LiPo wireing

[xzc426]

Ok, quick question: If I changed the wires to the LiPo batts I bought from AtomicMods to thinner more flexible wires, would that decrease the juice my car recieves? And if it does, would it be a significant difference? O, and the wire isn't servo wire thin, it's probably around half the diameter of the AM lipo wire.

Thanks in advance.

yes it would restrict it.
I wouldnt suggest changing it.

it would restrict it, but as for noticing a difference, that would depend on what kind of motor your running. stock motors or not very hot motors, probably wouldn't see a difference. but as far as hotter motors you would see a performance decrease with the smaller wire.

I usually run an atomic awd stock (can't right now because its rwd due to the lipo blocking center shaft) so it wouldn't make much of a difference then?

i wouldn't see it make a big difference in that motor. thats not a very high drawing motor since its the stock version. just be care when soldering and unsoldering the old wires on the packs. you dont want to damage it. you don't have any guage ratings or reference pics on the wire you wanting to you do you? just to make sure.

Nah, no pics. ...well, nothing beats trying it out
