antenna

[sevenfoot]

Could someone point me in the right direction for buying an antenna for my Emaxx off of towerhobbies.com? I bought mine used, and I think it is too short, only about 12 inches max.

Which antenna? on the Transmitter or reciever? If reciever, I believe you will have to purchase a new reciever. If transmitter, here ya go:

receiver, but the description doesn't say you get an antenna.

There was a discussion about antennas a couple weeks ago. I believe the correct length is around 22-24 inches. Do a search and you'll find it. I might have even asked the question. There were also some good links to web sites with instructions on how to replace the receiver antenna. It involved opening the receiver and doing some minor solder work.

Later,

Rob wouldn't I still need to buy the antenna?

[RobDBell]

Yes. Sorry, didn't mean to imply that you didn't. You just need to by a suitable antenna wire of the right length and then solder it in as a replacement for the old one.

One like this (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXH355&P=7) should work fine. You just cut it to the correct length for the E (based on what you find in the search of the old thread).
