Can this wire from the CPU power supply labelled as 18AWG be used with the CC25P. The PS label indicates max amp is 25A for this wire.

They are all wires, no problem lah!

The only different is that our PHX normally uses Silicone insulator type of wire but computer wire is rubber type.
The difference between the wire is that Silicone wire do not melt when wire heat up but rubber wire do melt.

thanks for the assurance, but u don't sound or look that confident...Originally posted by csisfun

So if I test it and the heating does not harm the wire, and if the measured current draw is within 10 to 15 amps, then its safe?Originally posted by Super-Hornet

So long as the wire can withstand the current draw and it does not goes hot then it is ok.

Wires are not just wires...try using any wire to cut foam..!! Anyway, have got your stuff with me...33 in total..RegardsComment

I have used the 18AWG wires on the batt end of the CC25P and when testing the AXI 2212/34 w 10x7 prop, the amp draw was 10A. There was no heating up on the wires at all. Hope it stays that way, otherwise I'll be the first to have a foam F18 melt down in the air...

Hi, I think you don't need 10X7, use 9X7 is good enough, draw lower amp, try to do this experiment.
Weight your aircraft...500g etc... then put a 9X7 prop, hold your aircraft vertical, hit full power, if your aircraft can float upwards, you already have more than 1:1 power to weight ratio,
adding more dia and pitch to prop thereafter will only load your system, generating more heat and shorter fly time.
If 9X7 cannot make it then go higher dia and lower pitch etc...RegardsComment
