My 2ch traxxas reciever I use in one of my cars has lost the reciever wire again. It is now un repairable (the wire) so I was wondering; what kind of wire I solder onto the reciever board to replace?

The Mad Modder

Try one as similar as possible. Especially make sure that the wire you use is the exact same length as the one it is to replace was.

Go to a hobby store and you can buy a roll of the antenna wire. Be carefull using just anywire... if its not shielded correctly it may result in some glitchy behavior. I have tried this many different times and hobby-greade antenna wire indeed works the best.

quick story.. I lost the antenna wire on my old Hobbico Avistar (.40 glow powered airplane) and replaced it with a thin gauged wire and ran it back to the fin. I did do a radio check at the field and everything seemed perfect. Once in the air, I noticed a non resposive plane when I reached some heights... long story short, the antenna I used made my plane fly up and out and I couldn't ge *** back. We did find the plane... crashed in a corn field about a mile away ( minimal damage) and I properly replaced the antenna wire and it never happend again.

so, good luck and be careful!

Use the white Futaba receiver antenna. They work fine. Tower has them and most hobby shops will carry them.

MOVMX Racer

how much does the wire cost? Also, how much do I need?

The_Collector

It's a single pre-measured piece. Price is $1.59.

If you cut your own, 20 " is about what you need.
