HINT: Twisted wire tends to reduce radio interference if you have a lot of long servo leads in your model.

Tidy up and protect your servo wire. 10mm fits over servo cables. Works like Chinese finger cuffs, push ends toward center of piece to open up to insert wiring. Very nice for heli applications, keeps wires from straying and protects from friction damage. 3-foot packs available in Orange & Yellow. See other listings for color and size options.

This material shrinks easily with your covering shrink gun, lighter or other heat source. After shrinking, this higher quality tube stays flexible keeping your strain relief plans intact. Shrinks about 50%. 1/16 and 3/32 sizes are most popular for individual servo and park flier pack wires. 1/8" for strain relief on 2 pole 22 gauge battery pack wire, larger sizes for larger wire. Shown at right is 3/8" for locking together servo connectors you won't be able to easily inspect later.
Measurement is inside diameter.
Very economical to keep plenty of this material on hand. You'll find many uses, we even use the smallest size for wheel collars on some of our kits!
Sold in 3' lengths, typically comes in black, color shipped may vary.
Sold in multiples of 3' lengths.

We packed as much brute power and intelligence into this tiny layout as we possibly could and came up with a 15 amp* controller with ability to sustain an 8 amp BEC! Talon 15 measures just 1.1" long and is under 0.6" wide! At nearly the size of a quarter, this ESC supports an outlandish 8 amp** peak BEC with output voltage of 5.5 VDC. Applications range from foamies to micro and sub-micro helis running up to 4S and pulling 15 amps. As with any Castle ESC, the Talon 15 offers Castle's industry-leading functions, not to mention easy programming using the Castle Link USB adapter (coupon for free Castle Link included), or the Castle Field Link Portable Programmer (sold separately).

Notes from Dave: This is a world beater ESC. Now we can run high voltages in our smaller models with a small tight ESC from a quality manufacturer. I'm very excited to put one of these in my 5S, 16 ounce Stick 400. Sweet!

*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 15 amps for the duration of a single 4,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of 25C (77F) or cooler air. Controller temperature must never exceed 100C (212F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current draw at full-throttle. Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease the ESC's operating temperature.

**Peak indicates amperage sustainable for most servos' current draw transients. Always confirm servo current draw before the first flight of the model.

Twisted wire can be adjusted slightly in length by changing the number of twists. We try to get within about 1/2" of your spec. Please order long enough to compensate for minor variance.

Note: Stock machine made sizes and are lower cost and can suit many needs, find them in the connector category to fit your specific brand.

KEY: Think of a 1 legged stick man, the RX connector is the "Leg" and each side of the "Y" that connects to a servo is an "Arm". Our part number for you special Y reads as such if you prefer to mail in your order: CYSIL__L("leg)__A("Arm)__A("Arm).

Note: 2 wire battery pigtails in 6", 3 wire pigtails 10" and Micro Lite at 5" are available in machine made sizes and at lower cost, find them in the connector category to fit your specific brand. Check there first to see if any stock sizes will meet your needs.

Micro Lite: This type of wire is used most commonly in applications with small servos (.5 oz weight or less usually) in park flyers, foamies, sailplanes, DLG's and other models with low servo loads. You can save a bunch of weight eliminting beefy stock wiring from these smaller models.

26 Gauge Standard: This wire is what you find in most new radio sets and on most mid size to full size standard torque 4 screw mountable servos. This ribbon wire size is a good wire choice for those types of servos (and smaller) if the runs are 24" or less. Good for smaller servos in long runs such as sailplane wings and similar. For example, great for you 60" cub but use 2o gauge your outfitting a 100" Cub.

22 Gauge Heavy Duty: Use for all larger models and anyplace a high torque or digital servo might be used. Use for standard torque servos if your runs are very long (over 24")

Sometimes it's hard to tell the boys from the girls. Servo and battery ends are "MALE", RX's and Y harness receptacles are "FEMALE". When the pins are hidden, connectors are gendered by the shell. Just remember as an "assembly", a servo or battery plug fits inside an RX or Extension therefore it's male.
