I have notice when guys scratch build cars the lead wires are thicker than what comes on RTR cars. Any advantage to the thicker wires?

If you goto slotcarcorner.com, Steve sells some great wire there. He is also great to email any questions that you might have

I will back up teamster John. Go to Steve Sawtel @ Slot car corner. His is the best hook up wire which you can get and less expensive than anyone else. Note*
he also answers e-mails within a couple of hours. Great guy... great products... you won't be dissapointed.

Unless your motor draws four amps or more, extra copper thickness does nothing but add weight and bulk. Extra-thick insulation (like Slot.It wires) is
excessive, and does nothing (except get jammed up inside the nose). I have used SlotCarCorner wire and it is thin, carries the current, and is flexible.

Thanks for the replies. Thin is in.
