Wire cover

[Maxists The Baddist]

Could someone tell me where to find that nice looking wire covering that I see used to hide/protect servo wires. What's it called. Where to buy it? What size to buy?

I checked out cableorganizer.com, not a bad selection.
I checked out Jaguar Industries, not really for the individual consumer.

I actually bought from http://www.cabletiesplus.com/ best price and quick delivery.

Also at Mcmaster.com too, though they don't have a big a color selection their shipping dept ROCKS. Alot of other neat goodies there including shrinkwrap, velcro straps and metric hardware. I got some cool blue metric screws for my Evo that really look good and eliminate the phillips heads that come in the kit.

Forgot Mcmaster. They are good too.

Here's what I found to be the best combination of stuff so that you dont have to remove servo
connectors.

1/4" polyester mesh sleeving (page 735)

3/8" 3:1 ratio adhesive-lined (dual-wall) heatshrink

The 3:1 heatshrink is big enough to pass over the servo connector easily yet shrink down
tight. And the adhesive keeps it all from coming undone.

Cut the heatshrink into pieces 10-12mm long (you dont want too long) and leave a little
wire exposed at the servo connector because the heatshrink will prevent you from bending
it (another reason for the 10-12 length). Heat it/shrink it and let the adhesive cool for 2 minutes

1)shameless plug: Big Al's hobby Supply

2)I call it wire protector or wire loom

3)see #1 :wink:

4) I use 1/8" for my servo wires and 1/4" for doubled up leads, fuel line, etc.

Here is a link to an instruction page I made up for the loom:
