µ-Pro bullet plugs & Super-12 AWG wire

µ-Pro bullet plugs & Super-12 AWG wire

With increasing power delivery from brushless motors and lithium polymer batteries, internal resistance of device-to-device interconnects and electrical contacts have become more critical parts for today’s R/C car racing. µ-Pro has targeted the market needs and come out with the male bullet plugs and the “Super-12” AWG wire.  The bullet plugs minimize contact resistance. They come in two sizes, with diameter ø4mm and ø5mm, these sizes working with the latest available lithium polymer batteries. The “Super-12” AWG wire claims to have a higher current density capability than ordinary 12 AWG wires available in the market.
