Mini T antenna length
I ripped out the antenna on my mini T and now I need to know how long should it be I have tried 14 as well as 19 and both give me a range of less than 30 feet
Someone please measure it or give me some idea of how to go about increasing my distance
BTW I bought the car used and the antenna was 19 but range was maybe 25 feet
Am I right in thinking that all I need to do is solder on a new antenna or do I have a problem with the receiver
I do not get glitching it just stops working if I walk toward the car all is well again till i get like 25 feet from the car then no control at all
It just has no control at all no movement in the throttle or steering[

RE: Mini T antenna length
Stock radio is am so add 2 diodes to your motor. This will cut down freq interference. Also wrap the wire back down your antena tubbing. My length is 14" and I have great range. Recheck new contact that you made when you replaced it.
