Mustang M-CBL03 Silicone Wire: Reliability in Every Connection

The Mustang M-CBL03 silicone wire is a 1.3 mm diameter wire and 1 metre long, designed for the electrical installations of slot cars. Its silicone sheath provides remarkable flexibility and good heat resistance, two qualities highly valued when working with a soldering iron near delicate components.

Main Features

• Diameter: 1.3 mm
• Length: 1 metre
• Sheath: flexible silicone
• Reference: M-CBL03
• Brand: Mustang

Function and Performance

In a slot car setup, the quality of the wiring directly influences conductivity and, therefore, the motor's response. A rigid or low-quality wire can fracture over time due to the car's vibrations or hinder routing through narrow areas of the chassis. The silicone sheath of the M-CBL03 keeps the wire manageable even in short runs and sharp bends within the chassis, facilitating a clean and durable installation.

Recommended Applications

This wire is suitable for multiple connection points within the slot car:

• Connection between braids and motor.
• Routing from the motor to the guide connector.
• Replacement of damaged or low-diameter original wiring.
• Electrical installations in resin or acrylic chassis where space is limited.

Assembly and Preparation

Being a 1 metre wire, it allows cutting the exact lengths needed for each connection, utilising the material without waste. We recommend carefully stripping the end to avoid damaging the internal strands, properly tinning the tip with the soldering iron before applying it to the soldering point, and ensuring that the routing is not under tension or rubbing against moving parts of the axle or transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale is this wire intended for?

Although there is no scale restriction, its 1.3 mm diameter makes it particularly convenient for use in 1/32 scale cars, where space in the chassis is limited but the diameter is sufficient for proper conductivity.

Can I use it to connect the braids to the motor?

Yes, it is one of the most common uses for this type of wire. Its flexibility makes routing between the guide, braids, and motor terminals easier without straining the wire.

What advantage does the silicone sheath have over PVC?

Silicone better withstands the point heat from the soldering iron and is more flexible at low temperatures, reducing the risk of the sheath cracking or hardening over time.

Is it available in other colours or diameters?
