Which AWG size should I pick for my battery and starter leads?

Heavier gauges carry more current, so use the thicker 12 or 14 AWG for battery and starter leads. Save the thin 18 to 30 AWG for signal wiring and small electronics. This range covers high-current power runs down to delicate connections.

Can this wire handle the heat inside an engine bay?

Yes. The silicone insulation is rated from about -60C to +200C, so it holds up near hot engine components. It resists melting and cracking where standard PVC wire would fail.

Is this good for RC models and drones?

It works well there. The fine-stranded copper and soft silicone jacket make it very flexible and easy to route in tight spaces. The thinner gauges keep weight down for drones and small RC builds.
