Slot.it Racing Silicone Cable: flexibility and reliability for your electrical installations
When it comes to preparing a slot car for competition, every detail matters — including the wiring. The Slot.it Racing Silicone Cable (ref. SISP22B) offers 1 metre of high-flexibility silicone wire, designed to meet the demands of the most discerning tuners.
Main features
- Length: 1 metre, sufficient for multiple applications or to completely renew the wiring of a car.
- Material: high-flexibility silicone, allowing for easy routing within the chassis without the risk of breakage or fatigue from repeated bending.
- Brand: Slot.it, a global leader in precision spare parts and components for competitive slot racing.
Function and performance
Silicone as an insulating material offers clear advantages over conventional PVC: greater resistance to heat generated by the motor, better performance against vibrations, and flexibility that facilitates clean routing through the internal channels of the chassis. In a car prepared to perform at its best, a well-managed electrical installation reduces contact losses and improves response to the controller.
Compatibility and applications
This cable is suitable for any electrical installation in 1/32 or 1/24 scale slot cars, regardless of the chassis brand. It is especially useful for:
- Connection between braids and motor.
- Renewal of original wiring in standard or competition cars.
- Custom installations in resin or injected plastic chassis.
Assembly and preparation
Working with silicone wire requires a bit more care when soldering than with PVC, as the insulation is more sensitive to the direct heat of the soldering iron. We recommend a fine-tipped soldering iron with controlled temperature, pre-tinning the ends of the wire, and being quick in applying heat. The result, once secured, is a clean and durable joint.
Frequently asked questions
How many metres does the product include?
The product includes 1 metre of silicone wire.
Is it compatible with any slot car?
Yes, as it is a generic electrical installation wire, it is compatible with any slot car that requires internal wiring, regardless of brand or scale.
Why choose silicone wire over standard PVC?
Silicone wire better withstands heat, is more flexible, and has greater durability against repeated bending. In a competition car, this translates to a more reliable and long-lasting installation.
Can it be cut into smaller pieces?
Of course. One metre of wire allows you to cut it into the lengths you need for each connection in the car.
What diameter or gauge does the wire have?
The gauge information is not specified in the data provided by the manufacturer for this reference. If you need this information before placing your order, we recommend contacting us directly.
