What many pilots like about ProModeler extensions versus whatever you buy from hobby dealers are they're insulated with silicone instead of PVC. This means they're very soft and supple, which lets them be routed through tight spots and around sharp corners better. That, and the silicone rubber resists abrasion better.
They're also twisted instead of flat so if the ESC ever begins to fail and emit stray RFI, then the twisting resists allowing the signal to make it into your receiver. And without getting too deep into the weeds, the theory behind twisting it it reduces the strength of noise signals *and* cancels out external RFI-waves by moving a part of the noise in the direction of the signal and another part in the opposite direction. However, while stray RFI this is a *much* bigger deal with folks flying ignition powered engines it's still worth a thought with electric-powered models, too. Heads up!
Another thing to watch for with extensions is because the tabs that hold the individual pins in place are delicate, make sure you're not being ham-handed and forcing them in such a way as to displace the pins, this is another way of saying use your eyes and confirm the integrity of the connection, capisci? Trust but verify!
