Hi,
The Taigen turret 360 kits have thin wires that appear to be very durable. It could be AWG26 or similar. Anyone can tell me what they are made of and how to find them on the internet?

I have thin silicone covered wires with twisted copper inside. (Not quite sure about the material honestly) but these tend to break easily right at the solder joint.

I should imagine the taigen wires are copper.

Dave only has this one in stock.

Thanks. Been checking for years. These wires have a stiff core. Most I’ve seen have twisted soft material that breaks easily.

You need very flexible leads so that the 360 rotation is not restricted by the cable but the soldered joint is not flexible so that is where the breakages tend to occur. You can easily reinforce the cable at the joint by using a short length of heat shrink and/or a blob of 'Shoe Goo' - a clear air setting rubbery compound that every modeller should have in their tool box!
