Silver magnet wire for a motor

I'm looking to build a custom 130 motor. My current specs were an 11m armature and .55 silver magnet wire. The supplier I was ordering from is having Paypal issues, so I need a new source. Maybe my search keyword selection sucks, but I have not been able to locate a decent source of R/C-grade silver motor wire (I'm assuming the armatures and cans, etc. aren't going to be too difficult to acquire). Has anyone here been able to locate & purchase silver magnet wire (thicker the better, because I'd like to throw a ton of voltage at it, although I'm not opposed to multiple windings)? I'm looking to build the absolute optimal motor possible (my XMODS car is being built with as much of a Formula 1 philosophy as I can find), and the silver wire is the core of all my planned motors.

Carmoworld.com sells it, if you can get them to respond. However, silver isn't terribly marvelous at withstanding very high voltages. It's the best conductor in the world, but it doesnt like larger voltages. That's why not too many people use silver brushes if they can avoid it.
