Technical Performance
The Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire achieves its remarkable performance characteristics through meticulous engineering of every component. At 10 AWG (equivalent to 6.0mm² cross-sectional area), this wire specification provides the sweet spot for modern brushless ESC systems in 1/10 and smaller scale competitive RC racing. The 2683 individual copper strands, each measuring just 0.05mm in diameter, create a conductor bundle that exhibits virtually no mechanical memory, meaning the wire naturally falls into position without kinks or creases that could impact both flexibility and electrical performance. The construction methodology means that despite delivering superior current handling compared to conventional 10AWG wiring, the voltage drop under typical racing loads remains exceptionally low—a critical advantage when every tenth of a volt contributes to acceleration response and top-speed capability. The premium quality silicone insulation selected by Team Corally provides reliable protection across the wide temperature range experienced during sustained competitive racing, from cool morning qualifying sessions to heat-soaked main event conditions. The pre-tinned copper construction ensures that solder connections maintain low resistance and reliability through repeated thermal cycling over a full racing season. The 5.5mm outer diameter allows this high-performance wire to be integrated into modern compact race car layouts without requiring re-engineering of harness routing or chassis design. Whether powering a high-speed brushless motor in a competitive pan car or delivering current to an ESC managing an aggressive 1/10 buggy setup, the Ultra V+ silicone wire performs as a transparent conduit for electrical power, never becoming the limiting factor in your RC car's performance envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is ultra-flexible silicone wire really necessary for competitive RC racing? — Yes, particularly in pan car and short-course truck racing where chassis flex and motor pod movement directly influence handling balance. Standard stiffer wires restrict this movement, degrading suspension response and making the car harder to drive through turns. The Corally Ultra V+ flexibility ensures your chassis geometry remains consistent even under aggressive driving, translating to better lap times and more predictable handling characteristics across multiple heats.
- Why does the Corally Ultra V+ have 70 per cent more strands than normal wire? — More individual strands dramatically reduce internal resistance and voltage loss, which directly improves performance. The 2683 strands at 0.05mm each create a more efficient electrical path than fewer, thicker strands, meaning your motor receives higher voltage under load. This translates to better acceleration response, improved top-speed consistency, and reduced heat generation in the motor and ESC during extended racing sessions.
- What does 10AWG and 6.0mm² really mean for my RC car? — 10 AWG is the American Wire Gauge standard, equivalent to approximately 6.0mm² cross-sectional area. This gauge provides the optimal balance between current handling capacity and physical size for modern 1/10 and smaller scale RC racing applications. It safely handles the current draw of contemporary brushless motors and ESCs whilst remaining compact enough to route easily through modern race car layouts without excess bulk or weight.
- Can I solder the Corally Ultra V+ wire easily myself? — Yes, the pre-tinned copper construction makes soldering exceptionally straightforward. The factory tin plating ensures quick solder wetting and reliable connections, even if you're performing field repairs between race heats. The fine individual strands require less heating time than conventional wire, reducing risk of insulation damage whilst ensuring strong, low-resistance solder joints.
- What is the difference between this and cheaper silicone wire alternatives? — The Corally Ultra V+ incorporates several premium engineering choices: 70 per cent more strands for lower resistance, highest-grade copper for superior conductivity, thinner silicone insulation for enhanced flexibility, and pre-tinned construction for reliable soldering. These factors combine to deliver lower voltage loss, higher current handling, exceptional flexibility, and more reliable performance throughout a competitive racing season—all critical advantages when competing at the highest levels.
