend, flex and articulate without kinking or losing performance.
- Ultra-Low Internal Resistance — The massive increase in strand count combined with premium-grade copper means significantly lower internal resistance compared to standard 12AWG wires. Lower resistance translates directly to lower voltage loss across the circuit, ensuring maximum power delivery from battery to motor and improved overall system efficiency.
- Extreme Flexibility — Engineered to feel like a wet noodle, this wire bends and routes with minimal effort, making it ideal for tight spaces in modern RC car designs. The flexibility grade is rated as Flexible – Super Soft, meaning it won't restrict the working of rear motor pods or cause mounting stress on delicate connectors.
- Higher Current Capacity for Same Wire Gauge — Despite being rated at 12AWG, the Ultra V+ can safely handle more current than conventional 12AWG silicone wire. The improved strand structure provides better current distribution and heat dissipation, allowing serious racers to push their systems harder with confidence.
- Pre-Tinned Copper Construction — The wire arrives pre-tinned, which means solder flows smoothly and creates reliable connections every time. This is a significant time-saver during builds and repairs, and it dramatically reduces the risk of cold solder joints that could cause power loss or intermittent electrical faults.
- Thinner Silicone Insulation — Rather than using thick insulation that compromises flexibility, Team Corally has optimised the insulation thickness to the absolute minimum required for safety and durability. This further contributes to the wire's exceptional flexibility without sacrificing electrical protection.
- Premium Materials Throughout — The highest grade of copper and pure silicone insulation ensure maximum power delivery and trouble-free soldering. These aren't budget materials — they're the same quality found in professional racing systems.
- Perfect for Competition and High-Performance RC Racing — Developed specifically for racing applications, this wire is trusted by serious competitors who understand that every fraction of a second counts. The performance advantages are real and measurable.
Technical Performance
The Team Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire is engineered from the ground up for maximum electrical performance in RC racing applications. The 12AWG specification (3.30mm² conductor cross-section) provides excellent current-carrying capacity whilst the outer diameter of only 4.5mm keeps the overall footprint minimal for compact RC installations. The wire length of 1 metre provides ample material for most RC car builds, and can easily be cut to the required length for battery connectors, ESC leads, and motor connections. The pure silicone insulation provides excellent dielectric properties, ensuring safe operation even in high-speed racing conditions where heat generation can be an issue. The pre-tinned copper conductor accepts solder immediately and creates rock-solid connections without requiring flux or extended heating times. The colour coding in red helps maintain organisation and prevents polarity mistakes during assembly — a critical consideration when working with LiPo batteries where reversed polarity can cause catastrophic damage. The flexibility of this wire makes it particularly valuable in 1/10 and 1/12 pan car designs, where every millimetre of space matters and traditional stiff wiring can physically interfere with suspension geometry. In brushless RC systems running 2S, 3S, or higher LiPo batteries, the Ultra V+ delivers noticeably lower voltage sag compared to standard wiring, resulting in stronger acceleration and better top speed performance. This is particularly noticeable in competition environments where the difference between a 0.5% voltage loss and a 2% voltage loss can mean the difference between winning and losing a race.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between Ultra V+ wire and standard silicone racing wire? — The Ultra V+ features 1731 individual strands of 0.05mm diameter, compared to standard silicone wire which typically has far fewer, thicker strands. This means 70% more strands in the same 12AWG gauge, resulting in dramatically lower internal resistance, better current capacity, noticeably lower voltage loss, and exceptional flexibility. For serious racers running brushless systems on LiPo batteries, these performance advantages translate into measurable gains in acceleration and top speed.
- Is this wire suitable for beginners in RC racing? — Absolutely. Whilst the Ultra V+ is engineered for professional racers, there's nothing difficult about using it. The pre-tinned construction makes soldering even easier for beginners, and the exceptional flexibility makes routing wires through tight spaces much simpler. If you're building a brushless RC car of any type — whether 1/10 scale buggy, truggy, truck or pan car — this wire will serve you better than standard alternatives, from day one.
- What is the outer diameter and why does it matter? — The outer diameter is just 4.5mm, which is noticeably thinner than standard 12AWG silicone wire. This compact size is crucial in modern RC car designs, particularly 1/10 and 1/12 scale pan cars, where space constraints are severe. Thinner wire also means less weight and less bulk in the electrical system, contributing to better handling and more consistent performance.
- Can I use this wire for motor connections on my brushless RC car? — Yes, this is exactly what it's designed for. The 12AWG specification and high current capacity make it ideal for motor lead connections on brushless systems running 2S, 3S, 4S or even higher voltage LiPo batteries. The pre-tinned construction means bullet connectors solder on perfectly, and the flexibility means the wires won't kink or break during soldering or repeated flexing.
- What are the benefits of lower internal resistance? — Lower internal resistance means less power is wasted as heat in the wiring itself, and more power reaches your motor. In practical terms, this means noticeably better acceleration, higher top speed, and more responsive throttle control. Competitive racers can measure the difference — in high-speed runs, voltage sag is reduced and the system maintains better power delivery throughout the entire battery discharge cycle.
- Is this wire pre-tinned and ready to solder? — Yes, the Ultra V+ arrives pre-tinned, which means solder flows instantly and creates reliable connections without fuss. This is a huge advantage for racers who need to quickly repair or modify their setups mid-competition.
- How flexible is this wire really? — The Ultra V+ is rated as Flexible – Super Soft, which means it bends like a wet noodle compared to standard wire. It won't kink, won't crack, and handles repeated flexing without developing weak spots. This level of flexibility is essential in rear motor pod applications where the wire must move freely with suspension articulation.
