Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire 14AWG 1018 Strand Super Flexible Black C-50121

Overview

The Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire represents the pinnacle of RC wiring technology, specifically engineered for competitive racing applications and demanding RC car enthusiasts across the UK. This super flexible black silicone wire has been meticulously developed by Team Corally with race performance in mind, delivering exceptional flexibility that users consistently describe as feeling like a wet noodle. Whether you're running a high-performance 1/12 pan car, a competitive 1/10 RC buggy, or any serious racing setup, the Ultra V+ silicone wire will not compromise your vehicle's performance or restrict the working movement of critical components like rear motor pods.

What sets this wire apart from standard silicone wiring solutions is the revolutionary strand construction and premium materials used throughout. The wire features an extraordinary 1018 strands of just 0.05mm thickness, which is approximately 70% more strands than conventional silicone wire of the same gauge. This engineering breakthrough delivers multiple simultaneous benefits: the wire becomes incredibly flexible and easy to route through tight spaces in your RC model, it can handle higher currents for the same wire gauge rating, and most importantly, the dramatically reduced internal resistance means voltage loss is minimised during operation. For competitive racers in the UK and beyond, this voltage retention translates directly into better motor performance and more consistent power delivery throughout your race runs.

The Corally Ultra V+ uses the highest grade copper available, paired with pure silicone insulation, to guarantee maximum power transfer and effortless soldering. Every strand is pre-tinned to make soldering connections quick and reliable, while the thinner silicone insulation further enhances the wire's legendary flexibility without compromising durability or electrical performance.

Key Features

• Ultra-thin 0.05mm copper strands — Each individual strand is only 0.05mm in diameter, which is significantly thinner than standard wire strands, allowing the overall wire to flex and bend without resistance while maintaining structural integrity during soldering and installation.
• Exceptional 1018 strand count — With 1018 individual copper strands, this wire contains approximately 70% more strands than normal silicone wire of equivalent gauge, dramatically increasing flexibility and current handling capacity without increasing wire gauge size.
• Lower internal resistance — The multi-strand construction with premium copper creates substantially lower electrical resistance within the wire itself, meaning less energy is wasted as heat and voltage remains higher throughout your circuit for consistent power delivery.
• Minimal voltage loss — Because internal resistance is reduced, the voltage reaching your motor, ESC and other components remains higher than with conventional wiring, providing noticeably better performance and responsiveness in competitive racing situations.
• Extreme flexibility — The combination of thin strands and pure silicone insulation creates wire that moves with your RC car without restriction, making it ideal for tight spaces in pan cars and vehicles where wire routing flexibility is essential for performance.
• Higher current capacity for same wire gauge — Thanks to the superior strand engineering and copper quality, the 14 AWG rating can safely handle higher current levels than standard 14 AWG wire, giving you more headroom for powerful setups.
• Pre-tinned copper wire — Every strand comes factory pre-tinned with solder, making connections fast, clean and reliable without requiring extensive soldering technique or experience, ideal for both novice and experienced builders.
• Thinner silicone insulation — The insulation layer has been optimised for thickness to further enhance flexibility without sacrificing electrical safety or durability, reducing overall wire diameter to just 3.5mm outer diameter.
• Pure silicone construction — The insulation is 100% silicone with no PVC or other materials, providing superior heat resistance, durability and flexibility compared to mixed insulation types.
• 14 AWG specification — At 14 AWG (2.08mm² cross-sectional area), this wire is ideal for high-current applications in RC cars, from main battery connections to ESC wiring, motor leads and more.
• Compact 3.5mm outer diameter — Despite the massive 1018 strand count, the outer diameter is only 3.5mm thanks to optimised insulation thickness, making routing through tight spaces significantly easier than thicker alternatives.
• 1 metre length — The 1m spool provides ample wire for complete wiring installations in most RC vehicles, with enough length to plan routing, make connections and account for soldered joints without waste.

Technical Performance

The Corally Ultra V+ Silicone Wire delivers exceptional performance characteristics that make it the preferred choice for competitive RC racing across the UK and internationally. With its 14 AWG rating (2.08mm² cross-sectional area) and 1018 strands of 0.05mm diameter copper, this wire provides the perfect balance of flexibility and electrical performance. The strand thickness of only 0.05mm is the key engineering advantage: conventional silicone wires use thicker strands that create internal stiffness and higher resistance, whilst the Ultra V+ uses ultra-thin strands bundled together to achieve extraordinary flexibility whilst actually reducing electrical resistance. The copper used is of the highest grade available, ensuring minimal electrical losses and maximum current carrying capacity. The pure silicone insulation resists heat, maintains flexibility in all temperatures, and peels cleanly for soldering without brittleness or cracking. Pre-tinned strands make soldering straightforward and reliable, with solder flowing evenly across the strand surface to create solid connections. The 3.5mm outer diameter is remarkably compact for a wire of this specification, achieved through careful optimisation of insulation thickness — thick enough to protect against short circuits and damage, but thin enough to maintain the legendary flexibility. The wire's lower internal resistance compared to standard 14 AWG silicone means voltage loss over the wire length is dramatically reduced, keeping more power flowing to your motor and ESC. For competitive racing applications in 1/10 and 1/12 pan cars, this difference in voltage retention directly translates to faster lap times and more consistent performance. The extreme flexibility means the wire won't fight your vehicle's suspension or motor pod movement, allowing mechanical components to work freely without restriction. This wire is purpose-built for demanding applications where every fraction of voltage, every gram of flexibility, and every millisecond of performance matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Corally Ultra V+ silicone wire suitable for competitive RC racing? — Yes, this wire is specifically engineered for race applications and competitive use. Team Corally designed it with racers in mind, particularly for 1/12 and 1/10 pan car racing where flexibility and voltage retention are critical to performance. The 70% higher strand count and lower internal resistance make it ideal for competition setups where every detail matters.
• What makes this wire different from standard silicone wire? — The Ultra V+ uses 1018 strands of 0.05mm diameter, compared to standard silicone wire which has far fewer and thicker strands. This creates approximately 70% more strands for the same 14 AWG rating, resulting in dramatically lower internal resistance, better voltage retention, and exceptional flexibility. The thinner silicone insulation and higher grade copper further enhance performance.
• Can this wire handle high current applications in my RC car? — Yes. The 14 AWG specification (2.08mm² cross-section) is rated for high-current applications. Additionally, due to the ultra-thin strand construction and premium copper, the Ultra V+ can safely handle higher currents for the same wire gauge than conventional silicone wire, giving you extra headroom for powerful motors and ESCs.
• How flexible is this wire really? — The wire is exceptionally flexible — users describe it as feeling like a wet noodle. The 1018 ultra-thin strands allow it to bend and flex without the stiffness of conventional wire. This extreme flexibility is particularly valuable in 1/10 and 1/12 pan cars where the rear motor pod needs to work freely without wire resistance limiting suspension movement.
• What is the outer diameter of this wire? — The outer diameter is only 3.5mm, making it significantly more compact than standard silicone wire of equivalent gauge. This allows easier routing through tight spaces in modern RC car chassis whilst maintaining all the performance benefits.
