Antenae length??

[notnodak]

I purchased a Losi DSM out of a Mini Slider to put in my Brushless Maxx to hopefully fix the range/glitching problem. When I recieved it today I noticed the antenae is only about 3" long from case to end. If I put this in my reciever box(3905Maxx) it'll stick out maybe an inch. Can I just add to it so I can get to the antenae tube and just make it long enough to stay under the body or won't it matter? I'll test it tomorrow to see but I don't like surprises

I had one on my mlst2 that I just let lay flat on the body - worked like a charm. no need for a tube.

I think antennae length are tuned for a particular frequency or something, so I wouldnt mess around changing it. 2.4Ghz all seem to use much shorter antennae as well

[tashpop]

just leave it as is.

My only concern is that it barely gets out of the Rx case an inch

[Sammus]

I dont think thats a concern... let it hang out, or curl it up inside, shouldn't matter, unless your rx case is lined with lead :P

[notnodak]

No, no lead but that Kriptonite might be an issue.

The 2.4 gz are made to have a super short antena. Just leave it like it is. If you want just put a 1" tube on it.

So far alls good but I had to tuck the whole thing under the Rx cover. I'll test more today and tomorrow to be sure. I need to make sure the radio and ESC are linked up correct

I run my futaba 2.4ghz antennas usually right along the chassis. Best reception out of anything I have ever owned so I don't think you will have a problem.
