question #1: so sunday i finished breaking in my engine. a pit bull that belongs to my neighbor bit off the antenna. i know i need a new one but how bad is it to drive around w/ my antenna only 4 inches long? i do have a viper green thingy rev, temp, and volt regulator. it is not instailed yet i am putting it on tomorrow. i will not beable to get a new antenna till next week.

question #2: also my tires came unglued. do i need to use rc type glue or is there a general type of glue that will also work?

thanks for the help,

Don't drive it with the antenna that short (BAD IDEA!) and you need to get the RC type glue, its called CA glue.

my antenna got cut about an inch long on my jato once, the thing is i didnt notice it, and i kept losing range every time i got 10 feet away, luckily i have a failsafe

i used super glue on my tires and they are fine i hear it is the same as CA glue

ok i am putting my fail safe on tomorrow. it is a gree box called viper w/ a snake on the front. my rc place is closed on mondays. i'll see if i can find another source for the glue.

later
super glue glue is a bit cheaper and i have plenty at work. sweet thanks!

let me know if i am wrong, but i was told the the reciever and antenna were made together. so i am in the understanding that you will need a whole new reciever

no you wont, you just need to soder a new one on

if you still have the rest of the wire you can solder it back on but remeber to use some heat shrink over the soldered area so it can't make contact with anything to prevent glitching, also if you don't have the old peice use wire that is the same thickness and if you can make the length about 1.5 to 2 foot total length ask here if you need to know the length for your reciver antenna

ok fixed it i had a nother wire same gauge. i spliced and soddered them together w/ shrikn. everything works fine. the green gadget is a venom. i got it hooked up and works well. i'm posting pics of it on my photo album w/ the new body sometime tonight. www.mikegardner.myphotoalbum.com
