[OXO cube]

seems quite a few use the fluxed type 

the only reason i can see for NOT using fluxed wick is that the flux could in theory leave a residue on plastic track rails which in turn could lead to some oxidization / corrosion 

but from what i can see the tiny amounts reflected here would have negligible results / effects

most people keep on top of their braids since they are so important , and clean them regularly , surely this maintenance will quickly remove any of this flux 

any initial loss of a 'good' contact due to a flux coating would in theory quickly disappear  within the 1st couple laps due to wear / friction 

please bear in mind , this is only my own 'tin pot' way of thinking and has not been verified either way at the moment 

will conduct back to back tests when the fluxed braid arrives 

and post any relevant results
