Battery leads for FW 450

[skipper1]

I'm getting ready to order some wire and banana plugs. Question, what guage of wire do I need to go with the 4mm banana plugs? If it helps, I'll be using Turnigy 4S 3000mah 20c.

i went with deans first but just redid everything to xt60's

10 gauge should be fine for the F450

Thanks, but, 10 awg is too big, 5.4mm, otherwise it would be perfect.

ive been using 14awg with xt60's.

i'm sure you already know this but regular banana plugs are NOT the choice for this kind of high current thing.

I suggest XT60 because theyre much less faff to solder than deans.

if however you mean 'bullets' then disregard my second sentence

Oops, I guess I'm getting the terminology mixed up a bit. I did mean bullets. And from my ignorance on the subject, 14 awg is the only guage that will work with 4mm bullets. Thank you. Now, to find some silicone 14 awg wire.
