So i was driving around last night and my antenna cord broke off now my micro t doesn't work at all! not even one little glitch
can i fix this? The only thing i can think of is that i will have to get all new electronics?

Open the electronics box and resolder the wire back on to the circuit board, that is pretty much your only option to repair it.

redbaron9898 , take off the REC/ESC cover , look too the right of the antenna wire , there is a screw there that mounts the circut board too the chassis that has a brass ring underneath it . You can take out that screw and get some wire from an old phone cord and strip a little off the end and wrap it around the screw then put the screw back in and tighten it down .

This should fix your problem , that or just resolder the wire too the circut board . But you will need to take out the REC/ESC to do that .

confession- it still worked after the cord broke off when i soldered it back on it stopped working

[:@] That sounds bad. Did you melt something? how many watts is your iron/gun?

Antenna wires need to be a exact length for the frequency that they run off. You could email losi or look for the exact length that it was. If nothing works after you soldered it back on you might have fried the board by applying too much heat. Its hard to say.

LOL , The plot thickens ! [X(] Try desoldering it and cleaning any extra solder from the area , then either resolder it or try the screw , make the wire about 5-6 inches long .

if it needs to be a certain length than why did it work after int broke off
ps it broke off about an inch above the circuit board

It doesn;t have to be a certain length to work but it will get the best range with the right length. So you soldered the wire and didn't get the gun near the PCB? That would mean you didn't overheat it I guess, maybe your solder blob is to heavy and it is messing with your reception.
