    The wire that goes from the panel to the throttle on my NCE Powercab is rather stiff.
    Maybe its just me but I find it kind of annoying. So my question is, Is there a different wire that I can use that is more flexible?

    Thanks
    John

    Yep, annoying. I new I would not like it so I ordered a 10'-six wire coil cord to replace it. It cannot be the normal 4 wire throttle cord like the coil cord that came with the unit. It was supplied for using your throttle on another system as a procab.
    The extra two wires carry track power.

    By the way good choice and have fun.

    John,
    could you please advise us the number of this NCE cord?
    I too find the cable very annoying

    Be sure to order the 6 wire cord. There are four or five to select from. If unsure just email them and they will direct you.
