MMP on 6s do I need to change wires? - 03.15.2010, 03:14 PM

As the title states im wondering what the min. wire gage I need to run my MMP on 6s with Tekin T8 1400Kv motor in HB Ve8 on 6s 2650 40c lipo. Will I be OK with all the original wiring on the MMP or do I need to go up to a larger gage? I know the MMM uses a much larger gage wire. What do you think?

I don't think you have too. You won't be pulling that many amps on 6s with the 1400kv motor.

Wire gauge/diameter is a function of current, not voltage: higher current require larger wire. Like snellemin said, if you're running 6s on a low current setup, the existing wires will be fine.
