Not too exciting but may be of use to some. On another forum a fellow stated he used mil spec wire for his servo leads. Had to check it out. In the photo below the standard Futaba colored 22 gauge servo wire measures .056" in diameter. The green/black white 22 gauge wire from. Advanced Radio measures .051". The Red/Blue/white wire is from Power Box and is the metric equivalent to 22 gauge power and ground while the white wire is closer to 24 gauge. The red and blue measure .039" and white is .034".
The mil spec wire is described as follows;

"M22759/32 is a lightweight, high temperature airframe and avionics wire insulated with a single layer of cross-linked, modified ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) coating and rated at 150 degrees C (302 degrees F). It has a tin plated copper conductor and is rated at 600V. The dual insulation provides superior cut-through and abrasion resistance making it ideal for use in Mil-Spec, Aerospace and Motorsports applications.

  • Conductor: Tin Plated Copper
  • Insulation: Cross Linked ETFE
  • Temperature Rating: -65 - 150°C
  • Voltage Rating: 600 Volts R.M.S.
  • Cable Type: Spec 55A
  • Gauge: 20
  • Impulse Dielectric Test: 100% test, 8.0kV Peak"
Ordered 50' of 22 gauge red and black, 50 ' of 26 gauge white, and 25' of yellow with a green strip (they were out of solid yellow). The 22 gauge wire measures .040" and the 26 gauge is .031". The cost for three wire serve wire is $.93 per ft for 22 gauge/ 26 gauge. After looking at it today I order 50' of 20 gauge red and black, I'm sure it will fit into a standard servo connector, the cost for 20/26 gauge is$1.15 per ft. 50 meters of the .35 mm squared Power Box wire is $145. I plan to roll my own from now on. When using the .35 mm squared PB wire, the servo connectors push right into the housing.
