Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire 14AWG Black Red 3.5mm 2x1m C-50122

Overview

The Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire in Black and Red is a premium-grade electrical cable designed specifically for RC hobbyists who demand reliability, flexibility, and superior performance in their RC car builds. Whether you're setting up a new RC model car, rewiring an existing rig, or building a custom RC project, this professional-quality silicone wire delivers the conductivity and durability you need. Available in the UK from RC Model Shop, this wire is an essential component for anyone serious about maintaining high-quality electrical connections in their RC vehicles.

This particular variant combines both black and red conductors in a single convenient package, making it ideal for positive and negative power connections. The Ultra V+ range from Corally represents the pinnacle of silicone wire technology for RC applications, offering exceptional flexibility that makes routing cables through tight spaces in your RC chassis far easier than traditional PVC-insulated alternatives. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking for dependable, colour-coded wiring solutions, the Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire is the professional choice.

Designed for demanding RC applications including RC buggies, RC monster trucks, RC crawlers, and high-performance RC vehicles, this wire handles the power demands of modern brushless ESCs whilst maintaining flexibility even in cold conditions. The dual-colour package ensures you can properly colour-code your positive and negative connections, a critical safety practice in RC car electrical systems that prevents costly mistakes and potential damage to your equipment.

Key Features

• Super Flexible Silicone Insulation — The silicone outer jacket provides exceptional flexibility that allows you to route the wire through confined spaces within your RC chassis without kinking or cracking, unlike rigid PVC alternatives that become brittle over time.
• 14AWG Gauge — The 14 American Wire Gauge specification provides an optimal balance between current-carrying capacity and cable thickness, making this wire suitable for mid-range power systems common in modern RC cars without excessive bulk.
• 1018 Strands of 0.05mm Copper — The ultra-high strand count of 1018 individual fine copper strands ensures exceptional flexibility and reduced resistance compared to cables with fewer, thicker strands, resulting in more efficient power delivery to your RC vehicle's motor and ESC.
• 3.5mm Outer Diameter — The compact 3.5mm OD allows the wire to fit through connector holes and tight routing channels in your RC model without requiring modification, whilst maintaining a professional appearance in your wiring harness.
• Black and Red Colour Pair — This package supplies one metre each of black and red wire, providing proper colour-coding for negative and positive connections respectively, which is essential for safe RC electrical work and following professional wiring standards.
• 2 Metres Total Length — With one metre of each colour included, you have sufficient wire for complete battery-to-ESC connections plus auxiliary power leads in most RC car configurations, with plenty of spare for future upgrades.
• Ultra V+ Professional Grade — Corally's Ultra V+ designation indicates this wire meets exacting standards for conductivity, insulation quality, and durability, making it the trusted choice for competitive RC racers and serious hobbyists across Europe.

Technical Performance

The Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire represents state-of-the-art cable engineering for RC applications. At 14AWG gauge, this wire is rated for moderate to high-current applications typical of brushless RC motors and modern electronic speed controllers. The specification of 1018 strands at 0.05mm diameter means each individual copper filament is extremely fine, allowing the cable to achieve remarkable flexibility whilst maintaining excellent electrical conductivity. The total outer diameter of just 3.5mm makes this wire significantly more compact than traditional alternatives, an advantage when routing power connections through tight RC chassis spaces. The silicone insulation remains supple even in cold conditions, ensuring you can work with and route the wire during winter testing sessions without fear of cracking the insulation jacket. The red and black colour coding follows standard electrical practice, with red indicating the positive 12V or battery positive connection and black indicating negative or ground. This wire excels in high-vibration RC environments where traditional PVC-insulated cables would eventually crack, and the superior flexibility reduces mechanical stress at solder joints and connector terminations, extending the lifespan of your RC electrical connections. For RC enthusiasts in the UK building or maintaining brushless RC cars, this cable provides the reliability and performance characteristics expected in professional-grade systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire suitable for all RC cars and trucks? — Yes, the 14AWG gauge makes this wire compatible with most modern brushless RC cars, buggies, trucks and crawlers available to UK hobbyists. The wire is particularly well-suited for vehicles running 2S to 4S LiPo batteries with mid-range brushless motors. For extremely high-powered systems (8S and above), you may want to consider the thicker 12AWG alternative also available from Corally.
• Why is silicone insulation better than PVC for RC applications? — Silicone insulation remains flexible even in cold conditions and withstands the vibration, heat cycles, and mechanical stress found in RC vehicles far better than PVC. PVC becomes brittle and cracks over time, particularly in cold weather common in the UK winter season, whereas silicone maintains its integrity throughout the product lifespan.
• Do I need a soldering iron to connect this wire? — Yes, silicone wire is typically terminated by soldering to motor connectors, ESC pads, or battery connectors. We recommend using a quality soldering iron in the 40-80W range. Corally offers professional DSI PRO digital soldering irons specifically designed for RC applications if you need equipment.
• What is the difference between 14AWG and 12AWG wire? — The 12AWG wire has a thicker copper core with 1731 strands at 0.05mm and a 4.5mm outer diameter, allowing it to handle higher current loads with less resistance. For high-powered RC systems or competition vehicles, 12AWG is preferable. The 14AWG in this product offers a good balance for recreational and mid-level competitive use in typical RC cars.
• Can I use this wire with solderless connectors? — Whilst silicone wire can be used with solderless connectors (such as bullet connectors or XT90 connectors), soldering provides a more reliable, low-resistance connection for RC applications. For best results, we recommend soldering this wire to your connectors for optimal power delivery and reliability during RC driving sessions.
• How much current can 14AWG silicone wire handle safely? — 14AWG silicone wire is rated for continuous current around 20-25 amps under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for most brushless motors and ESCs in the 3S to 4S LiPo range. For peak currents above 25 amps or extended high-current use, consider upgrading to the 12AWG variant.
