jbinkley, what you said about the mechanical problems resulting from larger wire is what another EE was trying to tell me.  Basically, from what I could tell he was saying, you can actually cause damage to an engine (motor) by using wire that is too big.  I am not an EE and I have no idea why that is but I was concerned about it.  I don't mind using 14 gauge wire as long as I know it will not cause the mechanical problems you and this other EE alluded to.
