Well, if all that's normal I'm glad I bought the non normal one I have no play what so ever in steering wheel on the transmitter and I dont have that odd looking extra piece hanging off the receiver antenna.

You must have got the older one. Mine has no play. However, it does have that extra piece on the antenna. Right in the manual it says it should have it, so I'm not worried.

That extra piece sticking out of the Coax cable is the antenna. The 2.4 receivers have a length of coax (Grey part) followed by the antenna (Clear Part).
