Besides, a bunch of 2 conductor or even individual wires in the cable chain are generally more flexible than bigger multicore would be. I purposely buy cable chain with double the estimated window size just so I can snap it open and add another functions wires or hoses without having to redesign for a whole new cable. This particular change will do away with a small plastic hose taking 10 psi to the coolant bottle, replacing it with some 18 gauge black and red zip, only marginally stiffer than the small bore hose being pulled out. A pressure regulator at the coke bottles intake vent will go away, which weighs a long pound, in favor of a 2oz pump, a net loss in the "unsprung weight" the y motor has to move. Overall, I think a net gain in both velocity and accel settings for the y. No change in z w/o a bigger motor, its pretty puny. A motor I have, about a 235oz I'd estimate at 3x the torque of the oem toy, but I've misslaid my round tuit. If I ever find a good image to put on it that isn't copyrighted, I'll make a couple dozen more, wiping out that excuse. ;-) But first, make this mister work... :)

I wound up getting some 18 gauge from amazon, the next size down was 28 gauge. Even at .5 amps, that seemed a bit small. But by the time its strung thru all the cable chain, estimated at 17-18 feet, I'd druther be big enough than to find I've only 8 volts at the 12 volt motor.
