Started work on my 1/16 MPC Charger K & K build, working on the engine. The wires and tubing... there is plenty of the spark plug wires but the “medium tubing” is definitely gonna fall way short... dunno about the “large tubing”... anyone else encounter this? Was my kit shorted?

I remember running short of tubing on the Round 2 rerelease of the 1/16 Chargers, too.

Low voltage 'bell' wire is a much better choice. The model train guys use it for hook ups.....hobby shop or some electrical supply.

Yup, that’s what my local shop owner recommended to me and i used it. 30 gauge stranded, works perfect except for it is more rigid than the kit tubing and doesn’t bend/curve as easily, but once you get that curve in it, it holds.
