Extra-flexible cable 1 metre long, with an outer diameter of 1.8 mm and an inner section of 0.75 mm². A reference from NSR designed for electrical installations in slot cars where flexibility and conductivity make the difference.
NSR Extra-Flexible Wire: The Electrical Foundation of a Good Setup
In the world of competitive slot racing, the internal electronics of a car are as important as its chassis or tyres. The NSR4826EVO is a 1 metre long wire, with a 1.8 mm outer diameter and a 0.75 mm² inner cross-section, specifically designed for installations in slot cars where real flexibility is needed without compromising electrical conductivity.
Main Features
- Length: 1 metre, sufficient for multiple connections or to work comfortably and cut to size.
- Inner Cross-Section: 0.75 mm², a generous cross-section that ensures good current transmission and minimises losses.
- Outer Diameter: 1.8 mm, compact enough to fit easily into the tight spaces of a slot chassis.
- Extra-Flexible Construction: the internal braiding is designed to facilitate the routing of the wire within the car without bending or breaking.
Function and Performance
The flexibility of a wire is not a minor detail in a prepared slot car. A rigid wire can create tension on soldered connections, loosen contacts with track vibrations, and compromise current transmission over sessions. The NSR4826EVO precisely avoids this: its extra-flexible construction allows for clean and durable routing, with tight bends without the risk of damaging the insulation or the internal conductor.
The 0.75 mm² cross-section is a balanced choice for powering the motor and braids of a 1/32 slot car under intensive use conditions, both in clubs and competitions.
Recommended Applications
This wire is suitable for connecting the braids to the motor, or for any point in the car's internal electrical circuit where flexibility and good conductivity are required. Its one-metre length allows for cutting the necessary strips for various interventions or reserving the surplus for future preparation projects.
It is compatible with the usual preparation work for 1/32 slot cars, whether in plastic, aluminium, or steel chassis.
Assembly and Preparation
For optimal results, it is advisable to strip the end precisely, without damaging the inner strands, and to solder with good quality tin. A routing with sufficient slack, without tension, ensures that the wire does not pull on the solder joints during operation. If you install the wire between the braids and the motor, ensure that the routing is away from moving parts such as the axle or crown gear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this wire used for in a slot car?
It is used for the internal electrical connections of the car, primarily between the braids and the motor. Its function is to conduct the current captured from the track to the motor efficiently and without losses.
Why does the flexibility of the wire matter in slot racing?
A rigid wire accumulates tension at the solder joints and can generate micro-cuts or poor contact over time, especially on vibrating tracks. The extra-flexible construction reduces that risk and prolongs the lifespan of the connections.
How many cars can I prepare with 1 metre of wire?
It depends on the length you use for each installation. In typical setups, 1 metre provides enough material to prepare several cars or to keep a spare length for repairs.
Is it compatible with all 1/32 slot cars?
Generally yes, as its outer diameter of 1.8 mm is compact and fits into the usual spaces of 1/32 slot chassis made of plastic, aluminium, or steel. However, in very tight chassis, it is advisable to check the available space before installation.
Do I need special tools to work with this wire?
A precision wire stripper, a controlled-power soldering iron, and suitable tin for electronics are sufficient. NSR and Sloting Plus offer specific tools for slot preparation that facilitate this type of work.
