Dickie Normuss Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've been asked to fix a remote controlled toy for a colleagues young son, it turns out the wire between said toy and the controller has multiple breaks in it. I need about 2 metres of thin, flexible and well insulate 6 core wire to fix it. Suggestions? VX HPC - Loud and proud here Adding power makes you faster on the straights.

MusCat Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Trailer cable? Has enough cores but may not be thin enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerBrain Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Maplins has 6 core burglar alarm cable (69p/m) and 6 core telephone cable (79p/m) I think phone cable is solid core, so not as flexible and I've struggled to solder it in the past. cheers, Darren.

CageyH Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Alarm cable is usually solid core as well, I believe. Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
