If all you can find is mm2 wire, 2.5mm2 is about right.

I use 12 gauge wire for my ESCs. Wentzels, Roffes should most probably have wires in stock. I use Novak wires.

There is an advantage with RC wires over regular electric wires, they are softer.

Just have a search on ebay for 12 or 14 gauge silicon wire. That's the stuff you're after (I use 12 gauge on the power wires on my ESC and 14 gauge off to the motor).
