0.8 mm Silicone Wire: Reliability in Every Electrical Connection

The M-CBL01 from Mustang is a 0.8 mm section silicone wire with a 1 metre length, designed for those who pay attention to every detail of the internal wiring of their slot cars. At this scale, a good wire is not a secondary accessory: it is directly part of the performance and reliability on track.

Main Features

• Section: 0.8 mm
• Length: 1 metre
• Material: flexible silicone
• Brand: Mustang
• Reference: M-CBL01

Function and Performance

The silicone coating offers superior flexibility compared to conventional PVC wires, making it easier to lay in tight spaces such as slot car chassis. Its behaviour under the heat generated by the motor and braids is more stable, and handling during assembly is considerably simpler thanks to this characteristic flexibility.

With a section of 0.8 mm, it is an appropriate gauge for motor connections, braids, and auxiliary electronics in 1/32 and 1/24 scale cars, without adding unnecessary weight or taking up space that the chassis cannot afford.

Assembly and Preparation

When preparing a car, the internal wiring is one of those aspects that the most demanding preparers do not leave to chance. A poor contact, a wire that is too rigid putting tension on the connection, or a poorly planned route can result in power losses or intermittent failures during a race. With 1 metre of wire, there is enough material to wire several cars or to carry out several routing tests before finalising the installation.

We recommend tinning the ends well before soldering, ensuring a clean joint both at the motor and at the contact point with the braids.

Ideal for…

• Slot car club or competition preparers looking for quality wiring.
• Enthusiasts restoring or modifying slot cars who need to replace the original wiring.
• Hobby workshops requiring small format silicone wire for detail work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale is this wire suitable for?

The 0.8 mm section makes it especially practical for slot cars in 1/32 and 1/24 scale, where internal space is limited and the weight of the wiring is of some relevance.

What advantage does the silicone coating have over PVC?

Silicone is more flexible, better withstands temperature variations, and is easier to handle in small spaces. Additionally, it does not harden over time as some PVC wires may.

Is one metre of wire sufficient to wire a complete slot car?

Generally yes. In most 1/32 slot cars, the wiring run is very short, so with 1 metre, you can comfortably wire a car and even have leftover material for testing or a second vehicle.

Can it also be used in static models or dioramas?

Yes. Its fine diameter makes it useful for simulating wiring in static models, figures, or dioramas where scale conduits or connections need to be represented.
