Overview
The Etronix 14AWG Silicone Wire Red (100cm) is an essential cable accessory for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliable electrical connections in their RC cars, trucks, buggies and crawlers. Whether you're building a custom RC setup, upgrading your existing model, or replacing damaged wiring, this premium silicone cable delivers the durability and performance you need. Silicone insulation is highly prized in the RC hobby because it remains flexible in cold conditions and resists cracking and degradation over time, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor RC driving in British weather.
This 100cm length of red 14AWG multi-core silicone cable is perfect for connecting batteries, ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers), and motors in your RC car UK setup. The 14AWG gauge provides an excellent balance between current-carrying capacity and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of RC applications from entry-level ready to run models to serious competition builds. The bright red colour makes it easy to identify positive connections in your wiring harness, helping you avoid costly mistakes during assembly and maintenance of your RC vehicle.
The Etronix brand is recognised throughout the RC community for delivering quality components at competitive prices, and this silicone wire is no exception. Supplied by RC Model Shop, a trusted UK RC retailer, you can be confident you're purchasing genuine Etronix products with full support and reliable supply. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher, a weekend competitor, or just starting your RC journey, having quality silicone cable in your spares box is essential maintenance practice.
Key Features
- 14AWG Gauge Rating — The 14AWG size provides optimal current-carrying capacity for most RC applications, from brushed and brushless motors to ESC connections, without being excessively thick or difficult to work with during soldering and assembly.
- Silicone Insulation — Premium silicone outer coating ensures the cable remains flexible even in cold conditions, resists cracking and degradation from UV exposure, and provides superior durability compared to standard PVC insulation commonly found in budget RC cables.
- Multi-Core Conductor Construction — The multi-core internal conductor design allows for superior flexibility and ease of routing through tight spaces in your RC car chassis, battery compartments and motor mounts, whilst maintaining excellent electrical conductivity.
- 100cm Length — The generous 100cm (1 metre) length provides plenty of cable for custom battery harnesses, extended motor leads, and interconnecting multiple components in larger RC setups or when building from scratch.
- Bright Red Colour — The distinctive red colour makes positive connections immediately identifiable in your electrical harness, reducing the risk of reversed polarity connections that could damage sensitive RC electronics or battery chargers.
- Quality Etronix Brand — Etronix is a recognised manufacturer of RC electrical components trusted by UK RC enthusiasts, offering excellent value without compromising on material quality or performance reliability.
Technical Performance
The Etronix 14AWG Silicone Wire Red represents excellent engineering value for RC hobbyists. The 14AWG gauge specification indicates a conductor diameter suitable for handling the amperage demands of most brushed and brushless RC motors, ESCs rated up to moderate current levels, and battery interconnect applications. The multi-core conductor construction provides significant advantages over solid core alternatives — it won't break under the vibration and flexing that occurs during normal RC car operation, making it far more reliable for field use where durability matters. The silicone insulation is the standout feature here; unlike PVC-insulated cables that become brittle in cold British winter conditions and crack under UV exposure during extended summer outdoor RC sessions, silicone maintains its flexibility and integrity throughout its service life. This cable is manufactured to exacting standards ensuring consistent conductivity, minimal voltage drop across connections, and long-term reliability whether you're powering a 3S LiPo-equipped 4WD RC buggy or assembling a custom crawler build. The 100cm length is practical for most RC car projects, allowing you to create extended motor leads, custom battery connectors, or repair damaged harnesses without waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is 14AWG gauge and why does it matter for my RC car? — AWG (American Wire Gauge) is the standard measurement for electrical wire thickness. 14AWG is a popular size in RC applications because it strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and current-carrying capacity, making it suitable for most brushed and brushless motor connections, ESC leads, and battery harnesses without being too rigid to route through tight spaces in your RC chassis.
- Is silicone cable better than standard PVC for RC use? — Absolutely. Silicone insulation offers superior performance in RC applications because it remains flexible in cold weather (important for UK winter RC driving), resists cracking from UV exposure during outdoor use, and maintains electrical integrity over many seasons. Standard PVC cables tend to become brittle and crack, especially in British weather conditions, leading to shorts and electrical failures.
- How long is 100cm and will it be enough for my RC build? — 100cm is one metre of cable, which is sufficient length for most RC car projects including creating custom battery harnesses with connectors, extending motor leads, or interconnecting multiple electrical components. If you need longer runs, you can purchase multiple lengths and solder them together.
- What can I use this cable for? — This 14AWG silicone cable is ideal for motor leads on brushed and brushless RC motors, ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) connections, battery harness construction, receiver battery connectors, and any custom wiring in your RC car where flexibility and durability are important.
- Is this cable suitable for beginners? — Yes, this cable is excellent for beginners building custom RC setups. The bright red colour helps you identify positive connections, silicone insulation is easier to work with than PVC for soldering, and the multi-core construction won't break during handling and installation.
- What gauge alternatives are available? — 14AWG is a mid-range gauge. Thicker gauges like 12AWG carry more current with less voltage drop but are stiffer and harder to route. Thinner gauges like 16AWG or 18AWG are more flexible but suitable only for low-current applications like receiver and servo wiring.
