need a new TX antenna?

i sure did, snapped my antenna in half. found a replacement though. the TX antenna was very similar to this antenna i had on a RC TX from a different scale car and the only difference was the XMod one was very slightly thinner. i looked at RS after finding out every RSU part was backordered and saw a similar antenna that they were selling. all three had the same screw in terminal on teh bottom but like the other antenna i found, it was slighly thicker than teh XMod antenna. all you have to do is get a rounded file and file out some of the plastic on the top of the controller where it the hole is. the hole is slightly smaller to fit the XMod antenna but the shaft behind it was wider and coudl accomodate a slightly thicker antenna. after i carefully filed out that hole, my new antenna fit perfectly in place. i coudl post pics but i didn't see the need to

Is it longer? That would be a good way to boost range, if you use it in conjunction with a longer RX antenna.

the replacement i found was pretty close to an optimal length (length is some quarter of the wavelength) for 27MHz, i calculated 28 or 54 inches to be quarters of the wavelength and the antenna is about 27 inches fully extended.

the antennas from clone bitchargs (the dome ones) fit in the controller also and are a bit longer.
