Technical Performance

The Corally Shrink Tubing C-50222 is engineered with precision to meet the exacting standards of the RC hobby. The PVC construction provides excellent electrical insulation properties whilst maintaining flexibility for ease of application over wires and connectors. The 4.7mm diameter is a standard size that accommodates most commonly used wire gauges in RC electrical systems, from small gauge servo wires to larger diameter battery and motor leads. The 50% shrink ratio ensures that when heated with a heat source such as a heat gun or lighter, the tubing contracts evenly and securely around whatever it's covering, creating a watertight, vibration-resistant seal. The 70mm length of each piece provides ample material for covering solder joints, connectors, and substantial wire sections without waste. The dual-colour design (red and black) is not merely aesthetic—it serves the critical function of circuit identification, allowing you to maintain professional standards in your electrical work and making future maintenance, repairs, and diagnostics far simpler. Whether you're building a custom wiring harness for a brushless RC motor system, repairing damaged wires on your RC buggy after a crash, or upgrading connectors on your RC truck, this shrink tubing delivers the quality and reliability that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size wire does this 4.7mm shrink tubing fit? — The 4.7mm diameter is designed for standard RC wire gauges commonly used in RC cars, trucks, buggies, and crawlers. With its 50% shrink ratio, it will accommodate wires from approximately 6-8mm down to 3-4mm in diameter, making it suitable for motor leads, battery connectors, and servo wires used throughout the RC hobby.
• Is shrink tubing essential for RC cars? — Absolutely. Shrink tubing is a critical consumable for any RC enthusiast maintaining or building RC models. It provides electrical insulation and protection for solder joints and wire connections, prevents corrosion from moisture and dirt, protects against short circuits, and is essential for creating professional, reliable electrical systems in your RC vehicle.
• How do I apply shrink tubing to my RC car wires? — Slide the appropriate length of tubing over your wire or connector, then apply heat using a heat gun, lighter, or soldering iron until the tubing shrinks snugly around the wire. The 50% shrink ratio means it will contract significantly, creating a tight, secure fit that won't slip during use.
• Why do I need both red and black tubing? — Colour-coding your electrical circuits is a professional practice that makes maintenance far easier. Red typically indicates positive (power) connections whilst black indicates negative (ground) connections, allowing you to instantly identify circuit function and making troubleshooting and repairs much simpler when working on your RC car.
• Is this tubing suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Shrink tubing is one of the easiest and most forgiving electrical components to use, making it perfect for beginners learning to solder and build custom wiring harnesses. The 4.7mm size and generous 70mm length make it easy to work with, and the dual colours help you learn proper circuit organisation from the start.
• How many wires can I cover with 10 pieces? — With 10 pieces of 70mm tubing, you can cover multiple connections depending on how much of each piece you use. You could easily cover 5-10 solder joints, several connector pairs, or create colour-coded harnesses for multiple RC vehicles, making this set excellent value for money.
