Antenna lengths

OK, i've just made a custom antenna for my bit, i got a length of cat 5 network cable and got the blue and green wires out of it, then twisted them together.. it's really heavy atm (making my car wheelstand constantly when i push it back ), so what length should i cut it to? how long is your antenna?

i did blue and green because im thinking of replicating the HKS drag skyline (yes i know it's an R33 not an R34 :P)

Dual antennas

IF you are using dual antennas, try using 28awg, or the next smaller size than what you have now. Cat-5's usually have 24awg which gets pretty thick when twisted together. Once your antennas are done, you can arch it over toward the front bumper to lower your center of gravity. Because Bits are so small, the length of the antenna wont make a big difference. There is a way to create optimum length, but because the scale and eletronics are so small and cheap, the optimum lengths will be fractioned into insignificance.
