This is some absolutely scary timing. I was just trying to figure out whether or not I could use a 14awg wire in my 1/14 RC as the 12awg has been an absolute pain to solder with. Everywhere I looked had conflicting information with some gauges being more than a 100 amps off one chart to another. Hearing this info gives me some great insight into why these numbers are so wacky. This is great information!

Since i bought myself a 100 and 200W soldering bold (with high mass tips) i have no problem soldering anything. Most importantly, you only need seconds to heat something up and solder it.

Very good explanation

Thank you Colin!

That's a good point. Thanks for sharing.

so what AVG should i use on a 6.5t motor in a mod buggy? hobbywing xr10pro is 12avg and i heard people gone to 14avg to get a lighter setup.

All that interesting work went into the clip at 6:41, only to be relegated to a flash of B roll. I guess for KZread you need to appeal to the broad masses. I'll guess many in your audience will be interested in understanding that board work. The math is accurate regardless of application, so the different tables are all about huge variance in duty cycle, air flow, adjacent vital structures, and battery limitations.

I believe it's from a different video of his. He is a bit of math wiz and a lot of his other/older videos contain a lot of depth on the math side of the hobby.

Can we get some crimp or lug type connectors that don't need soldering?

There are crimp connectors, but they suck, they will pull out very easy. I’d recommend learning how to solder. It’s not that hard!

​@rtz549 you must be using some really low temperature solder or the wire and connector are too small. I believe but I could be mistaken that the melting point of most electrical solder is around 200°C while the silicone insulation is rated to 150°C. You'd be melting and shorting the cables long before the solder gives way. If the heat from the connector is melting the solder then I'm almost certain you are over amping the connector.

@@cillianwilliamson16 yea your wire insulation will melt before solder, if you’re using good solder.

High Amps, crimp and solder connections hermetically.
