Cant wait to see the updated pics. I like this project.
The antenna is fixed, and the receiver worked in my TC4 yesterday (drifting). However, with the Revo I was only getting about 50ft. of range in each direct before the antenna ripped. In the TC4 my range was at least 100-150ft (for me distance is harder to measure as things get further away). I will have to find the cause of this glitching, as it has been affecting my cars (Revo, Rustler, X-Terminator) for years now. It's a MX-3 75mhz FM with a Novak XXL using "genuine" Airtronics crystals.
