try my way to just solder him onto a steel antenna, its simple and effective ... i can run them at the end of our battlefield that over 110m far they react very well on the 40Mhz transmitters ... no need to wind them up keep it simple guy's
Are you talking about an inside hidden antenna, or keeping an outside antenna but placing it in the correct area on the tank where the antenna should be located, which for a Heng Long tank could be considered "hiding it"
?
If you are talking about an inside straight antenna, it would be great if you would post some pictures of your setup for everyone to see how you did it.
But just like some people experiencing great range with the inside coil antennas, while some have not had it, it goes the same with just using straight or bent antennas inside the tanks too. Also have to keep in mind that your 40MHz system performance most likely isn't going to be completely comparable to what an identical setup in a Heng Long tank using a 27MHz system might achieve.
