Technical Performance
The Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire (model C-50106) represents a significant engineering achievement in RC electrical components. Specified as 10AWG wire, which equates to 5.26mm² cross-sectional area, this wire provides substantial current-carrying capacity essential for high-performance RC cars, particularly brushless motor setups drawing significant amperage during acceleration and top-speed runs. The outer diameter of just 5.5mm is remarkably compact for a 10AWG conductor, directly attributable to the thinner insulation and ultra-fine strand construction—this compact profile makes the wire significantly easier to route through tight spaces within RC chassis designs compared to thicker conventional alternatives. The 2683 strands of 0.05mm diameter copper create a conductor of exceptional quality; this stands approximately 70% higher strand count than standard silicone wire of equivalent gauge, which explains the superior flexibility and lower resistance characteristics. The pre-tinned construction ensures immediate solder-ability without requiring flux or additional preparation, reducing connection resistance and improving reliability. The pure silicone insulation provides excellent flexibility across typical RC racing conditions whilst maintaining electrical safety and insulation integrity. For 1/10 and 1/12 scale RC cars, particularly pan cars where space is extremely limited and motor pod articulation is critical to performance, this wire delivers measurable advantages in both electrical efficiency and mechanical freedom that racers depend upon.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Corally Ultra V+ better than standard silicone wire for RC cars? — The Corally Ultra V+ features 70% more strands than conventional silicone wire of the same gauge, with each strand measuring just 0.05mm in diameter. This construction creates dramatically lower internal resistance, allowing voltage to remain higher throughout the electrical system. The extreme flexibility means it never restricts mechanical movement in tight chassis spaces, which is particularly critical in 1/10 and 1/12 pan cars where every millimetre of component articulation directly affects performance. Additionally, the ability to handle higher currents for the same wire gauge provides greater safety margin in high-power RC racing applications.
- Is this wire suitable for high-performance brushless RC cars? — Absolutely. The 10AWG specification with 5.26mm² cross-sectional area provides ample current capacity for modern brushless motor systems. The lower internal resistance ensures minimal voltage drop, meaning your motor receives maximum voltage for peak performance. The pre-tinned construction guarantees reliable solder connections that maintain full electrical integrity under the demanding conditions of competitive RC racing. If you're running a brushless setup in a 1/10 or 1/12 scale RC car, this wire represents the premium choice for electrical excellence.
- Why is flexibility so important in RC car wiring? — In modern RC car designs, components must articulate and move to function properly. Standard stiff wiring can restrict suspension movement, bind motor pods, or limit drivetrain flexibility, all of which directly degrade handling and performance. The Corally Ultra V+ feels like a wet noodle because of its exceptional construction, allowing it to conform naturally to mechanical movement without resistance. This is why serious racers in the UK and globally specify this wire—it enhances rather than constrains their RC car's mechanical function.
- What is the voltage rating of this wire? — Whilst a specific voltage rating is not stated by the manufacturer, the 10AWG specification and premium silicone insulation make this wire suitable for typical RC racing applications up to and beyond 6S LiPo battery systems commonly used in competitive 1/10 scale racing. The pre-tinned copper and pure silicone ensure excellent performance across the standard voltage ranges encountered in modern RC cars.
- Can I easily solder connections with this wire? — Yes, this is one of the wire's key strengths. The copper strands arrive pre-tinned, meaning you can solder connections without requiring additional flux or special preparation. The pre-tinning significantly reduces the temperature and time required for soldering, improving connection reliability and reducing the risk of insulation damage from excessive heat. For RC enthusiasts installing this wire in their cars, the pre-tinned construction means faster, more reliable electrical connections every time.
- How does the 1 metre length compare to other wire options? — One metre of wire provides substantial material for complete electrical system installation in a typical 1/10 scale RC car, with sufficient length for motor connections, ESC connections, battery leads and interconnects. This length represents excellent value compared to bulk spools whilst eliminating excess waste. If you require additional wire beyond 1 metre, ordering multiple packs provides flexibility whilst maintaining the exceptional quality throughout your electrical system.
- What is the difference between the Ultra V+ and standard Corally silicone wire? — The Ultra V+ represents Corally's premium offering specifically engineered for racing applications. The dramatically higher strand count (2683 strands versus standard alternatives), combined with the thinner 0.05mm individual strand diameter and thinner silicone insulation, creates a wire that is significantly more flexible, has lower internal resistance, can handle higher currents, and maintains higher voltage delivery under load.
