Ultra Flex Cable 0.9mm - 1 metre

Sideways Ultra Flex 0.9 mm Cable: Electrical Precision for Your Slot Car Builds

When preparing a slot car with care, every detail of the wiring matters. The Sideways Ultra Flex 0.9 mm 1 metre Cable (ref. SWCA001) is designed to facilitate work inside the chassis, where space is limited and cable flexibility is crucial for achieving a clean, safe, and efficient installation.

Main Features

• Section: 0.9 mm, suitable for electrical installations in competition and recreational slot cars.
• Length: 1 metre, sufficient for multiple connection points or to renew the complete wiring of a car.
• High Flexibility: the "Ultra Flex" finish makes it easy to guide the cable through narrow areas of the chassis without creating tension or bends that could compromise the connection.
• Sideways Brand: a reference in the slot world, known for its performance-oriented preparation accessories.

Function and Performance

A rigid or inadequately sized wiring can cause conduction losses or, in the worst case, micro-cuts that ruin a session. The extra flexibility of this cable allows it to be tensioned without the risk of breakage in areas that rub against the motor, the mounting plate, or the braid anchors, maintaining the integrity of the electrical circuit even under the vibrations typical of competition.

Recommended Applications

• Replacement of original wiring in plastic slot cars or competition chassis.
• Connection between braids and motor in custom preparations.
• Electrical installations in resin or aluminium chassis where the cable routing requires sharp directional changes.
• Preparation and tuning projects at the club or at home.

Assembly and Preparation

Cutting it to the exact length with a good pair of clean-cut pliers prevents fraying at the end and facilitates stripping. We recommend using high-quality terminals and ensuring that the soldering is clean: a good cable deserves a good solder. If you are working with very compact chassis, the smaller diameter of 0.9 mm is a real advantage over thicker cables, as it allows more room to accommodate other components without crowding the interior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cars is this cable compatible with?

As a generic electrical preparation cable, it is compatible with any slot car regardless of the brand: Slot.it, NSR, Scaleauto, Avant Slot, Scalextric, Ninco, etc. What determines compatibility is the section (0.9 mm) and the type of connection you make yourself.

Is one metre enough to wire an entire car?

In most cases, yes, as the internal runs of a slot car are short. With 1 metre, you can manage the complete wiring of a car and even have plenty of margin if any section does not turn out as expected on the first attempt.

What is the difference between an Ultra Flex cable and a standard cable?

An Ultra Flex cable has a greater number of twisted copper strands inside, which gives it more flexibility and resistance to fatigue from repeated bending. This is especially relevant in areas where the cable is close to moving parts or where the installation requires tight bends.

Can I use this cable to connect the braids to the motor?

Yes, it is one of the most common uses. Its flexibility makes it ideal for that section, where the cable usually passes through narrow areas close to the guide or chassis.

Do I need special tools to work with it?

No special tools are required: a wire stripper suited to the diameter, a good fine-tipped soldering iron, and quality solder are sufficient to achieve clean and durable connections.

The Sideways Ultra Flex Cable 0.9mm (1 metre, ref. SWCA001) is a high-flexibility electrical wire designed for slot car wiring and preparation. Its ultra-flex construction makes it ideal for tight chassis installations, connecting pick-up braids to the motor or rewiring competition slot cars from brands such as Slot.it, NSR, Scaleauto and Avant Slot. A reliable, professional-grade choice for slot car hobbyists and club racers looking for clean, efficient electrical setups.
