Key Features
- 14AWG Gauge Rating — The 14AWG specification (approximately 2.03mm diameter) provides the ideal balance between current-carrying capacity and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of RC applications where you need reliable power transmission without excessive weight or bulk.
- 100cm Length — This generous length gives you flexibility in routing cables throughout your RC model, whether you're connecting batteries, ESCs, motors or servo systems, and allows for custom configurations to suit your specific build requirements.
- Silicone Shielded Multi-Core Construction — The silicone jacket provides superior protection against physical damage, moisture intrusion and UV degradation compared to standard PVC insulation, ensuring your connections remain reliable even in challenging outdoor RC environments across the UK.
- Premium Silicone Jacket — The durable silicone covering is flexible and resistant to cracking, splitting and deterioration, which means your cable will maintain its integrity through repeated bending, flexing and coiling that's typical in RC installations.
- Orange Colour Identification — The bright orange finish makes this cable instantly recognisable in your wiring harness, helping you quickly identify power lines and reducing the risk of incorrect connections during assembly or troubleshooting.
- Multi-Core Internal Construction — The multiple internal strands provide superior flexibility and fatigue resistance compared to solid conductors, allowing the cable to withstand the constant movement and vibration experienced in active RC models.
Technical Performance
The Etronix 14AWG Silicone Wire represents a genuine investment in the reliability and longevity of your RC model. The multi-core construction with individual strands twisted together provides excellent mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, whilst the premium silicone jacket offers outstanding protection against the elements that UK RC enthusiasts encounter. At approximately 2.03mm in diameter, this 14AWG gauge is perfectly suited for moderate current applications in RC vehicles, offering sufficient cross-sectional area for efficient power delivery whilst remaining flexible enough for practical use in confined spaces within your RC chassis. The silicone shielding is resistant to temperatures ranging across typical RC operating conditions, and the material's inherent flexibility means it won't crack or become brittle over time like cheaper PVC alternatives. Whether you're building a high-performance brushless RC car, a crawler tackling challenging terrain, or a stadium truck designed for high-speed bashing, quality wiring like this is essential for maintaining consistent electrical connections and preventing voltage drops that could impact your model's performance. The 100cm length provides ample material for most internal wiring tasks, from battery connections to motor leads and ESC wiring, with enough extra for future modifications or adjustments to your RC setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is 14AWG wire used for in RC models? — 14AWG silicone wire is ideal for general internal wiring in RC cars, trucks, buggies and crawlers, particularly for connections between batteries, ESCs, motors and servo systems where you need reliable current-carrying capacity with flexibility and durability.
- Is silicone wire better than standard PVC wire for RC? — Yes, silicone wire is significantly superior to PVC for RC applications because it remains flexible at all temperatures, resists cracking and UV damage, and provides better long-term reliability even in outdoor conditions typical across the UK. It's particularly valuable for models that experience frequent use, temperature fluctuations and exposure to sunlight.
- What does 2.03mm diameter mean in practical terms? — This is the approximate outer diameter of the cable and represents the 14AWG gauge specification. It's thin enough to route easily through tight spaces in your RC model whilst being substantial enough to safely carry the currents typical in hobby-grade brushless RC vehicles.
- Can I use this wire for battery connections? — Yes, this wire is suitable for internal battery connections and wiring, though for very high-current applications you may want to verify the specific current rating requirements of your battery and ESC system to ensure it meets your needs.
- How flexible is this cable for tight routing? — The multi-core silicone construction makes this cable highly flexible and easy to route through tight spaces in RC chassis, around motor mounts and along frame rails without kinking or cracking, unlike stiffer single-core alternatives.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. RC enthusiasts of all experience levels use quality silicone wire for building and maintaining their models. The flexibility and durability of this cable make it forgiving for inexperienced builders, and its bright orange colour helps prevent wiring mistakes.
- What is the difference between this and cheaper wire alternatives? — Premium Etronix silicone wire offers superior durability, flexibility and environmental resistance compared to budget PVC alternatives. The silicone jacket won't degrade in sunlight, the multi-core construction is more robust, and it will perform reliably season after season of RC use.
