Better antenna

Post by Bit boy »

i got about 40' of range with my new antenna. i posted this on TRC but i dont know if everybody goes over there so here goes. get a wire like big RC cars use for antennas. then get an antenna tube for a 1:10 scale car (if your stealin parts off your big car just snagg em of there thats what i did :) ) then trim the tube to about 8 in and the wire to 9 or 9 1/2 in. then strip the bottom of the wire about a half inch then make a loop and hook it to the antenna screw. run the wire down the slot in the back of the antenna mount and cut a small piece of thin plastic the right size to serve as a strap to mount the antenna and put a small screw in to hold it. cut the hole in the body a little bigger to fit around the antenna. and finnaly go piss your friends of by driving farther than them and not having your car stutter all the time.
