i want to get some things from hobby king and was wondering what size heat shrink fits 8 ga wire and 5.5 plugs? they show it in metric 5mm 6 mm etc.

5/8" is the standard size if you buy it in the states but it looks like 6mm is what you need from HK.

I have 1/4 inch heat shrink with glue on the inside. It really helps to prevent it from falling down when you are pulling the wires apart. It also shrinks down more than normal shrink. Just something to keep in mind.

The 6mm heat shrink from Hobby King will just fit the 5.5's it takes a little massaging but it fits.

Make sure they are cold when you slide it on.
