Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why 14AWG? Isn't XT30 usually 16AWG? Yes, XT30 is typically paired with 16AWG. We use thicker 14AWG to reduce resistance and ensure the wire itself never becomes the bottleneck or gets warm under load.

2. Is this Male-to-Male? No, this is Male-to-Female (Extension). It has one of each gender to fit between a battery and a device.

3. Can I use this for 6S batteries? Yes, the silicone wire handles high voltage easily. Just ensure your current draw stays within the XT30's limits (approx 30A continuous).

4. What is the total length? 10cm of wire plus the connectors results in a total length of approx 12-13cm.

5. Is the wire flexible? Yes, extremely flexible. Silicone wire bends easily around tight corners in drone frames.

6. Will this fit XT60? No, XT60 is larger. This is for the smaller XT30 yellow connectors.

7. Can I use it as a charging cable? Absolutely. It is great for extending charger leads.

8. Is it soldered properly? Yes, factory soldered and heat-shrinked for safety.

9. What is the weight? Approximately 12 grams.

10. Is it heat-resistant? Yes, silicone insulation is rated up to 200°C and won't melt if it touches a hot motor bell briefly.

11. Can I cut it? Yes, if you need a pigtail, you can cut it in half to get one Male and one Female pigtail.

12. Does it reduce power? Any extension adds some resistance, but with 14AWG wire, the loss is negligible for this short length.

13. Is it waterproof? The cable is, but the open connectors are not. Water can short the pins.

14. Which side connects to the battery? The Male side of this cable plugs into the Female connector on your battery.

15. Can I use it for audio? No, this is a power cable.

16. Is it suitable for RC cars? Yes, for 1/16 or 1/18 scale cars that use XT30.

17. What is the colour? Standard Red (+) and Black (-) wires.

18. Are the connectors branded Amass? Usually, generic high-quality, fully compatible with Amass.

19. Can I daisy chain them? Yes, but keep it reasonable. Too many connections add resistance.

20. Is the wire copper? Yes, tinned multi-strand copper.
