Default What is the best gauge wire to use in 6 Cell?

What is the best gauge wire to use in 6 Cell mods? Around 20?

edit - and does it matter what color wire you use? like at radioshack, they have some wire that comes with 15ft of green, 15ft red, and 15ft black. does it matter what color you use, or is it just so its easier to identify if you do more work on it.

Save weight, use 22AWG. It's not important though.

If you think the color of the insulation matters... I hope you're only wondering about the different insulative properties of different dyes.

Max voltage typically is 7.2V. However, the occasional Frankenstein car can do 11.1V. Just ask ph2t.

green makes it go faster and red gives you more torque
