Antenna problem

[TL-Ownz]

I recieved a buggy that had a futaba reciever and its antenna was bout 2 inch long. can i juss attach a wire to it?

Go to the lhs and buy an antenna, and try to attack it to the board. If you can't, I think you can just solder it to the end of the wire.

attack it?

sounds like youre not good with electronics.

ok, i had the same problem, but mine got cut off, from bsahing.

just buy a new antenna wire, and make sure you solder it on to the right place on the circuit board.

Dude, you know he meant attach it. Don't be so harsh.

:rollin: Actually, I do fear that attack is more akin to my workings with electronics.

Wait. Make sure you buy the same guage wire with same wire inside. Attenna's are "Tuned" to the radio, meaning if you jack something up your radio can glitch and your car takes off. Just make sure its the SAME TYPE of wire and SAME GUAGE.:)

and how can i tell what kinda gauge wire i have

Just go to a hobby shop and ask for an antenna for your receiver. They're like 2 bucks.
