Cheers mate

Is it better to wire over the pod or throw the pod?

Glenn's right on gauge, 16 throughout.

Over or though, personal preference. Just make sure it can't snag on any car parts or the body, and the pod movement stays free at all times.

Personally I prefer to use a heavier wire for the battery connections for no other reason than these are the ones you pull on all the time and don't flex

TQ 16 Gauge-665 strand Extremely Silicone Wire
 
Hi Jason,

the best wire 'by far' is the TQ superflex 16 gauge wire!

Regards,
Bart

Cheers guys

I have bought the TQ Flex wire so spot on there

Being I normally race buggys off road I made mistake of wiring it all in 12awg

Thus meaning I have struggled get body shell on lol :-)

Anyway hopefully will get all minor stuff ironed out before Chesterfield

Starts up again.
