Key Features

• 70mm Diameter — The generous 70mm outer diameter makes this shrink tubing perfect for applications requiring larger coverage, such as bundling multiple wires together, protecting motor terminals, or insulating larger connector areas on your RC vehicle, ensuring maximum protection and a professional appearance.
• 1 Metre Length — With a full metre of tubing supplied, you'll have sufficient material for multiple projects and applications, making this an economical choice that offers excellent value compared to purchasing multiple smaller packages for your RC car or RC truck projects.
• Transparent Colour — The clear, see-through design allows you to monitor the contents of the tubing whilst providing complete electrical insulation and protection, which is particularly useful when you need to identify wires and connections at a glance during troubleshooting or maintenance of your RC model.
• Heat Shrink Technology — When heated using a heat gun or hair dryer, the tubing shrinks to securely grip around cables and connectors, creating a tight, permanent bond that prevents unwrapping, shifting, or exposure to moisture and dirt that could damage your RC electronics.
• Professional Grade Quality — Manufactured by Team Corally, a respected name in RC component engineering, this shrink tubing meets the quality standards expected by competitive RC racers and serious hobbyists alike, ensuring durability and reliable performance across countless heat-shrink cycles.
• Versatile Application — Suitable for use on brushless RC cars, electric RC trucks, RC buggies, crawlers, and virtually any scale RC model where you need to organise, protect, or insulate electrical connections and wire bundles.

Technical Performance

The Corally Shrink Tubing represents professional-grade heat shrink technology that has become an industry standard among RC enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond. The 70mm diameter specification makes this tubing suitable for larger-scale applications and substantial wire bundles that smaller diameter alternatives cannot accommodate. When subjected to heat, the tubing contracts uniformly around whatever it's applied to, creating a seal that is both mechanically secure and electrically insulating. This is particularly important in RC applications where vibration, moisture exposure, and thermal cycling from motor heat can gradually degrade poorly protected connections. The transparent formulation maintains visibility whilst delivering full insulation properties, making it an ideal choice for both functional and aesthetic applications on your RC car or RC truck. The 1-metre supply ensures you have adequate material for workshop projects without excessive wastage, and the material characteristics ensure multiple applications without degradation of the tubing itself. Corally's engineering ensures this shrink tubing maintains its flexibility and shrinking properties even after extended storage, so you can keep it in your workshop or maintenance kit for whenever RC projects demand it.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size heat gun do I need to shrink this 70mm tubing? — A standard hobby-grade heat gun works perfectly for this application, though many RC modellers use a hair dryer on high heat setting for smaller applications or a professional heat gun for quicker results. Simply apply heat evenly around the tubing until it visibly contracts and forms a tight seal around your wires or connectors. Be careful not to overheat, as excessive temperature can damage the tubing material.
• Is this shrink tubing suitable for waterproofing connections on my RC car? — Yes, the heat shrink tubing provides excellent protection against moisture ingress when properly applied. For RC vehicles that will encounter wet conditions, this transparent tubing is ideal for sealing connector areas and wire junctions. However, for maximum waterproofing, consider combining it with conformal coating or silicone sealant on critical connections before shrinking the tubing.
• How much shrinkage should I expect from the 70mm diameter? — Corally shrink tubing typically shrinks to approximately 50-60% of its original diameter when heated properly, which is standard for 2:1 ratio heat shrink tubing. This means 70mm tubing will contract to roughly 35-42mm diameter, providing a snug fit around larger wire bundles and connectors common in RC applications.
• Can I use this on both brushless and brushed RC cars? — Absolutely. This shrink tubing is application-agnostic and works equally well on brushless RC cars, brushed RC models, electric RC trucks, nitro vehicles, and any other scale RC setup where you need to organise, protect, or insulate electrical connections. It's one of the most versatile components in any RC modeller's toolkit.
• How long does 1 metre of 70mm tubing last? — The length depends entirely on how you use it. A single application might use 5-10cm of tubing per connection or wire bundle. With 1 metre supplied, you'll easily complete multiple projects, making this an economical purchase that will last through many RC car modifications, repairs, and builds.
• Is this shrink tubing suitable for beginners? — Yes, shrink tubing is beginner-friendly and represents one of the easiest ways to achieve professional-looking cable management and protection on any RC model. If you're new to RC cars or RC trucks, adding shrink tubing to your toolkit is a smart move that requires only basic tools and techniques to apply successfully.
